Web site keeps asking for missing plugins

I work for a well known German car manufacturer and on a regular basis have to complete e-training on their web site.
Now I have already done a platform test for mac and unfortunately failed because it is not comparable - however speaking with iT department they suggested I Run Fire fox. This actually allows me into web page but as soon as I start a course a window pops up saying missing plugins.
It then asks me do I want to locate missing plugins when I select yes it then pops up with another window suggesting there are no suggestions.
It then asks me if I'd like to do a manual search - unfortunately because I haven't got a clue which plugins I require I'm reluctant to download a system for example like Java. My mac 27" is fresh out the box how do I find missing plugins.
Our iT department has suggested changing my computer to a windows platform - which obviously not an option

Java and Flash are two very common plugins that no longer come pre-installed on Macs. Flash used to and I think believe Java did but I'm not 100% sure.
I think you can get Java if you just run software update, otherwise, go here
As for Flash, that's here
Make sure you visit these using Firefox.
If you can provide the link to the website, I can take a look and hopefully see what exactly you need.

Firefox 14.0.1 keeps asking for extra plugins

Firefox 14.0.1 keeps asking for extra plugins in every page even the start page on blank, and no plugin or extension is found necessary when the message is clicked. So what should I do now?

Hi,
Please try the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the '''Default User''' profile. While the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be). If the reset is okay, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data/cache until deleted.

Sites keep asking for username and password and say "restricted". I've tried numerous fixes and am not using a proxy.

Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me please.
I have an issue that extends across my browsers – Firefox and Internet Explorer (Firefox is default) and both are the latest version possible. My machine is fully patched (Win7 Pro x64 SP2).
The issue is as shown below:
'The site xxxx is requesting a user name and password. The site says: "restricted"’
The happens for some (not all) sites and I have to click “cancel” twice to remove the dialogue box, and then the site appears and works normally for a little while. The box will come up again if I attempt to click any links within the same site. It’s incredibly annoying and has been frustrating me for the past month. Here’s what I have tried so far, but hasn’t resolved the issue: 
 
• Clearing Firefox cache/history manually (set to never remember anything) 
• Tried checking/unchecking private browsing 
• Made sure “accept 3rd party cookies” is enabled 
• Tried all checkboxes for “no proxy”, “use system proxy” and “auto detect system proxy” etc 
• Disabled all add-ons/extensions within Firefox and retried 
• Performed the option to “Reset Firefox” to its default state from within “Troubleshooting” 
• Completely uninstalled and re-installed Firefox (latest version) 
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.websocket.enabled" and switched it to "false". 
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.proxy.share_proxy_settings" and switched it to "false". 
• Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies" and switched it to "false". 
• Run a full AV scan in safe mode (with latest definition files) using Avira Antivirus, Spybot Search & Destroy, MalwareBytes, Super Antispyware and performed full optimisations via Registry Mechanic, Tune-up Utilities 2013 and CC Cleaner (with CC Extender installed). No threats found. 
None of the above has helped. The problem is only recent so I’m not entirely sure what’s changed.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I seem to have exhausted my ability to diagnose the fault via the god of Google 

It is always best to avoid using such external cleaners as you can never be sure if they aren't corrupting files and it is usually not worth the trouble to repair damage if that is the case. A lot of the SQLite database files use a complicated table setup that can easily get corrupted.

TS2580 I am attempting to use a 3rd party host to publish web site designed from I-web. The main page of the site is asking for host IP address, etc. I've got all that, except it is asking for Directory/Path. To what is this referring? Thanks!

Thanks.

The directory/path is the path to the root folder and, in most cases, should be left blank...

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online. These are Hymn files. And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files . This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune. We get the Missing Plug in message.

Firefox will not recognize web pages with .aspx suffix, keeps asking for a program selection to open the file.

Searched for "st davids austin" on Google. In results clicked on listing for St David's Hospital North Austin. Apparently the site is written in ASPX and FF will not open it. It keeps asking for me to make a program selection to open the page. When I select FF as the program it just loops back and asks the same question again.

1. That is caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions. It looks like it was fixed for Firefox 4.0.
2. Firefox doesn't go by the "system default printer". Firefox goes by the last used printer in Firefox as being the "default" in Firefox. It will remember the "last used in Firefox" and will use that printer until you switch to another printer and then remember that one.

Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.

1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.

POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

Vista Service Pack 1 wont install. Update keeps asking for it.

Installed Service Pack 1 with Windows Update. Update History says it was successful but it is not in the Installed Updates and Windows keeps asking for SP1 over and over. Vista SP3 is there.
I have tried to install it directly, I closed all security programs and fire wall. I looked to see if there is any missing updates. I've restarted the computer. I have followed all the instructions on the support site.
Service Pack 3 is installed.
I just don't know what to do.
I have Vista Home Premium 32bit

Hi
To be honest I never had any problems with my Vista updates
The Vista updates automatically every time when Im online and when new updates are available
How did you try to update the Vista OS?
Did you download the SP1 firstly to HDD or did you run an automatic update?
If the automatic update does not work try to download the SP1 firstly and then start the update procedure:
The SP1 can be downloaded here:

ICloud Restore stuck - keeps asking for old Apple ID

Hello,
I've just gotten a iPhone 4S that I want to restore from an iCloud backup (I've had a 3GS previously). Unfortunately I'm running into problems as the restore process just doesn't finish. Some settings are restored just fine (contacts, messages, browser history, ...) while others are causing problems. In particular the photos & apps are not being downloaded. Apps are recognized but just sit on my screen "waiting".
I suspect that the cause for all this is that the last backup is from March 2012 (my 3GS died then) and in the meantime I've changed my Apple ID. During the restore it keeps asking for my old Apple ID, which is not longer active & I cannot log into.
Now I'm stuck since the phone decides to set the iCloud account to the old one and this cannot be changed as it tells me that I cannot delete the iCloud account during a restore is in progress...
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Unforunately I don't have an iTunes backup and I really don't want to lose my data (especially the photos).
Cheers,
Florian

The solution to fix this mess was to temporarily change my AppleID name back to the one that was active when the iCloud backup was being made.

I can't change my apple id password because my security answers don't match. It won't give me any other options and just keeps asking for the answers. What do I do?

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!
