Java update and real player update not compatable with firefox 6 on Windows 7. Will they still function right?

When i opened firefox today , there were updates but when it tried to update it came back that java and real player updates were not compatable with my firefox. I have Firefox 6. Will these 2 programs still work all right if they are not updated?
I'm sorry I don't know what installed plugins I have. After putting in search it says I have Java 6 Standard Edition Update 26. I have Real Player(tm)(win32), Version 14.0.4 652. Hope that is enough information

I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.

  • Everytime firefox updates I loose my Blue Mountain access. the pop-up reads Create & print plug-in could not install because it is not compatable with firefox 4.0.1

  • I purchased Illustrator 8.0 on ebay and apparently it is not compatable with windows 7, is there anything I can do to use this program?

    I purchased illustrator 8.0 on ebay and apparently it is not compatible with windows 7.  Is there anything I can do to use this program?

    Beverly,
    Yes.
    You may need to run the computer in XP mode to install it (you may try in normal mode first). Here is how:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
    Once installed, you should be able to get it to run with the PC in normal mode as follows (first run):
    1) RightClick the shortcut;
    2) Click Properties;
    3) Click Compatibility;
    4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
    5) Start AI8.
    After that, you can just DoubleClick the shortcut.
    Hopefully, you bought it legally (with a genuine, non registered serial number, or had a licence transfer).

  • I'm trying to reload the google toolbar but I get a message that it's not compatable with Firefox 5.0. Not true! I have both on my laptop. Help!

    I lost my google tool bar for no reason. When I try to reload it I'm told that it's not compatible with firefox 5.0

    Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
    The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.<br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
    Google Labs has been working on a GTB 8 version, but it looks like it isn't made for Firefox - just for Internet Explorer. <br />
    http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1111588#toolbar_info <br />
    So, maybe Google isn't going to be supporting Firefox any longer. That might be a move to force Google Toolbar users over to Google Chrome, which I believe has all those features built-in.

  • Ff 26 just installed an update and now downloads do not appear in the download window.

    I've tried several solutions recommended to people who had this problem in prior versions but none of them work. It does not matter whether I display downloads in a separate window or sidebar. The downloads are actually happening in the background (when I open windows explorer the file is listed in the folder) and the download window is there, but nothing about the file or its status appears in the window.
    I use Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 open in a sidebar but the problem persists when I have downloads open in a separate window.

    I was using the add-on Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 rather than the native FF download manager and just discovered that Tweak will not work with FF 26. The Tweak download window stays blank even if files are downloading. When I downloaded and re-installed FF 25.0.1 my downloads showed up in my download window again as they always did before the upgrade to FF 26.
    Can the Mozilla FF team track down what caused this problem and correct it so that Tweak will work again or at least contact the provider of Tweak to try to find a fix?

  • I use Zoom Text as I am visually impaired and it is not compatable with Firefox 4. I need to go back to the earlier version of Firefox until this is handled by Zoom Text. How do I do that? Thanks, David

    I asked Zoom Text about this and this is what they had to say.
    "What is the specific version of ZoomText 9.1 you are using (In ZoomText click on Help -> About ZoomText -> Version)? Unfortunately the newer are supporting HTML5, Direct2D and other new hardware acceleration technologies designed to increase the speed and performance of web browsers. These new technologies bring new challenges for accessibility programs like ZoomText. More specifically, these technologies will have crippling adverse effects on ZoomText?s xFont, tracking and screen reading features.
    Therefore, at this time we are advising ZoomText users not to install or upgrade to Internet Explorer 9, as doing so will result in a loss of ZoomText functionality within Internet Explorer, and possibly a decrease in personal productivity. We do want to assure you that we are working on overcoming these problems and will provide a solution as quickly as possible.
    The other web browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera we do not have support for. The Firefox 4 with ZoomText you should have decent support for but not full support for it but you do have to have the updated version of ZoomText 9.19.1 and do the following as well http://www.aisquared.com/knowledge_base/more/zoomtext_with_firefox_4_loss_of_xfont/ for Firefox 4.
    You are best to use IE 8 or 7 now or Firefox 3 or you can try 4. Thanks."
    I am running the latest version of Zoom Text abnd the latest version of Firefox. I have done the "fix" suggested here but it had short lived relief if any. My preferred solution is to go back to running Firefox 3 until Zoom Text works around your new software updates.
    Hint: You would make a whole lot of visually impaired folks on this planet real happy if you got together with the Zoom Text people and worked this out in a lickity-split fashion.
    Thanks,
    David

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

  • Flash does not work with Firefox following Windows Vista update 14/5/2014.

