Firefox Support Forum

On several sites I have been alerted that I need to install the Adobe Flash Player plugin 10.3.183.7 in order to seeing everything correctly. When I select the install button, I get the message that it could not be installed and that I had to install it manually. Selecting any choices within the dropdown gets no response. And, interestingly, I already have Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (the latest one) installed on my computer. How do I install this plug in?

Hi! I am running Ubuntu 11.10. My Firefox version is 7.0.1. I want to watch streaming movies from http://www.watch-movies.net.in but I can't. I click the link so that the movie screen loads but it says that 'I should install the XviD codec to watch MPEG-4 movies'. Please help!

I just want to open Firefox to the Start page but that comes up as a second tab. The first tab is always Firefox Downloads and I am prompted to open or save a .dmg file. I have dragged that file to the trash, emptied the trash and it still won't stop prompting me. I just want to open Firefox and get the start page. How do I accomplish this?

Dear All, Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

The web site http://web.nessplus.com/en/ appears as my home page although I repeatedly set it to be http://www.msu.edu with TOOLS option. It was an accidental download of a program that was supposed to convert file formats. It does not appear in my Control Panel so I do not know how to uninstall it.

is there anyway Firesheep will work with Firefox 7.0.1? The exact error message I recieved is below in quotes. "Firesheep could not be installed because it is not compatable with Firefox 7.0.1."

The source code for the page has the jpg files but does not show but it works on Internet explorer. On Firefox, I can still use the zip file to get the jpg files but it is more convenient to see them to see which ones I want. It was working but then stopped. This is the link for the page - http://www.wpanorama.com/panoramas.php Thank you.

I hope I don't get the "too many characters" warning. I kept it short, less than 100 and it still gave me the warning. The add-on I talk about is the Norton Toolbar. Self explanatory. Why so many FF Upgrades? I moved to FF to get away fr: IE upgrades. FF is far worse now.

Does the auto update only occur when the add-on page at F/F extensions is at a later version than the installed one. In addition can I remove and then install manually?

This error is happening virtually every time I open an email in Yahoo mail and also on many other sites. The majority of the time the script that fails is chrome://divxextension/content/script.js:132 although occasionally there are others. I don't even have Chrome open and I don't understand why it keeps failing. It's so annoying that I'm ready to go back to IE.

Any help will be appreciated.

Since upgrading to Version 8 my echofon [twitter add on] and gmail have now moved from the righhand side of the "Add on bar" to the left and I cant see how to move them back. I've looked on the Mozilla FAQ etc but cant work it out. Anyone know how to correct this?

I have the paid for version of roboform 6 and do not intend to pay for their latest version. I am using firefox 3.6 but keep being nagged to upgrade to the latest version. If I cannot use roboform with the latest version I will look for a browser that can.

Since I installed FF 8.0 I keep having this problem: whenever I try to use a flash-based object (game, YouTube video etc.), there seems to be a problem with the alignment of the mouse: the position of the pointer in the object frame is different then in the normal window, which means that it's really difficult to click, as the game/video only recognizes the alignment of the mouse in the window and not the "virtual" pointer in the game. Previously, in FF 7, I didn't have any problem with this at all; I tried re-installing Adobe Flash Player, but it didn't work.

Any idea of how to fix this?

After Firefox 8, I cannot see the extensios.rdf file as before. Basically, here I used to get the firefox key e.g. {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} and then get the FF version via em:minVersion/em:maxVersion.

bold textI am working with an html document located on my desktop (so no internet access involved). There are links to movies which work fine. There are links to a pdf document which don't work and just open an empty tab. My understanding of the relationship between Firefox and the plug-ins / add-ons in minimal so I don't know where the problem lies.

The document is an established piece of educational software with many hundreds of users having not experienced this problem which suggests the files are set up correctly.

I've tried adjusting the setting of pdf download (under Firefox/Tools) but they seem to make no difference as though that's not the plug-in being called for.

Just loaded Fedora 16 and it comes with FireFox7. Followed all of the instructions to download Adobe Flash, loaded the .so into the plugin directory, but the plugin did not appear.

Followed the Troubleshooting instructions and deleted the pluginreg.dat and then restarted FF.

Looked at the newly created pluginreg.dat and found this:

   [INVALID]
   /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so:$
   1321705544000:$

Obviously, the flash plugin is still not recognized.

Noted that all of the .so libraries in the plugin directory had 755 mode, changed the libflashplayer.so to the same permissions. No effect.

Where to now?
