Browser Plug-ins?

Hey Gang,
I am embedding PDFs in HTML pages for a client of mine, and there are display issues in different browsers. When I attempt to view the pages w/PDFs in Firefox, I get a pop-up message which reads "Addidtional plugins are required to display all the media on this page."
Oddly, though, When I attempt to view the pages in Safari 4.0.4 no additional plugins are required. Is this because Safari already has an Adobe reader plugin as one of its standard features?
Also, would a user's copy of Adobe reader/Acrobat in their applications folder perform the same function displaying PDFs in webpages, or does the PDF reader functionality need to reside in the web browser itself (via a third-party plugin, etc)?
I hope these questions make sense! Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers.

Adobe has only saw fit to create a plugin that worked with Safari. Last version or two of Safari has PDF supoort built in. I belive the last update of Acrobat has even stripped out the Plugin, because of this native support.
For FireFox, SeaMonkey, Camino, OmniWeb, Opera, and iCab require the use of the PDG Browser Plugin by Schubert of Germany. (google for it). It will allow you to view and save the Pdf through the browser. The only thing it won't do is fill in forms . We lost that ability with the adobe Plugin, when they switched to OSX in Version 6. version 5 of the Acrobat plugin worked with anything and did allow for filling of forms. The PC version even today allows for that and works with anything.

How do I upgrade Skype browser plug ins?

One of my system checker programs said that I should update to the latest Skype, so I just updated to 5.10.0.116 and I reran my checker program and it said that I should update the Skype browser plug ins, but I don't know how to do that. Both my Skype Browser Helper and Click to Call are 5.9.0.9216. How do I get the latest browser files? If it matters, I have Win 7.
Thanks
Solved!

Missing browser plug-ins

Hi,
I have LabVIEW 2011 installed in my PC and the labview program runs on it while communication with hardware via c-RIO. I have Mozilla browser plugins installed for LabVIEW Run-Time 2011. When I try to reinstall LabVIEW plug-ins, it says a higher version is already installed. When i try to run the same program on a web browser as html, it says plug-in missing. What are the possible solutions for this?

Hi,
Not really sure if you still really need help in this but did you install any LabVIEW plugins that is of higher version than the one you are installing? What is the Modzilla browser plugins that you are trying to install? Have you tried using IE instead?

Including sound file and browser plug-ins

Hi,
I've done som PDF:s with included soundfiles. I'm running XP and have the latest Acrobat Reader installed. When opening the docs from the web-site it looks just fine no matter what web-browser is used. The icon to play the sound file is there and the sound plays.
However, I just tested it from the customers Mac and from that machine there was no player button represented. I would be most greatful if someone in this forum has specific knowledge about mini requirements (OS/Browsers/Acrobat version) for those PDF:s to be able to display a play button?
My best
Michael

You can't convert to .idml by changing the file extension. You must export the file from the oringal version as a .idml file.
That said, you can use jongware's script to identify the version of the file, even if it won't open: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
That said, InBooklet SE was part of InDesign CS3, but I see it listed inthe plugins used. I also see a number of what look like third-party plugins listed, and that may be the problem. What's happening when you try to open the file?

Unable to open Livecycle forms even with latest plug-ins

Hi guys,
I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having difficulties and I can't understand why!
Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem is similar to this...not sure...
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

I don't have an answer. However, since your question is not about Acrobat forms, but Designer forms, you need to ask in the LiveCycle forum that deals with Desginer forms.

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date. It occur in every page when I surfing. I am aware that is a threat but when I tried to install an update of flash the userinit.dll file from windows registry had gone and I had to reset everything.

a error during the flash update might be itself an indication of malware active on the pc. the browser is your door to the web - therefore it's very important to keep it and all plugins up to date in order to keep your pc & the integrity of your personal data safe.

When I try to install some plugins I get "Can't find Internet Plug-ins folder". Friends with the same machine using the same browser can download just fine. What gives?

When I try to install a plugin in any browser on my Mac Mini or my MacBook Pro, I get a "Can't find Internet Plug-Ins folder" message. Other friends with the same machines can install the plugin just fine. We can't find any reason why the plugin won't install on mine. Any ideas out there?
Thanks,

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Below are steps I went thru w/ Yahoo. They say prob is not on their end & I must contact you.

Hello,
I understand the default font size in your Yahoo! Mail composition page
is stuck on 24. I love to help.
Based on the information within your email, I'd like to offer a few
troubleshooting steps outlined below that you can try from your
computer. After you complete each of the steps, you will want to test to
see if the issue is still present.
- Disable any Internet browser Add-ons or Plug-ins. This made no difference
- Temporarily disable any security software. This made no difference
- Delete your Internet browser Cookies and Cache. This made no difference
- Update Flash Player. This made no difference
- Ensure that JavaScript is updated and enabled in your Internet
browser.This made no difference
- Restart your Internet browser. This made no difference
- Restart your computer. This made no difference
- Temporarily switch to a different supported Internet browser. Switched from Firefox to internet explorer. Made no difference.
- Test from another computer, please include the results of this test
with any response to this email. This made no difference
- Test from another location, please include the results of this test
with any response to this email. This made no difference
-I manually reset zoom in firefox. This made no difference.
here's what Yahoo support concluded:
Thank you for working through all of the steps we outlined in our previous email. I have tried to replicate the issue that you are describing, and unfortunately, I was not able to do so. Given that I have tried everything I can, the only thing left for me is to suggest that you contact Customer Support for your browser manufacturer. They would be in the best possible position to continue troubleshooting you specific issue.

