Repeat:  My post disappeared; Firefox plugins directory

I am running Fedora 10 KDE. There are shoddy instructions at the following Web page
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#enable
to supposedly show me how to enable and configure Java on my machine for Firefox. The problem is that I can't complete the first step because there is no "plugins" directory for my installation of Firefox. Should I create one or is there something else I am missing?
Thank you,
theAdmiral

  • Where's the plugin directory on firefox 3.6.13 on librix?

    I can't find the plugin directory to install plugins

    Firefox can find plugins in various places. One of them is the plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Determining_plugin_directory_on_Linux
    You have other plugins installed, so you can see the path of them on the about:plugins page if you first set the pref <b>plugin.expose_full_path</b> on the about:config page.<br />
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).<br />
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • Are Java and Flash (or any plugin; as a matter of fact) supported on Linux Firefox 8? I don't see any lib or plugins directory in the install directory.

    I don't see any plugin support on installing Linux Firefox 8 tar.bz2 package. I've tried symlinking libnpjp2.so and libflashplayer.so to the isntall directory but Firefox doesn't seem to recognize those. I don't find any mention of disabling plugin support (Java and Flash specifically) on Firefox 8 release notes. Is anybody else facing this issue?

    Thanks. Creating a "plugins' directory inside the profile directory, and putting symlinks to plugin files inside the directory solved the problem

  • Cannot enable flash in Firefox 8.0.1 under linux x64, as there is no "plugins" directory

    I'm trying to add the adobe Flash Plugin to Firefox 8.0.1 under 64 bit linux but the "plugin" directory where you used to copy the "libflashplayer.so" file has dissapeared.
    I have installed the latest "flash-plugin" rpm from Adobe (flash-plugin-11.1.102.55-release.x86_64) and this contains the libflashplayer.so file but I cannot get firefox to recoginise its presence.
    I also tried copying the "libflashplayer.so" file to my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory but this also failed to work

  • Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months: Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working. Hundreds of people posted but there is NO SOLUTION!

    "Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working."
    Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months?
    And Why is there not any answer to how to fix it that an Ordinary Person can do, without a MS degree in computer science?
    I had this problem in Firefox 3.6.8 and then just downloaded version 3.6.12, the latest one, but it still happens constantly:
    Hundreds of people posted in June 2010 and now the help section says: "This Question is Closed" message is at the bottom,
    But there is NO SOLUTION!

    This file seems to offer as many issues as problems it's supposed to solve.
    Fix your problem in 20 seconds, 15 if you copy and paste the 2 strings below:
    - Open a new tab in Firefox
    - Type "about:config" in the Address Bar (without the quotes)
    - Click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    - Type "dom.ipc" in the Filter field on top of the page
    - 6 lines of parameters should appear, ignore the first and the last ones
    - Double-click on the 4 lines in the middle to change their value to "False"
    - Close the tab, close Firefox, restart Firefox

  • I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

    I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
    I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
    Help!!!!!

    The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
    Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

  • Adobe reader plugin missing from firefox plugins list on redhat 6.1

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with putting adobe reader 9 plugin installed on firefox 3.6.17 on redhat 6.1 (64bit)
    (Not recreatable on redhat 5.4 with same versions of reader and firefox)
    Even though nppdf.so appears in the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory with 755 permissions,
    when I start firefox, it is missing from the plugins list.
    How can I ensure it is properly installed or what steps can I take to debug the problem deeper?
    Thanks!!

  • The Firefox plugin page said I needed to install a new plugin for Shockwave Flash, but after doing the installation I checked back to see if the installation took place and the "action" column still says "update now" and potentially vulnerable."

    After downloading the new version of Shockwave
    flash the message in the box said the download was completed; however, the information on the Firefox plugin page keeps saying "potentially vulnerable" and "update now" as though no download took place. I repeated the download 2 more times and got the same results.

    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    # Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
    # Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
    Update the [[Java]] and [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

  • I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

    I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • Od wersji 20.01 w Firefox nie działa Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin. Po aktualizacji FF strony proszą mnie o zainstalowanie tej wtyczki. Jak to naprawić?

