The plugins still work OK from IE 32-bit. Make sure you're using that version (that version is the default in Windows 7/8.x). It is still supported, but like you've mentioned, Chrome and FF no longer allow plugins like this. The Application Launch stuff essentially tells the client PC to launch an application. The purpose is to launch an app with parameters that specify the target endpoint. For example, "telnet %host% %port%" would launch telnet against the local loopback socket, which would be proxied via iSession to the target by APM.
