I have a Webkit plugin and NPAPI plugin. Both work fine in Safari but just would not work in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3) .

about:plugins shows it as installed but when I try to access it from html page none of the entry points in a code are being called.(None of trace statement are being hit) I think Firefox has problem loading those plugins.

I have similar NPAPI plugin working fine in Windows environment on all browsers, but MAC is giving me this problem.

Does anyone has any ideas of what could be the problem?


I even took a BASICPLUGIN sample for MAC and it has the same problem. Anyb


This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Christofer,

I solved my problem after not getting any responses..... Turns out that some of my xcode compilation switches had to be changed, send me your minimal code that I can compile and i will help you finding it......My NSAPI plugin works just great with all mac browsers....in fact it is the same code excatly as i have for windows, just had to rename some files from .cpp to .m so that I could yuse some cocoa objects....