    Witam wszystkich.
    Od aktualizacji Firefoxa z wersji 20.0.1. do 21.0 dręczy mnie problem wtyczki Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    Po aktualizacji Firefoxa strony proszą mnie o zainstalowanie tej wtyczki tak jakby jej wcale nie było a przecież tą wtyczkę mam już od jakiegoś czasu zainstalowaną i korzystałem z niej.
    Firefox aktualizację przeszedł bez błędów, nie było żadnych niezgodności dodatków lecz mimo tego wtyczka, którą mam zainstalowaną w systemie nie widnieje w Dodatki---> Wtyczki.
    Naprawiałem wiele razy tą wtyczkę, skanowałem system na obecność wirusów, przeinstalowałęm Firefoxa kilka razy, szukałem w regułach zabezpieczeń czy mi czesem coś tej wtyczki nie blokuje.
    Wyszukałem na dysku pliki "npdsplay.dll" i "np-mswmp.dll" są w systemie.
    Pierwszy z nich w:
    C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player
    a drugi w:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
    ....właśnie przed chwilką wpadłem na rozwiązanie problemu. Trzeba zawartość folderu "Plugins" w lokalizacji:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    skopiować do:
    C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player.
    ...W takim razie nie będę już kończył tego pytania ale mam inne do twórców Firefox:
    Po co wy do diabła tak kombinujecie z tym nowymi wersjami? Następnym razem też będę musiał jakieś pliki przenosić gdzieś bo coś nie będzie mi po aktualizacji działać?
    Kiedyś nie było tylu aktualizacji i było lepiej ...a teraz co? Aktualizacje częste ale wiele jest z nimi problemu. Niezgodności wtyczek są z pewnością utrapieniem wielu użytkowników.
    Poprawcie się, bo inaczej większość zwieje na Chrome.
    Pozdrawiam.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Sites w/ .pdf or .ashx documents as the full page or as an insert in the page don't load the .pdf or .ashx documents - I get an Problem Report window that says "Firefox Plugin Process quit unexpectedly"

    Sites w/ .pdf or .ashx documents as the full page or as an insert in the page don't load the .pdf or .ashx documents - I get an Problem Report window that says "Firefox Plugin Process quit unexpectedly" and sends the error to Apple so I have had to revert to Firefox 3 getting rid of 4.

    OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
    I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
    But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!

  • QuickTime as a FireFox Plugin?

    Whenever I try to access certain sites in FireFox, a window pops up saying that I need to install QuickTime as a plugin. Usually, FireFox will find and download plugins automatically. However, for some reason I have to install it manually, but have no idea of how to do so. If anyone knows how to install FireFox plugins manually, please help. Thanks.
    HP Windows XP Pro

    Have a look at http://www.msiwisdom.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=2
    If you deploy QuickTime and you want to use it from within Firefox, you will get a notification about a missing Firefox plugin. This is QuickTime related. You can solve it manually by going into Control Panel, QuickTime, click on the Browser Tab, MIME settings and then click on 'Use Defaults' the integration is available after you restart Firefox. What this option does is copying a couple of QuickTime related files into your Firefox program files directory:
    c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    and
    c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin.dll
    c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin2.dll
    c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin3.dll

  • Can't find plugins directory when installing Native Instruments Komplete

    Hi - I recently tried to install Native Instruments Komplete and the installation stops with a message saying that 'setup could not find your browser's plugins directory - click browse and locate the plugins directory - to install to this directory click install - you may install the plugin into a different directory but the plugin may not work properly with your browser. The default directory that it shows me (presumably the one it can't find?) C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash.
    I went to Native Instruments with this problem, but they have told me to go to Adobe saying that, 'The error message you are receiving is related to the Flash Player and not to the NI installation - so please contact Adobe for assistance with this.'
    Can anyone help please? Thanks! (I'm running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) with Service Pack 1)

    Hi Pete,
    I would have expected Flash Player to be installed with the Suite, but I don't think it will hurt to install it again (in fact, you'll get the most up to date version if you haven't upgraded recently.)
    Flash Player on windows comes in two flavors.  One is an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer, the other is a plugin for all other browsers.  One thing to note, if you're on a 64 bit machine the directory for the Flash Player files will be different than a 32 bit install.  Here's where you typically find them:
    32 bit: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
    64 bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

  • I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

    the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

    I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.
