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.

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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    i keep trying to set up a new Apple ID but apparently my card info is not working. how do i fix this? "contact ituunes support to complete this transaction"

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • When i try to update my itunes on my pc i keep getting the messaage that there was a problem with the installer and it could not finish. how do i fix this? i`ve tried to download 3 times already.

    when i try to update my itunes on my pc i keep getting the messaage that there was a problem with the installer and it could not finish. how do i fix this? i`ve tried to download 3 times already.

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?

    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 this

    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.

  • I updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do i fix this?

    i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

    kathieaross,
    click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
    Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

  • HT201401 Backlighting is not working how do I fix this?

    MY sister got a new phone and she gave me her iphone3. However the backlighting does not work, how can I fix this? Do I need to take the phone to apple?

    Try restarting the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  If you are still having problems, then you should take your iPhone to Apple for repair.

  • 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...

  • My pavillion g6 notebook fan is not working how do i fix it?

    My pavillion g6 notebook fan is not working how do i fix it?
    i found out  a few days ago when i was not hearing the sound my fan usually does because its really loud 
    and then 1 day i got the message. and is there a way to make it quiet?

    Hey FlowZ,
    Here is the Manual that shows you how to remove all the replaceable part in the notebook. Go to page 73 where it tells you the part #'s for the fans depending on what your processor is.
    Now, i wouldn't advise you to remove it yourself. 
    But these are the steps to remove the Fan. 
    1. Turn the system board right-side up, with the front toward you.
    2. Disconnect the fan cable from the system board (1).
    3. Remove the Phillips 3.0 x 2.0 screw (2) that secures the fan/heat sink assembly to the system
    board.
    4. Follow the sequence embossed on heat sink to loosen the six Phillips 10.0 x 2.0 captive screws
    (3) that secure the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board.
    If you want to replace the fan just go to Hp PartSurfer and search by your product #.
    Here is a Document that will help you with Reducing Heat inside the PC.
    Also,Reducing Fan Noise.
