Which plugins are recommended

We primarily use the computer for e-mail correspondence, googling, and viewing pictures and videos. I also use Skype.
Lately, my system has been running slower than usual. I thought that reducing the number of plugins might increase the performance. If so, do you have specific recommendations for which ones I should keep.
Thanks for your help !

Your plugins list shows that you have the Mozilla ActiveX plugin installed. 
The Mozilla ActiveX plugin is not compatible with Firefox 2 and 3 and you should remove it. 
For instructions on how to remove the Mozilla ActiveX plugin see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/ActiveX
You can remove:
# Ask Toolbar Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
You can remove the Adobe Download Manager (getplusadobe#####) plugin(s) from the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
# getplusplusadobe16248
# getplusadobe15235
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can see the installed plugins on the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aplugins about:plugins] page.
If you set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page then you see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page. 
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). 
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.
See "Manually uninstalling a plugin" on [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension if you have those, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
See also http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions 
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

HOW DO I FIND WHICH PLUGINS ARE NEEDED on pages that dont display?

Question
when i loginto my.t-mobile.com i get a circle of moving dots in a white screen over top of some of pages, and some pages have a moving circle like the QuickTime circle in place of the curser. i know its because ff needs a plugin or something installed but dont get info from ff as to what is needed. this site works perfect in IE8 (after IE8 loaded unknown to me which ones) some plugin.have upgraded to FF8, same problem. had same type problem on IRS free file website where pages wont show, but worked perfect in IE8. problem has to be that a plugin or addin needs to be installed but i can't get any info about which to work on.

Very few apps actually run in the background, so, if you're talking about removing apps from the recently used list, that's unlikely to have any significant affect on your data usage. You should go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn off background app refresh for those apps that you don't need to have using data in the background.
You can go to Settings>Cellular and scroll down to see which apps are set to be able to use cellular data. Under each app name is the amount of data they've been using.

How do I know which plugins are needed

Mozilla's newsletter has just prompted me to check my Firefox plugins. It found five that were up-to-date, all of which I recognise - sort of. I was surprised though that it found another 10 which it said were "unknown" and prompted me to "research". Some of these were pretty blue-chip, like McAfee SecurityCenter, and Google Update - some don't mean much to me. Four are "Real"Something.
I guess I should get rid of those I don't need. My problem is - how do I know what I need? If I disable RealJukeBox, am I likely to find that something I use suddenly stops working? Clicking "Research" may tell me how to remove a plugin, but does not seem to tell me what it does and what uses it. (I think BBC iPlayer uses RealPlayer, so I probably should not remove that.)

Find the ap in the App Store and tap on it to see more info. There will be a section with minimum system requirements.

Which plugins are needed/ good for firefox?

I have several plugins listed that are followed by (?Research) what does this mean?

Can you guide me on how to change it to adobe reader as the default. I can't figure out where this option is.
I have to get access to the computer with the probloem to pull up the error message when trying to open a pdf file in Explorer. I think it says that it can`t find the program or to try shutting adobe down and try again.

Driver Updates, Which Ones Are Recommende

I bought my Dell 8200 with an SBLi've! board and the Creative Suite that goes with it in 2002. Versions are .nuttin. A lot of updates for applications and drivers are shown for this product. Which ones should I download and install (and in which order?) ?to bring me up to the latest for?this older?configuration?I know this is asking for a bunch, but I know I'll screw it up if I d/l 20-odd patches and install them in the wrong order, so I appreciate any help offered. I'm really at about version .03.

Sometimes a plugin-container.exe instance starts hogging a ton of memory -- I would like to know which plugin is running inside that plugin-container without having to one-by-one disable the plugins. Which process called plugin-container.exe?

As described above, I have several instances of plugin-container.exe running, which is OK. It would make me feel safer to know which plugins are running inside each of these, since I would be better able to know whether there is malware running inside one of them, or which website might have made the process start hogging memory.
I am a power user, I usually have 80-100 tabs open, and of course it is hard to track the website or plugin down without having to waste a lot of time.
Could you provide in future releases this information?
Is it already available under one of the about: pages (e.g. config, plugins, memory, etc?)

Thanks Efreak! 
Maybe I was not clear. I usually have 4-5 plugin-container.exe processes running. I know now that the large one that hogs is the Adobe Flash player, but, for example I don't know which plug-in initiated the other plugin-container.exe instances. 
One of them actually says "googletalkplugin.exe" if you dig deep, which is OK. At least I know why the plugin-container.exe was started. But there are other instances that are just there and there is no way to figure out which plug-in initiated it. 
This would of course also help figure out if it is really the Adobe Flash plug in that is hogging all the memory, OR even if within Firefox in the about: pages one could figure out which TABS are using which plug-ins.
Like that you could freely choose to terminate the process directly, or close the TAB. 
1) What I am looking for is a way to determine which plug-in is running under which instance of plugin-container.exe 
2) Additionally it would be great to have a summary of which TABS are using which plugins (e.g. in the about:plugins page or yet another about: page)
 
Thank you

How to find out which plugin is missing ( embed width="100%" height="100%" messagecallback="parent.frames.MANIPULATIONS.AppendMessage" spinfps="15" spiny="30")?

