Do I need Microsoft DRM or Windows Presentation Foundation plug-ins? Status is "unknown" and Action iis "research"

The last "update" in the community on this topic was 2011... has anything changed?? Are there any updates to these plugins if we need to keep them??
As these are significant Microsoft plugins, Mozilla should know about them... not a "Research" button.

Also note that the Modified Preferences section in the System Details List shows a lot of preferences from older Firefox versions, so you can consider to delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
The three plugins in question are:
Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
(WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
Google Update Unknown ? Research
Google Update
Thank you in advance.

hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

Hi mikeinkent
Your crash report indicate a problem with the Flash plugin (NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll).
Please update Flash to the latest version.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
*http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

How can I trust Firefox as a reliable web browser when you allow companys like Microsoft install plugins like Windows Presentation Foundation with out permissio

Microsoft had installed Windows Presentation Foundation without my permission and I smoking mad. This is bull crap I don't need. My web browser is personal to me and when companies stick their dirty little fingers in my computer without my permission it really PISS ME OFF. I don't kneed a web browser that allows this CRAP!!!!!

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Windows Presentation Foundation AND BO DESKI

Hello!
Could you help us anybody.
We faced with problem when we created some project used Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications) and try to open our application and BO DeskI application simultaneously. The result: when we try to close BO DESKI this application abnormal closed..
We create test project used Windows Presentation Foundation which include only 2 standard control. And this test very simple application can not work correct with BO DeskI. If need I ready to send Visual Studio 2008 test project.
We tested this behaviour with BO XI DESKI Release 3.x SP3
Best regards
Andrey

That's interesting - thanks for the greater details.
It's helpful to rule out possible connections between your application and DeskI.
You might want to open a support case with SAP, if you need more interactive assistance. It'll be opened with the DeskI support team, since you're not using any of the SDKs.
But you may want to run Process Monitor (a tool found on Microsoft's site) to see if there's any file or registry access issues.
Another useful tool is [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip], that takes a snapshot of all dlls loaded by a process - to see if there's anything in common between your application and DeskI, and to see if DeskI loads different dlls when your application is running.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML

Hi,
I just saw a high-level presentation about Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML. I understand that one of
the advantages to using this new desktop technology is better
control over image resolution. I'm no techie, but I immediately
thought of the challenges we Captivate users have of trying to make
screenshots larger, but having them end up blurry. Will this new
technology somehow help with this problem? Thanks!
Trudie

I wouldn't think so.
AFAIK, WPF is the XML language that windows will use to
render the interfaces. Without knowing too much about it I imagine
that it will build parts/all of the Vista interface with vectors as
opposed to bitmaps which will work better for a greater number of
montiors (e.g. check out the windows XP boot splash bitmap on a
large hi res montior....ewww!). However, this will not make a
difference to resizing a captured image of the interface.
For the purposes of this discussion let's say vectors are
mathematical descriptions of what should be drawn (shape, outline,
fill, gradient, etc) while bitmaps are images with a fixed number
individually coloured of pixels/dots.
Screenshots images are generally captured in a bitmap format.
When you attempt to increase the overall dimensions of the image
your image processing software makes a guess as to what color each
pixel/dot must be in the resized image based on a sample from the
original image and that's why they tend to look blurry. The better
your software can guess/resample, then the better the resulting
image.

HT5271 Where on my mac do I find library? I am trying to fix a blocked plug in and the directions to do so say I need to go to the /library/internet plug ins (disabled) folder. no where to be found??

Where on my mac do I find library? I am trying to fix a blocked plug in and the directions to do so say I need to go to the /library/internet plug ins (disabled) folder. no where to be found??

Thank you, found it! However, my real issue is a blocked plug in. Another person was having the same issue and they where told to do this:
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
If the browser is running, quit and restart it.
Which I do not have a Internet Plug-Ins (disabled) folder? Can I just drag the Flash Player Plug In to the trash and start over? Help!!

