You only posted the param tags.

What is the code of the containing object tag?

Does it include a type attribute?

All of them show up to date, this is a new install.

I don't know how to do this? Step by step?

How did you get the param code you posted above?

You can use the built-in Inspector to inspect the plugin code (right-click: Inspect Element).

type="application/x-oleobject"

How does this affect this running of the plugin?

Actually type="application/x-oleobject" looks like a problem. OLE is a proprietary technology that I suspect will only work in Internet Explorer.

But the system requirements include other browsers: http://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/northamerica/mathxl/system-requirements/index.html

So what is going on??

I noticed at the top of your screen shot it says "Object moved" which is the kind of message you get for a redirect, but not a normal page title. Does your Firefox block redirects? Please check here just in case:

"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced

On the General mini-tab, in the Accessibility section, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

If you changed that, any difference?

Thank you, jscher2000

I tried that but it never stops trying to reload the page, the plugin never works. It's weird because I've had sessions where the plugin was working but I'll come back later and it won't.

Maybe you need too install Silverlight.

You probably should use one of your Microsoft browsers to do your homework at this point. Don't those work on the site?

My microsoft browsers (edge and explorer) hang and freeze up while using the homework window. Pearson is being a tremendous pain in the ass.
