Does Reset Firefox retain Plug-ins? That's quite serious.

The question is exactly what I need to know.
I have some add-ons I'd like to install that appear to install but once FF is restarted, there is no evidence of them. Tab Mix Plus and NoScript are cases in point.
I had to do a system restore due to a botched application update. This left FF without TMP or NoScript, and unable to install them. I think I need to reset FF, but I WILL NOT DO SO UNTIL I KNOW MY PLUGINS ARE SAFE FROM BEING REMOVED, OR HOW GET ENOUGH INFORMATION TO REINSTALL THEM.

  • Are there QT plug-ins that Firefox/IE 7 must have?  Where?

    We were trying to set up a streaming video URL. However, what worked last year didn't work this year.
    But, then we realized that on our Windows boxes, we updated IE 7 and installed Firefox 2.0.0.1 -- but QT 7 was already installed before doing those updates.
    If we tried to access the URL, IE would say the QT plug-in was broken and Firefox would just lock up.
    So, I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime and everything worked as expected.
    So, it makes me wonder if there needs to be some kind of "order of installation" to make things work properly.
    If not, is it a question that some QT plug-in files just need to be relocated? If so, any idea what files?
    Thanks!

    Any browser plug-in should be installed so that any user and any browser can access it.
    Some browser require their own settings adjustments to "find" or use these installed plug-ins and a quit and relaunch of any open browser must occur to use newly installed plug-ins.

  • I have 10 plug ins that firefox says needs updated. When i go to get more information... I am directed to a google list, which i have no idea what to get as an update. Help Please??

    Its not that I am having any problems with the plug ins, but as I read, Plug ins that are not updated cause instability among other problems that can arise.

    Did you go to: Tools / Add-ons / Plug-ins and start the updates?

  • One NIK filter does not appear as plug-ins

    Dear All,
    I'm working with the NIK Color Efex Pro plug-ins that include a whole series of plug-ins, but one does not appear in Photoshop.  That is the Analog Pro 2 package.  I can get it to work, but I must open it separately because it won't appear in the list of filters that are listed under "Nik Collection."  I've dragged the Analog Pro 2 application into the Adobe Plug-Ins file along with the other NIK filters, but it doesn't appear to have the same .plugin or .config file name as the other files.  Anything I can do to get this plug-in to appear?  Another one that doesn't seem to appear in Photoshop is called "Selection Tool." 
    Thanks  Small Town Gal

    Yes, done all that but there is no adobe flash player listed in the add ons >plug ins site. However in the program listings on the start section adobe flash player is displayed.
    I have tried down loading it again and although I have done this from downloads and it displays as done it does not reappear in plug ins.
    The plug ins I have got listed in Tools>Add_ons>Plugins are
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
    Mozilla Default Plug in 1.0.015
    Shockwave flash 10.01.2.76
    Windows Media player Plug in dynamic link library 3.02.6.28

  • Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase?

    Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase like music and video editing software can?
    If so, where is the price chart? I need to know these things as I am concidering purchasing Photoshop.
    Thank you.

    I did look at the plug-in page quickly. I noticed the free ones and the pay ones.
    From using producing programs, some photo editing and some video editing programs: I'd rather use what is there and what is inside first. Then look at the extras. I am realizing how deep this can get. But if I bought PS or CS 5 or whatever: I would want to learn.
    I know that some plug-ins, extras, etc are their own and are highly useful. I do understand that it can take longer but in some programs you can do what a plug-in can do though it may require more steps. I'd rather learn the program and then get the short-cuts. But again some are stand alone and highly uselful - these are what I am looking for and want to know about.
    I didn't know there were so many books though, this is new information. I believe that I was told a while ago about a couple or that one comes out with a new release. I like to read and know the who, what, when, where, why and how: but most of my time should be in the program. Eg: I read my photo editing programs manuals. That was important and helped me. I need to know terms, language, some short-cuts/how-to, etc. But getting in there is way more important.
    Any more information is great. Please keep it comming. I am not getting the program in the immediate future, it's the pricing issue right now and that it's way more important for me to use what I have as I am still learning big time. Plus I have to get on my camera a lot more and draw a bit more.
    Thank you.

  • Third party plug ins that actually DON"T work

    some plug-ins that are listed in this forum as working, don't handle automation correctly. These include all arturia, and the korg legacy plug-ins. The linplugs seem to work with the automation correctly. Although I've encountered many redraw issues and bugs which are all related to automation. This has got to be the worst logic upgrade ever!!!! (I've been working with the platform since logic 3.5.3) I'm not a happy camper.

    When you say "don't handle automation correctly", what exactly do you mean?
    Do they fly off in a tantrum, or just cross their arms in a huff and refuse to do anything..?