HELP needed Indesign 2014 download lost its standard plug ins

Hi, I've just downloaded Indesign 2014 and find I don't have access privileges to the standard plug ins folder which comes with it. This means loads of bits don't work so I can't use Indesign. I'm on a monthly subscription to the Cloud so have all the correct updates/codes etc and all previous versions of Indesign (and everything else) work fine. Photoshop 2014 downloaded at the same time and has no problems. I'm on a macbook pro latest version of OS...I've uninstalled and re installed, re started my mac...no change I still have a no entry sign on my plug ins folder. Its not a third party one its the one that comes with Indesign as standard....Anyone got any ideas what to do next?
Thanks
Beci

Either you have selecte a different workspace (Window > Workspace > …) which will hide a lot of functionality or your plugins have been deleted or corrupted.
Either you have to choose a different workspace or you have to uninstall your program (use only Adobe’s uninstaller!) and install it again.

What is Windows Presentation Foundation and why is a plugin necessary?

Thank you for your willingness to listen. What is WPF? Does it do something helpful? Foxfire plugin site gives option for its plugin (of unknown origin), thus giving it some legitimacy. But some writing on Google have labeled it as a "sneaky deal" foisted on Foxfire users by Microsoft. I really must avoid crashes. I will link to Google info if you wish. (I'm updating a 256 MB memory-deficient Win XP OS in a 12-year old Compaq. There's no wiggle room to cover mistakes and bad judgments.) Beth

OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive). I also have the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key. I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Hello All,
I am a long time Xcelsius user (business side), my developers are moving towards MSFT's new platform, WPF. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience or thoughts on converting Xcelsius Dashboards to WPF?
Thanks!

ResourceDictionary is not supported in a Windows Presentation Foundation project

On an existing project, on a new machine installation of Blend + Sketchflow, I have the error where ResourceDictionary is not recognized. Maddening.

You can check your build action by selecting your resource dictionary in VS, and looking for the Build Property in the Properties Panel. However I'm thinking that may not be your culprit here. Is there any further info in your Error List besides just the
one shown in your screen shot? I don't recall exactly if a clean / rebuild wipes your obj and bin folders but ya might want to delete those too to make sure to wipe your xap's and since all that stuff is re-created each time you build you dont care if you
delete stuff in those folders anyway so couldnt hurt.

Mini hp microsoft life chat LK-3000 when plugged in want give sound and cut off speakers.?

I have a mini HP110
I have a head and mike set Microsoft Life Chat LX-3000
when its plugged in the speakers for the mini stay on
the head set has no sound.
what can be done ? Regards Ron

Just having the same issue there, which is real not fun, I have not tried to contact them, but looking at your experience I am not sure if I should.
My key comes from the back of a laptop o so I guess that would be a W7
OEM, and that could explain why you can't download a ISO from their website, would that also your case ?
Also could it be because we are attempting to get the ISO after the product became EOL ?

Need help using Waves 64bit, 3rd party plug-ins with Premiere CS5

I'm trying to install and use a bundle of 64bit 3rd party audio plug-ins from Waves in Premiere.
I am on a Mac running OS 10.9.3.
I can't figure out how to get Premiere CS5 to recognize my 3rd party Waves 9.3 bundle.
The plug-ins are listed and fly by one by one on the loading splash screen while Premiere launches. I can't find them anywhere in Premiere once it launches. Aparently both the VST and AU units work. But how? Where/how do I load the plug ins so I can access them in the audio effects folder?
thanks in advance!
Alex

i think the audio plugin manager was something new added, but i dont remember when. as im looking thru older threads at cs5, they make it sound as if premiere will just load and use what it can. when an effect doesn't show up, its usually cause premiere determined it couldn't use it. if you have the 64-bit version of premiere and 64-bit audio plugins, they should work, unless premiere has some issue with them. i think waves uses vst3 and AU (audio units)? while vst2 should work in cs5, im not sure if vst3 or au are supported until cs7. so im at a loss, unless someone else knows better. if you have access to audition, you can try to load them in there to use.
Premiere Pro CC (7.0) | Premiere Pro New Features

VST Plugins work in CS4, not in CS5

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? :/