How to find out which plugin is missing fro mthe website: http://web.it.nctu.edu.tw/~twli/interactive/scr_tutf.htm?
After looking at one similar question found in mozilla support and answered by jscher2000 (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957655), I have found out I have to look for either <object or <embed. What I found is : <embed width="100%" height="100%" messagecallback="parent.frames.MANIPULATIONS.AppendMessage" spinfps="15" spiny="30"
What do I have to do now?

This big1.mol (and possibly big2.mol) file is loaded in the embed plugin object that is opened in a iframe, so you can right-click the plugin area to check the embed code.

I want to prevent the message "your plugins are not uptodate" from appearing after each refresh of the browserpage

Yes, I know I have a 7 year old iMac with a stone-age CPU.
Yes, I know the OS X 10.4 is outdated.
Yes, I am aware that my version of Firefox is no longer supported.
Yes, I know that some of the plug-ins are outdated.
But the system works well enough for me, believe it or not, and on this hardware newer versions just don't work. So why remind me every time I refresh the browserpage of these obvious facts? This is extremely annoying, very user-unfriendly.... (I almost used words that should never be used in the public space.)
This way of pushing people into abandoning something that is still perfectly workable does in my mind not correspond with the values that Apple and/or Mozilla say to maintain, things like "focussing on user satisfaction" and "taking care for the environment".
Please tell me how to switch off these messages. Do not suggest me to install Ubuntu on my Mac. I am about to do that already.
Thanks in advance, fellows.
P.S. Those nasty people that might try to hack my machine do not need to know which plugins and versions are on it, so I don't list them here. If they bother to find out, they probably know more details already than I can provide.

Also, for program update reminders, you could try:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Update - set to "never check"
If that doesn't work, I believe there is a little update history file you can delete, but I'd have to search for more info on that.

Which is the recommended way of getting a KN presentation to YouTube?

If I am reading correctly, then I have two options to get my Keynote presentation with music onto my YouTube channel:
1. After finishing the KN presentation, I can convert it to a QuickTime movie and then send that QuickTime novie to YouTube .
2. After finishing the KN presentation, I can send it to iMovie to make a movie out of it, and from there send it to YouTube.
Which way is recommended? Obviously each way of doing it has its own merits and demerits. So what are they?

Exporting it uncompressed will make no difference. The material has already been compressed when it was shot. It's sounds like Toast isn't encoding the material very well. I've never heard anyone say it has a great encoder. iDVD5's is supposed to be better, and you can get better results with care using Compressor or Bit Vice.

All plugins are disabled by default everytime forefox restarts.

Everytime I launch mozilla firefox (most up to date version) with no custom theme installed. It opens up with all Extentions disabled. So far I have 4 plugins (adblock, idm, bitdefender and real player) Plugin works ok.
Each time I have to manually go to options and enable plugins then restart. This only only occur with my Desktop my other desktop and laptop works fine.
How can I fix this issue so each time I launch firefox all plugins are enabled unless I have disabled them.
I am using Windows 7 Premium.
Regards,

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

What ideal Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs

What best Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs?
- Processor
- Memory
- Storage
- Network
- Etc...
Following is the scenario:
- The server will be for development and test DBs
- More than one databases will be installed each for each project
- Maximum 4 databases will be accessed each time
- Maximum DB size for each DB will be in couple of GBs.

Which version of 11g ? For 11gR2, see the requirements here - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#i1011417
Any server that exceeds these requirement will suffice. Obviously the more the number of processors, the faster the processors, the more the RAM, the more the disk etc etc, the better.

Why should we install new plugins , like updated version of flash as plugins are in the browser so firefox should update it ?

I want to repeat that why should i install Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 as plugins are in the browser, it will be if you let me know ?

*Flash is a '''''separate application''''', not part of Firefox
*Users choose, or not, to install applications with plug-in capability
*You can find Flash, and other applications with plug-ins for Firefox (and other browsers), on your list of installed applications (Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, in Windows XP)
*Flash installs in it own locations on your hard drive
*The Flash plug-in is made available in Firefox (and other browsers that use the plug-in version) by a Windows registry entry
*The same is true for the ActiveX version of Flash that is used by IE which must be updated/installed separately from the plug-in version of Flash
'''If this reply solves your problem, please click "Solved It" next to this reply when signed-in to the forum.'''
Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:

Which plugins to I need to watch online movie streams?

I can watch Youtube videos as well as streams such as Twitch. However, when I try to watch an online movie stream it doesn't work anymore. The loading wheel just keeps spinning, but no error message comes up that says that there is a plugin missing. I installed and updated the flash player and shockwave player, so which plugins do I need more? Java or silverlight maybe? Thank you

Please make sure that the graphics drivers and webgl drivers are up to date:
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Restart Firefox after making any changes. If you do not see an improvement, please consider disabling hardware acceleration:
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
