How Do U View Videos And That Kind Of Stuff In Firefox?


Recommended Posts

open FF and in the address bar typ the following:

about:plugins

This will tell you all the plugins you have. more than likely your missing the plugin you need for it. there should be a little drop down bar, like the IE ACtiveX warning one, that recommends you to install the specific plugin the site uses.

here is a list of the most common plugins needed to see videos with FF

  • Shockwave Flash
    • application/x-shockwave-flash Macromedia Flash movie swf Yes
      application/futuresplash FutureSplash movie spl Yes

Shockwave for Director

Strange, but that page of "plug-ins" are the actual programs themselves, not plugins

open FF and in the address bar typ the following:

It helps me. I need to know MIME types for my firewall. Now I know where to start unblocking things that arent listed in my error logs.

It seems everything worked fine for me, until I updated to FF 1.5 this morning. Now even after updating my extensions, things are still broke...oh well, just venting...[/rant]