  • Plug-ins that failed to load:     3-D NO VERSION

    After installing PS CS5X on my new Win 7-64 system, I get this message when I open PS64bit:
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       3-D NO VERSION -  - from the file “3-D.8bf”
    I haven't tried anything in the 3-D arena in PS-64bit yet.
    I can't find any reference to this in searching.
    Appreciate any suggestions to resolve.
    Thanks,
    RON C

    Hi Ron,
    I'm pretty sure this is a third party plug-in that is not 64-bit compatible. Did you copy any old plug-ins to your CS5 install, or point the Alternate plug-ins pref. to a directory of plug-ins? Try launching the 32-bit version of Ps and then go to Help> About Plug-In to see what third party plaug-ins are there.
    regards,
    steve

  • Plug-ins that failed to load   NO VERSION

    I am trying to release a 64bit version of Windows plugin.
    I get the following issue when Photoshop CS4 64bit starts.
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       Correct NO VERSION -  - from the file “PTFilters.8BF”
       Extract NO VERSION -  - from the file “PTFilters.8BF”
       Insert NO VERSION -  - from the file “PTFilters.8BF”
       Perspect NO VERSION -  - from the file “PTFilters.8BF”
       Remap NO VERSION -  - from the file “PTFilters.8BF”Flash:
       Connections
       Kuler
    The 32bit version loads fine. In a single file I have 5 plugins.  Each with its own entry point and PiPl and aete resource.
    Are there other chagnes to the resource file besides the following needed?
                #if defined(_WIN64)
                    CodeWin64X86 { "PluginMainCorrect" },
                #else
                    CodeWin32X86 { "PluginMainCorrect" },
                #endif
    On the 32bit version if I choose Help | About Plugin ... on any one of them I get 5 request to display an about box. Is there something I can do to prevent this besides creating 5 seperate files?
    Jim

    The reason for the plugins failing to load on 64bit was I forgot add a Preprocessor define of _WIN64
    Still getting 5 request to dispay the about box .  Is this a PS bug?

  • How can I delete plug-ins that I do not want then anymore?

    how can I delete plug-ins that I do not use anymore?

    Uninstall them by deleting them from the Library:
    The plug-ins usually are installed in the Applications Support Folder -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins, either in your your User Library or in the System Library:
    your home folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/

  • Can everyone list the plug-ins that aren't working in 10.4.9 here?  Thanks

    I'm about to start the biggest project of my life and am very tentative to upgrade to 10.4.9 due to some of those who are having issues w/it.
    I thought it would be a good idea to list all of the plug-ins that aren't working w/10.4.9 for those who still haven't upgraded yet. That way, we can have a heads up before we take the plunge

    It has a lot of other Supposed fixes . I guess most of you agree they are not that vital ?
    The 10.4.9 Update is recommended for PowerPC and Intel-based Mac computers currently running Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.8 and includes general operating system fixes, as well as specific fixes or compatibility updates for the following applications and technologies:
    - RAW camera support
    - Handling of large or malformed images that could cause crashes
    - Image capture performance
    - Mouse scrolling and keyboard shortcuts
    - Font handling
    - Playback quality, and bookmarks in DVD Player

  • Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

    Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

    This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
    Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Does anyone know of good epublishing plug-ins that would allow me to stick with CS6?

    Hi,
    Could someone please tell me what the best epublishing plug-ins are for ID CS6? I want to avoid using the cloud and would still like to have ebook tools available if it ever becomes a big business for me at some point. I vaguely remember hearing about some ebook plug-ins once but I didn't take note of them at the time.

  • I have a few plug-ins that obviously are not compatible with FF 8. I even tried updating the Picasa 3 plug-in, and it still says it's not updated?

    I have 5 plug-ins I'm having problems with.
    Shockwave Flash
    Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1 ( Apparently they don't even have a Windows Vista update for 64 bit systems? Only Windows 7)
    Windows Presentation Foundation
    Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) plug-in for Mozilla browsers
    Picasa
    Picasa plugin
    Google Earth Plugin
    GEPlugin
    Google Update
    Google Update

    Those are all third-party Add-ons to Firefox and those are handled differently in Firefox 8.
    *Start with --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Add-ons%20are%20disabled%20after%20updating%20Firefox
    *'''''Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)''''' comes from the installation of Microsoft's .NET

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:

    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    *'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.

  • STP v2.01 quits at start up with some 3rd plug-ins that are ok with Logic.

    Installed Logic Studio exactly two weeks ago. The main focus has been on Logic Pro.
    Haven't used them yet, but MainStage, and WaveBurner open without any problems.
    Today is the first time I tried to open SoundTrack Pro. It quit while scanning audio units plug-ins.
    Out of desparation, I created an "unused components" file and dragged all AU plugs to this folder.
    STP opened ok with just the Logic plug-ins.
    So I started the process of systematically adding a few AU plugs back into the components folder. All PSP and RND plugs seemed ok with STP. Beyond that, I realized that some, but not all of the various others (UAD, TC PowerCore, etc) would work. I could spend all night driving myself crazy making a list of what does and does not work with STP.
    All of my audio plugins work with Logic Pro 8, DP 5.1.2, and DSP-Quattro!
    Please help.
    I was hoping to use STP as my audio file mastering program.

    Long story short.... the problem was TC Powercore plug-ins. In particular, the Assimilator.
    I was able to gradually add back all AU plug-ins to the Components folder without any problems opening STP.
    I hope this helps others.
