Firefox help

dot111

I have just installed Firefox, but some sites are telling me I need to download plugins, Adobe reader,to view photos and animations. I've tried this, I've even down loaded latest version, but no joy.
Can anyone help, I'm getting cross now :-)

Do you mean Adobe Flash Player?

The Adobe Reader plugin that comes with the full reader software only allows you to view pdf documents in the browser as far as I know.

Thanks, I've done that, what do I need for photos and animations any ideas?
Well someone knows the answer, wish I did!

What sites are you having problems with?

Facebook won't let me upload photos and my childrens school, but those are the only two I know are a problem, could be others.

I think that requires Java.

From facebook help on uploading images:

Please make sure that you have the latest version of your browser installed and have also updated your version of Java recently.

Thanks for your help, I've given up, gone back to IE.

Oh. Dear. At least IE7 is pretty secure I suppose.

I'd like to use it, if I just knew how I could download the appropriate plugins allowing me to see animations and photos.

usually clicking the 'download (install?) missing plugin' text on the toolbar does it. i have not used iexplore for years, and i make full use of media on the net
