If I install FF 4, are my settings, plug-ins, add-ons, passwords, - lost ?

This seems like the obvious information to have in the introduction to any 'upgrade' document. What will I gain' seems hyped, 'what will I lose' seems ignored. I spent a year or so, gradually getting Firefox 3 amended, setup, & configured as rqd for my needs, into a comfortable tool. Will I have to suddenly stop my actual work, to re-learn how to get all the (18) plug-ins, and passwords, and add-ins, etc. re-installed and working again? or can I hope that the new install brings those forward? I have been unable to find any mention of what happens to the setup of the old version. Must I look forward to a month or two of re-solving last year's problems for the new version?

The missing word was disable, not sure what happened there.I've corrected it now.
In the compatibility list, 4.0.* means it works with 4.0, and should also work with 4.0.1, 4.0.2 etc when they are released.
Those with numbers below 4.0 will not work in Firefox 4.

  • I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for mozilla to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

    I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for firefox to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

    None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

  • If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

    If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
    For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
    If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

    hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
    thanks!

  • Flash player 11.8 successfully installed but is listed as disabled in the add-ons with no option to enable

    I cannot get flash player to work on my firefox browser. I installed the latest version of flash player on my mac several times, and it says it is installed successfully. If I look on my add-ons from the "Tools" menu, it says that Flashplayer is disabled, but with no button or option that I can see to enable it. If I try to watch a video on youtube, it says that flash is blocked for my protection. Flash is working fine on Safari and Chrome. Do you have any advice as to what I can do to get flash working on this browser? Thank you!

    I closed firefox and deleted pluginreg.dat, and then I opened firefox again and a new pluginreg.dat file appeared. The flash player still appears to be disabled when I look at my plugins though and if I go to a website that requires flash it still doesn't work.

  • Where are all the plug-ins?

    Hi
    There seem to be quite a few very experienced InDesign SDK programmers that hang around the forum.  Which leads me to my question, where are all the plug-ins you guys have been creating. Looking around, there only seems to be about 50 commercially available plug-ins, so where are the rest of them. Do companies hire programmers for in-house plug-ins is that not overkill.
    Besides all this, I understand that nobody (including myself) would want to give away secrets about what type of project they are involved in currently, but maybe some of the guys here could tell us who they worked for in the past, how long involved with InDesign SDK, and what type of plug-in they've created.
    I realize in this forum, its basically professionals and not just hobbyists, making it harder sometimes to get replies, but maybe some of you will share a little something in this faceless screen-named  avatar world.

    Hi Steven
    Many plug-ins are distributed as a part of bigger systems, i.e. CMS.  Maybe thats why you've heard only about 50 commercial plugins.

  • Are there new plug-ins for my PowerBook G-4 to allow me to see utube and other videos?

    Are there plug-ins for me to view videos and Utube videos? I am unable suddently to view either. Help!

    I did go to the website and downloaded the adobe-flash. I also read the "read me" but I'm not sure I understood exactly what to do. I removed the old flash-player in the Library/Internet Plug-ins folder and just put it on my desktop; not sure what really to do with it. Instructions said to back it up, but I don't know how to do that. Should I have trashed it??? Then I closed the browser (Firefox); reopened it and went back to the site to see if has been installed correctly (I guess no); couldn't see the video and tested it again at uTube.
    When attempting to play a uTube video, it asked me what "player". Looked in the Apps folder to see what I had: Quicktime, Real Time, and Windows Media Player. None worked. I'm still at a loss. I'm not a savvy tech person, so I might need more instruction if you're willing to help Texas Mac Man (I'm in TX, too).
    One more thing, to put in the new plug-in, I just did a drag and drop into the folder.
    What have I missed? I appreciate your help very much. This is my first time on the Support Communities.

  • What are the recommended plug-ins for HDR and Black and White?

    What HDR and Black and White plug-in software does anyone suggest for Aperture 3?

    There is a tremendous amount that can be done re: grayscale with Aperture's adjustments.  I'd look into those, first:
    - The "Black & White" Brick.  Keep the total of the percentages to 100 in order to not change the overall luminance much, but by all means play around until you understand what the sliders are doing.  Note that you can change the hues using the Color Brick (also WB, Tint, etc.), and use that to set up your conversion done with the B&W Brick.
    - The "Color Monochrome Brick.  Open up the color selector and skim the eyedropper cursor over the gray scale below the colors grid.
    - All of the Bricks which affect the luminance distribution (viz.: Exposure, Curves, H&S, Levels, etc.)
    The Nik plug-ins are universally good (they are several, including NR, B&W, and HDR tools).  (I disapprove of the engorgement of filters, many of which do similar things and none of which specify what they actually do.)  If you end up with the Nik Suite, I suggest installing it as PS plug-ins, and using PS as your external editor (with, if you're up for it, each Nik tool assigned to it's own layer).  Using more than one Nik plug-in on the same image in Aperture yields an inelegant, possibly destructive workflow.

  • 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!
    - Steve

    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.

  • What are 3rd party plug-ins?

    I always hear people talking about using 3rd party plug-ins in logic but I dont know what they are I have tried looking on the net but cant seem to get a straight answer.I know logic does not support VST plug-ins so are they just the AU plugins you can install in Logic or something completely different please can someone set me straight thanks.

    3rd party (non Apple) Plug Ins can be anything from processing effects to Software synths, samplers, romplers whatever. The AU Plug In format is what Mac's can handle without using VST wrappers. Some users do use VST Plugs with wrappers in Logic but as there are so many AU Plugs out there there is no real need to do so unless you want to use a specific Plug which is only available as an AU Plug In.
    Check the KVR Audio site, they have the best compilation of free and commercial Plug Ins on the net:

  • Adobe flash player 10.3 is installed but doesn't appear in plug-ins:what else do I need to do to play videos?

    Until a few months ago I was able to play videos in e-mails on my desktop computer, running on windows XP, through Verizon FIOS. Then I kept getting the message that I needed Adobe Flash Player 9.0. I have downloaded the latest version, Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.1, several times, getting the message from Adobe that I am now running that program. However, when I try to play a video, I still get the message that the the plug-in isn't installed, and the table of plug-ins doesn't include Adobe Flash Player. Is there something else that must be done to make the (presumably) installed program active? If so, what is it?

    Sorry, Firefox 4 is not compatible with Flash for Android.
    We're starting work to possibly support Flash for Android in a future version of Firefox. For details, see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec/Features/Plugins
