How do I removew the extranneous plugin?

I deactivated the Adobe PDF plugin, but I do not know how to remove it. I did not (to my knowledge) ever install it, and the plugins are set to update themselves. I hope that deactivating the older plugin will solve the problem, which I still have no idea came from where.

The page is always the same: CNN.COM. I first noticed this problem several months ago. It went away for a while, then returned last week. Coincidentally, it reappeared right after I installed an update to Firefox.
On other browsers, what appears near that box is a video advertising, most recently, the Acura TLX brand of new car. However, the video does not block any of the CNN home page on other browsers. It pushes the rest of the page downwards, runs for a few seconds, then minimizes. It appears to me that Firefox is not able to properly handle the Shockwave Flash that is trying to run.
Here is the HTML that I believe is the offender:

  • Fedora 13: After upgrading from FF3.6 to FF6.0.2 I no longer have a Java plugin. How do I configure the Java Plugin for FF 6 ? There is no Java Plugin at the site

    At the Plugin area in FF6 there is no Java Plugin available, even after a search.

  • How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?
    i had no problem to install under windows XP, but i do not know how and where to install the windows profiles and i am not sure, if i habe just ro move the .8bi file to the directory plugins/file formats.
    can anyone, please, explain me how to install the plugin into the 64bit and 32bit versions of photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    Thanks for the response. Photomerge.jsx, and stack scripts only are in the scripts folder. However, I had to put them in there from cs3. Now I can get the photomerge window to open (still the cs3 version) but after I select the photos and hit ok nothing happens. I have been comparing the presets in cs3 to see what I am missing in cs4, but I cant find the missing files.

  • How do I disable the "some plugins are out of date" message

    I am running firefox 3.6.3 on a powerpc mac laptop. There are no more upgrades to either firefox or any of the plugins it is using. It's a powerpc and the current updates of the plugins all require an intel based mac. I constantly get the message "some plugins used by this page are out of date" message above the screen, or Firefox disables plugins because it says they are a security risk. I don't care. This is an old computer that would work fine if Firefox would just stop trying to upgrade either itself or its plugins, or try to warn me about something that can't be upgraded and that I don't care about. MAC rule number one: The user is in charge. How do I fix this annoying and PC like feature?
    In the future if Firefox is going to continue to have this "feature" it should keep track of what kind of computer it is running on and what what updates can and can not run on the computer it is running on, or give the user the option of turning off not only the messages but the whole plugin update function.

    What is meant in to open the "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" window (the about:addons page doesn't exist in Firefox 3.6.x)
    You can inspect and modify some prefs on the about:config page to suppress the plugin reminder.

  • How do I remove the flickr plugin in lightroom 3

    I'm trying lightroom 3 at the moment, but I can't seem to remove the flickr plugin. It's rather an eye-sore in the UI, and since I don't want to use it (after all, who decided that every person in the world uses flickr?) I want it gone. However, going to the plugin management, I can't remove it, and I can't disable it either, despite it being a "plugin", and not a baked-in program feature. I can "hide" it in the UI, which is a decent intermediary solution, but it doesn't solve the fact that there's a mystery plugin installed that I can't remove. (and I hate adobe's tendency to put stuff on my HD I didn't ask for, nor would have consented to if asked)
    So: how do I uninstall and remove this plugin?

    Hmm, Not being familiar with MacOS's package management, I have no idea where to even look for what you describe in Windows. There's only in-program plugin management, using file -> plugin manager (In this manager I can disable the plugin, but not remove it), and there's the Windows "programs and features" control, which is Windows' installed package manager, but it only offers me the option to repair or uninstall all of lightroom, but not individual parts of it.

  • How do I disable the java plugin?

    I have already done
    -tools->Internet options->Advanced
    - unchecked 'use java2 1.4.2_04 for < applet> (requires restart)'
    - checked Microsoft VM java console enabled (requires restart)
    - reinstalled the MS JVM (MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d)
    - set my class ID to
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"> which is supposed to be for MS
    Every time I run the applet, the java plugin console appears with 1.4.2_04 version running.
    what else can I do?

    I created my applet using 1.4 and I want to be sure that it works for people without the plugin. Applet tags alone cause a gray box, while Object tags work but seem to invoke the plugin.
    Also is there a way to check the highest JVM/ plugin version needed for my applet? I don't want to have to manually thumb through javadocs for each object in each file to check when it first appeared. I also don't want to have to download each environment and try to compile the applet.
    Thanks.

  • How can we install the Java Plugin from the html page

    Hi,
    I am using java plugin 1.3.1_02 for my applet pages.
    How can I install that plugin in the client machine without installing manually.
    I used,
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    width="600" height="400" align="middle"

    <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
    </OBJECT>
    But it is downloading java plugin 1.3.1_03.
    Can anybody help me
    Thanks & Regards
    Raja

    Using object tags is the correct way and only way to download the plugin and let the client decide whether he can download it r not. There is no way to install automatically
    I dont think there is a way to install automatically without a user intervention coz, it can open the floodgates for potential hackers.
    Can u cite an example about which programs can be installed automatically and why do u want the plugin to be installed automatically?

  • How do I install the ScriptListener plugin for PS CC 2014 on Mac?

    photoshop I've downloaded the Mac version of the plugin ScriptListener but the instructions provided are for Windows only. I copied the plugin to the Plug-ins folder and restarted Photoshop but the plugin doesn't show up under Extensions. I have tried rebooting but it's still not showing up. Is it compatible with CC 2014?

    Mac
    Unzip Scripting Plug-In Release.dmg.
    After you unzip the package, you will see three folders: Documents, Sample Scripts and Utilities. Drag the Utilities folders to the Applications\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins\ or the  Applications\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins\ folder.
    After restarting Photoshop, the plug-in begins recording your activity. To view the result, find on your Desktop the "ScriptingListenerJS.log" file and open it with any text processor.
    Please, note that the only way to stop recording is to uninstall the "ScriptListener" plug-in.

  • How do I view the installed plugins?

    Pardon my ignorance, I'm totally new to Safari for Windows. When I googled for this, the link said to choose Help, Installed Plugins. Yet when I choose Help, I do not see any dropdown for "Installed Plugins"? I'm using the latest version of Safari and wonder if the instructions I found via google were dated and apply to earlier versions of Safari. Anyway, I cannot find any such "installed plugins" dropdown menu in Help! Please help, thanks ..

    I'm not seeing that; this is all I see:

    Hmmm, I'm wondering if I have to go to a page like this:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html
    and actually download some plugins? I thought when I installed iTunes (latest version) and Java, etc. - that those installers would automatically put plugins into Safari the way they do into other browsers (Opera, IE, Firefox).
    But my copy of Safari got added later by an iTunes update, so maybe that's what I'm missing? I'll try manually installing some of these plugins ..
