I get message "a plugin is necessary to display this content"

As a result, I'm looking at large grayed out areas that I assume are videos which I cannot view. I have done many searches to figure out what plugin to add. Part of the problem is that while my HTC Thunderbolt's screen is larger than most, it's still difficult to do exhaustive searching. I have Flash Player but reading tells me that Firefox doesn't support that. Under a related question, I used their example of http://ditzy.com.mortgagerefinance (that's just a close recall of address) but it successfully showed the gray box. That was where I first put this question but was corrected & told to start a new question. Here it is! I have added picture viewing apps, everything recommended following searches. I should have made a list of those additions that have made no difference. I think it may be a Java issue & need to address that issue. That's enough to start on. Hope you can help as this is driving me crazy. Bye,S

These are most likely Flash videos, and you are right, Firefox for android doesn't support Flash, yet. However, with the release of Firefox for Mobile Version 13, Flash will be fully supported (along with a ton of other awesome features).

When I try to display .pdf file in browser (with proprietry extension .dnax) I get the error message "A plugin is needed to display this content".

I am trying to display a .pdf file within Firefox on a Vista PC. I have changed the extension from .pdf to .dnax to differentiate this .pdf file from others. I get an error message as above.
The file is displayed using Firefox on another PC with a Linux OS without problem.
Any advice out there?

Firefox typically judges the nature of a document or download based on the content-type header send by the web server. Usually a server has a catalog associating file extensions with content types. When you choose a new file extension, the server may send the generic "it's some kind of binary file" header ("application/octet-stream") which Firefox will not associate with a particular program.
Now, when you open a file from the local system, there is no web server, so Firefox may look to the file extension to ascertain the content type. Obviously that is not working in your case. What happens when you want to open the file from My Computer or Windows Explorer? Does Windows have an application assigned to it? If you can associate it with Adobe Reader in Windows, Firefox may be able to pick that up from the Windows registry.

Error "a plugin is needed to display this content" for embedded Google map, but no plugin identified.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.
The page is here:
http://osiama.org/lodges#
The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

I'm not sure why, but the site uses <embed> for the map instead of <iframe>.
When Firefox wants to render an <embed>, it needs to know what type of object is being embedded, and the site doesn't supply that information, so you see a generic "I don't know how to handle this" error.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick workaround for you as the end user. If you are the type to tinker, you can manually edit the code of the page in the web console as follows:
* right-click the plugin message and choose Inspect Element (Q) - the web console will open to the Inspector, with the <embed> element selected (screen shot #1)
* double-click embed and edit it to iframe, then press Enter to finish the edit
* Firefox will now load the map (screen shot #2)
This isn't a general fix-all for plugin errors, and ultimately the site will need to change this.

"A plugin is needed to display this content", how do I get my computer to do this?

I am trying to open a video file for my online class. When I click on the file, a gray box appears and reads "a plugin is needed to display this content". How do I get my computer to open the video. I have a MAC and zero knowledge of how to fix problems on it.

Hmm, it depends on the type of video.
Does Firefox offer a link to search for the plugin? That may lead to some useful information.
If not, is the page available for viewing without logging in? If so, you could paste the address here for a volunteer to take a look.
In case the site uses video compatible with Windows Media Player, or in anticipation of coming across such a site sooner or later, you may need to install a plugin for Mac that can play Windows Media. Microsoft offers a couple of options on this page:

Hide "A plugin is needed to display this content" box

Since a few versions, the grayish "A plugin is needed to display this content" box is displayed independently of the z-index of the actual plugin. Since FF24 this rectangle now additionally has become opaque, so it completely covers the complete web site content.
This is a huge problem for me as I have to look at web sites using plugins that are not available for FF and I cannot read the actual content anymore, even though the web page is written in a way that the plugin is only shown as some kind of background image.
Is there any way to remove this gray box or at least put this box in the background where it should be according to the DOM?

Do you have Adobe Shockwave/Flash Player installed on your computer?

Movie files (.mov) do not display "a plugin is needed to display this content"

Mac user. Movie files (.mov) do not display "a plugin is needed to display this content". What plug-in is required and where can I find it?

Aha, you already have QuickTime. Unfortunately, Firefox didn't find it. Can you try the method described in this thread (deleting a file and having Firefox re-generate it) and see whether it works for you?

"A plugin is needed to display this content"

I saw a a previous post with a similar problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1008744?esab=a&as=aaq) , but it's not for the same sort of content, and the answers did not help me.
I'm trying to view a virtual tour on a website, and I don't know why it's not showing up, but it does if I view it directly.
There is absolutely no indication as to //what// plugin is missing, and where I can get it.

Some of the attachments were only a couple of typed pages. I saved them as pdf format so receiver could read. The pdf file would not attach. Program gave message file to large for attachment to e-mail. Perhaps I am not doing correct procedure to attaching a file to an e-mail. I tried typing the document and saving it in pdf format to the desktop. Opened the e-mail on Safarii - typed a quick message and then tried to drop /drag attachment from desktop to e-mail. Up pops the stupid message. Would someone give me the step by step procedure for adding attachments to an e-mail being sent via Safari. Also is there a way to send large files as an attachment.

So here i am linking Q1 query with Q2 by Customer_ID data link. But after doing the same , i am getting message. Moreover, when i am running my report , my q2 query runs for all customer_id , which i already hardcoded in Q1 query.
Please help on this issue.
