The firefox plugin checker is not working, how can I fix it?

I just updated the Adobe Flash Player and now the "Plugin Checker" starts but nothing happens. I did notice an active buffering circle, but it went on for several minutes with no results. I am on a laptop using Windows 7 - Pro, and the latest Firefox (34.0.5) and a OK internet connection.

No problem, saneman. Looks like you are very "sane" after all. :D The problem is on Mozilla's side (I confirmed with a developer) and they are having an issue with the plugin check page finding the correct version number. It seems after every Java update they have this problem.
There is a bug filed on the issue and I'm told it's being worked on. So I will check on it from time to time.
But I wish they would just remove Java version checking from that page for Mac users (as it seems the problem is more complicated for Mac users than Windows users) so Mac users would not be confused by this. I'd like them to just provide a link every time to the Oracle page that has the latest Java plugin for Mac regardless of what version number you have. That would be a WAY better solution than this broken situation we have now.

  • The firefox plugin checker is not working, how do I fix it?

    Firefox is not updating my Java Applet after install. I erased the pluginreg.dat file and that did not help. I have a screenshot showing that it is working and installed, from oracle.

    My iphone 5 camera is not working how can i fix this problem ?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

  • Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

    I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

    I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
    Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
    As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

  • Speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?

  • Mozillar Firefox Plugin Check & Updates not working in version 26 or version 28

    My desktop operating system is Windows XP SP3. I had updated to Firefox version 28, but due to Bug 985968 I uninstalled the same and reinstalled version 26 manually. Now https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ does not work while going to the same via Add-ons Manager under Tools. It just keeps searching & searching and wasting a lot of time. Starting Google is also very, very, slow. Very, very frustrating. Firefox is set as my default browser.

    Hello gspal, for me it is better to upgrade to latest firefox version (28.0), and forget the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=985968 Bug 985968], it is only the Java plugin with the error when you check with [https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ plugincheck], we all have the same issue till the bug is fixed. But think, that 26.0 firefox is vulnerable now and in the newest firefox [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&f1=target_milestone&f2=cf_status_firefox28&f3=target_milestone&j_top=OR&o1=anywords&o2=anywords&o3=equals&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&v1=mozilla28&v2=fixed%2Cverified&v3=Firefox%2028&order=bug_id&limit=0 most bugs from 26 and 27 versions are fixed].
    thank you

  • My Norton tool bar No longer is visable and does not work, how can I fix this

    My Norton 360 that saves all my passwords for me does not work on fire fox 4.0. How can I go back to the previous version? I was not given a warning that Norton 360 wouldn't work until after I had already down loaded 4.0, or I would not have downloaded it!
    I did not know that the tool bar was going to disappear!

    Norton says they are going to update 360 in April for the Firefox 4.0.
    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

    Did you already try to reset the iPod?
    How to reset an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
    If the above step did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

  • My twitter app worked perfectly fine before the update and now it wont work, how can i fix this?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have also deleted my account several times and re-signed in. It is still not working. When i go to the app store, the "open" tab has a little plus at the top...what does that mean? Seriously, i just need help getting the app to work.

    My twitter is doing the same thing, I click on it and just a small rectangle with everything on the usual twitter screen condensed. I tried re-installing but no luck. I reset my phone too because when I first installed ios7 my screen went black, still doesn't work. I have to use the app off of my mac for now. If you figure something out let me know and I'll do the same!

  • Since upgrading to Safari 5.1 some Java scripts are not working, how can I fix this?

    Many thanks for any assistance

    If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting.  If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output.  That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file.  Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly.  IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
    Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.