    Flash still works with IE9. I've carried out all steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html, i.e. twice updated Flash to V13.0.0.214 (previously V13.0.0.206), activated Firefox Flash add-on, deleted browser data and cache and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing fixes it! Vista SP2, Firefox 29.0.1.

    Apologies for vague "does not work" from me - and sorry for delay replying. What I understand to be "rich media content" did not display. For example, all text and images in this screen clip from www.metoffice.gov.uk appeared as a single blank grey rectangle. In other websites links displayed in a basic underlined font instead of rich formatted text/images, or video and audio links were completely missing from an otherwise fully rendered webpage.
    However in the last hour Firefox has starting behaving properly again without any further diagnostic efforts from me! For six days some graphics and links have not displayed in Firefox, yet IE9 has behaved perfectly. This has happened a few times before, normal service being restored (in hours rather than days) either by updating the Flash plug-in or for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts in case of future re-occurrences would be appreciated. Thanks Pat for your time and help.

  • Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

    I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
    I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...
    My operating system: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I just saw this posted to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup in the topic,<br>
    [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/f381fb349c4d109d/69bef0011240e600?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8 Windows Media Player will not install in Firefox 4] <br>
    ''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''
    <br>..... so try [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to see if a Firefox extension is conflicting with the WMP Firefox plugin.

  • Why is the latest version of Firefox not compatable with the Google toolbar? Will it ever be or do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

    My Google toolbar was deleted when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. It will not re-load because it is not compatible. Is this problem with Google or with Firefox? Will it be fixed soon, or will I have to go back to Internet Explorer?

  • Will Real Player plug in work with Firefox 6 ?

    I currently use Firefox 4 and the Real Player works perfectly, I am being asked to upgrade to Firefox 6 but fear the Plug in will not work. Can you advise me

    I'm going back to ver 3.6xxx. Firefox/Mozilla is into this new version every 3 day BS. WTF? Have started using Chrome almost exclusively. Maybe Firefox is doing this on purpose... they'll just cede it all over to google. It's hell bein' poor and hired out...

  • Update of 10.4.9 not compatable with audio interface

    the update of 10.4.9 from 10.4.8 made my audio interface (m-audio 410 firewire) undetectable. is it a good idea to reistall the original software into my macbook? how does this effect my software (logic pro 7, iomega harddrive)? should i remove my software first?
    any recommendations greatly appreciated

    After going through this another hour I was able to get it to the login screen and now my websites are back up. At this point I am afraid to fully login.
    What worked, not sure if it had anything to do with it was I was able to hold down option and then select the second drive. It then either rebooted like it was supposed to or it did the same thing and died and reboot, hard to tell actually.
    Is there cases of the drive volumes getting changed or something like this? I was counting the last 10 restarts, between 5 and 15 seconds before it rebooted. Usually it didn't seem like it had any time for the OS booting to get started.
    please help if you have seen this if there is anything I should do?
    For the time being while it is up, I am going to update my new server, my second server and set it up.
    thanks.

  • Flash player 10 Not working with firefox Please Help

    I have posted here before and for some reason flash player is still not working.  I haven't been able to get on any of my fb games because of this.  When I go to
    play any games it loads the pic then it fades to a white screen, when Ieft click on the mouse it shows a grey box that states Movie not loaded or Adobe flash player 10.
    Here is some of the files from my Macromedia
    FlashInstall
    flashplayer.xpt
    FlashUtil10l_Plugin
    NPSWF32.dll
    FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
    If you have any suggestion please help it would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure if you will receive this, Tonyae, but my ability to reply in
    that thread appears to have been disabled.  It says below that I can reply
    to this email and you will get it so hopefully that's true.
    I don't know how or why, but things are working again for me.  I uninstalled
    / reinstalled Firefox and Flash countless times.  I disabled Java, which
    someone had suggested in another thread.  Nothing was working.  I had
    restarted Firefox after every installation, but all of my attempts were
    futile.  Finally, I restarted my laptop and it worked - I can finally watch
    videos on my computer again.  (I know I should have tried that much earlier
    in the process.) Very relieving to say the least.  I'm sorry you're still
    having trouble because I know how frustrating it was.
    If you receive this, I know I haven't offered much but I would highly
    recommend restarting your computer after every change you make.  Keep
    plugging away and one of them will hopefully work.  Good luck!
