+The 64-bit version of [[https://notepad-plus-plus.org/|Notepad++]] is [[https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2459|not compatible]] with the [[https://bruderste.in/npp/pm/|Plugin Manager]], so install the 32-bit version (unless you want to manually install and maintain plugins).
-''cinst firefox noscript https-everywhere-firefox''
+**NOTE:** Updating this package without specifying 32-bit will install the 64-bit version, removing the plugins. Update this package separately and before a ''cup all''.