I don't know what you mean. These are emails that I am originating, not that I am receiving. Those that I receive are okay...except insofar as they reply to an email I sent out in the first place, in which case, my fonts are 24 pt (or thereabout).
Thanks for persisting!

Upgraded from 3.6 to 7 - changed nothing else - now takes 50-60 seconds to for the browser to start - works OK after that as long as I keep a window open. I then diabled all plug ins and extenstions - still 60 seconds to load browser.

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

I am unable to view google ads running alongside and under videos on YouTube. This is only a problem when I use Firefox. If I use another browser, I can see the ads. I do not have adlock as it does not appear in my plug-ins/add ons. Please help..

I have been using Firefox for about two years. For about a month now I have been unable to view any Google advertisements that run on YouTube pages alongside and under videos. This is important for my business. I would like to stay with Firefox, but this is only a problem when I use Firefox and is not a problem with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as I checked. I tried uninstalling Firefox and all plugs ins and add ons and then reinstalling it. This did not work. Firefox seems to be blocking the Google codes that enable the ads to run on the pages. I look forward to your help. Thank you.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins

FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins
I am doing several re-installs.
I installed FireFox 3.6.8 and ThunderBird 3.1.2 on a fresh install of Windows XP Home SP3 x32.
All Windows updates and IE8, etc were done first after the WinXP install.
IE8 works fine.
Firefox can connect to the internet to view webpages, but NOT do a check for a newer version.
(by going, on the main menu at the top, to Help --> Check for updates...)
Neither can Tbird.
See screenshots below.
Neither Tbird nor Firefox will complete the add-ons check nor updates nor 'Browse All Add-ons' feature.
(by going, on the main menu at the top, to Tools --> Add-ons --> Get Add-ons {upper left} or Find Updates {lower right for any of the selections})
Another computer, same 'build' (different hardware, but WinXP SP3, etc) using a connection from the same router going out to the internet works fine, so it is not an overall connection problem outside of the individually affected computer.
There is not yet any anti-virus nor firewall, etc installed that could be blocking things, except for Windows built in firewall, and there is no blocking action showing. Disabling it did not solve the issue.
6 hours of searching has not found an answer. Trying some of the search results just to see has not proven to be successful.
Thanks.

dianej,
Try this, go to tools, add-ons, extensions. if you have more than one (the latest) Java consoles, uninstall them. You only need the latest console and it should match the Java Platform in Plugins.
I had a VERY similar problem displaying weatherunderground. It would not display the pages correctly and I would get pages of errors that stated
"window.addEvent is not a function" I spent the last two hours fixing this problem. All I did was remove the 6.0.18, 6.0.19, 6.0.20 Java consoles from my 3.6.8 Firefox. After a FF restart, no more errors.
There should be more information in FF when you update Java. No one tells you that you should go in and delete the older consoles.
Good luck
Mick

Why does this keep popping up five tabs at a time: Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ - please note that I recently updated firefox and tried disabling plug-ins, etc. My virus software is up to date. Thanks.

The page listed above pops up in a Firefox browser window with five tabs open usually when checking email but sometimes while surfing the net and repeatedly. Some include a 'problem loading page' notice with the following:
Firefox can't find the server at www.xn---jca9qmb.com.
or
Firefox can't find the server at www.xn--dx%if-61a864d.com.
These are the last two of the five tabs that pop up together.
This has happened nine times in the past five to ten minutes.
Since my Norton is up to date and I have recently updated Firefox and plug-ins, I assume this is a software problem however disabling plug-ins and other items has not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
YES it does, HOWEVER in the past Most (not all) Beta auto updates did not trigger Comodo Firewall problem (BUT occasionally did) and I resolved the same way (namely uninstalling and installing a full install.
I do not know if having Aurora AND BETA both installed causes any conflicts regarding this issue
I am NOW going to uninstall Maintenance service, Beta and Aurora retaining only my add-on and preferences. I will delete all Comodo rules for them Then I will download an older update of both Beta and Aurora and see what happens
Will report back in 30 mins

When installing, get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory"

Began having problems when opening Firefox and trying to make Firefox the default browser. Windows 7 updated, AVG up-to-date and virus scans clean, MalwareBytes up-to-date and scans clean. Troubleshooting finally caused me to uninstall and try for clean install ... normal Windows 7 uninstall process successful. Made sure Firefox folder in "Program Files" was deleted. Downloaded "DownloadApp_1_7_5_198_Setup" (29,442 KB) from Mozilla website and run ... get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory. Please try again later."

Thank you guig2! Followed your bleepingcomputer.com link above and found the problem was my permissions on C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local/Temp. It was not "Full Control" for my User or Administrator. Updated the two lines to permit full control for folder, subfolder and files. Ran perfect.
