VMWare Remote Console Plug-in for Firefox 4.0.1 (host OS Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 desktop)

I installed host "Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 desktop" successfully. Then installed VMWare Server 2.0.2 successfully.
I have a message "VMWare Remote console Plug-in is not compatilble with Firefox 4.0.1" when running Firefox.
1) How can I get "VMWare Remote console Plug-in" fully compatilble with Firefox 4.0.1?
2) How can I replace Firefox 4.0.1 (build in Ubuntu 11.04) with Firefox 3.6?
Have any ideas for fix this problem?

Just tried to download firefox 3.6 from mozilla and I have found that it is no longer available, only version 13, even the links for version 3.6 are broken. I am unable to do anything with my virtual server. This is not a very good demonstration of your software.

It say "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" after installed VMware Remote Console Plug-in!

Dears,
I have installed VMware server 2.0.2 in Windows 7, everything is working but one thing not...
When I control my VM by VMware remote console, sometime It(VMware Infrastructure Web Access) tell me "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" even I have installed it many time.
What can I do?

The following workaround works on Windows for any browser.
(1) install the plug in. Never mind that it does not work.
(2) locate the executable vmware-vmrc.exe, this is typically in the following directory
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in"
(3) Obtain the virtual machine ID from the links for the VM in the web UI. e.g. the following is machine ID 192
https://servername:8333/ui/#{e:"VirtualMachine|192",w:{t:true,i:0}}
In IE you get these by selecting the link and then looking at its properties using right click.
If you are really keen and want to write something more sophisticated the VM ID codes seem to be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Server\hostd\vmInventory.xml
(4) you can then create a COMMAND file or shortcut on your desktop (for the example above).
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in\vmware-vmrc.exe" -h localhost:8333 -M 192
When you use this link you will need to log in using the webui username and password, and it will start the VM if it is not running.
(5) I use the following batch file (I am old school), as an icon on my desktop. I have not tried, but it should work from ANO desktop provided the VRMC is installed on the client and the script uses the correct IP for the host.
Hope that helps someone and saves them the time I have just spent.

Save As dialog hangup (Plug-in for Firefox)

Hi folks,
I'm running Firefox 5.0, equipped with the Adobe Acrobat (Reader?) 10.1.0.534 Plug-In for Firefox, on several fully patched XP Pro systems. On a regular basis I view publicly accessible/non-DRMd PDFs via the Plug-in and save a copy by mousing to the bottom of the viewport to activate the autohide toolbar thingy and clicking on "Save a copy". Doing so causes a Save As dialog to pop up. Very frequently, an attempt to use that Save As dialog... immediately clicking Save to save to the default directory or clicking the Desktop icon to change to a different directory... will cause that Save As dialog to indefinetely hang. In order to clear this condition I have to kill the AcroRd32.exe process, and sometimes also the plugin-container.exe and firefox.exe processes as well. The problem is intermittent in the sense that it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't happen, even for the same exact PDF file. This is something I've coped with for a very long time, under different versions of Firefox, on old as well as newly created XP Pro installs, before and after purging/reinstalling Firefox and Adobe software, different versions of the Plug-in, etc.
Is this a known problem? Has anyone else experienced this type of problem and found a way to prevent it from happening? Thanks in advance.

Acrobat is now at 11.0.3. Fixes for earlier versions come later.

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.

Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/

How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

AdobePDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape 10.0.1 won't update for me

I check my plug-ins almost daily. Adobe Acrobat needed to update. I have never had trouble before with this.
It's Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 that won't update. Thing is the Adobe Manger came on and it looked like it was done and in my Add-ons box it's there but the plug-in on my Firefox plug-in page says it's outdated. I tried to install it several times and the Adobe Manger downloads but site still says it's outdated. My Adobe Reader X works fine though. Maybe this is something I don't have to worry about but I don't know. So, I'm asking for some help.
Also, even though this didn't update correctly, when I did update the first time it brought along a new plug-in called getPlusPlus for Adobe 162103, at first I disabled it in my add-0n/plug-in box but I read that this helps Adobe Reader and I enabled it. But the Plug-in box remains grey and says unknown. So, should I disable it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Debbie

No, it won't interfere with your Adobe Reader X as it is only the problem with the plug-in. Your Adobe Reader X will still function normally. You should receive a notice from Adobe in your PC to notify you there's an update waiting to be installed, if you have chosen to be notified:
Open Adobe Reader X > Edit > Preference > Updater and choose whatever option you prefer.
Or you can also check for update periodically at Help > Check for Updates

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh Copy & Paste

PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh needs to allow for copy and paste functionality using the keyboard instead of only working with a mouse click when filling out online forms.

Yes, it's an identical copy (incl. version, dates and digitally-signed certs) as far as I can see on all these 3 folders located at C:\Program files\
-> Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser -> nppdf32.dll
-> Mozilla Firefox\plugins -> nppdf32.dll
-> Internet Explorer\PLUGINS -> nppdf32.dll <--- This folder and file
Please also note that IE Activex controls (3 files - also at version 9.5.2.295) are located at C:\Program files\Common files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
-> AcroPDF.dll (PDF Browser Control)
-> AcroIEHelper.dll (Adobe PDF Helper for Internet Explorer) and
-> AcroIEHelperShim.dll
Weird indeed! Any ideas?

PDF Plug-In For Firefox found at my IE Program Folder?

Hi:
During recent troubleshooting of my Adobe Reader 9.5.2 update's installation, I found a 'PLUGINS' folder containing a copy of the 'Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox (nppdf32.dll)', located at my Internet Explorer Program's files folder.
I wonder what would a Plugin for Firefox be possibly doing with my IE's files?
Does anybody know or have seen this?
Thanks in advance.

Where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

There are 2 versions of the add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2]. They both perform the same function of opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab, the main difference between the two is that IE Tab Plus also supports the Adblock Plus add-on being used inside the IE tab and can synchronize cookies.

I have installed Windows Media Player Plug-In for Firefox but the test video doesn't work, how can I solve this problem?

The plu-in is definitely there and installed

Is there a plug-in for Firefox 4.01 that allows tabs to open at the end? Millions of people do multiple searches on eBay and Craig's List - it is a pain to have to look at the results after each search instead of reviewing them when the searches are done

The the only answer I have found to this question does not apply to Firefox 4.01. The Plug-in for allowing tabs to open at the end that works in older versions of Firefox does not work in 4.01. I would like to know if there is a plug-in that works for 4.01 or when or if we can expect one.

Open new tabs on far right, restore pre Fx3.6 behavior, set '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' to '''false''' in '''about:config'''
For more information see item #36 in ...
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.
