    No Internet Movies
    I have Mozilla Firefox and whenever I try to play a movie or animated clip, Mozilla says,"Plugin not found" I have downloaded quicktime, iTunes, Flashplayer, Shockwave, realplayer, and have the most updated version of Windows Media Player.It's sort of starting to tick me off.:mad:

    Are you downloading the programs separately? Just doing that doesn't always mean a plugin for Firefox would be installed as well. Also, aren't you getting a bar popping down from under the address bar saying "install missing plugins"?

    Might be worth checking here too: https://addons.mozilla.org/plugins/ . All the common plugins can be found there.

    Yes, the bar that says "instsll plugins" does come down. But when I click on it, I always have to do it manually which takes me to a site where you can download Quicktime, Flashplayer, etc. I believe the site you gave me is the one I have been taken to when I install manually.

    It's interesting that it takes you to a site for Flash - that can normally be installed manually. When it takes you to that site - have you tried installing the plugins? (sorry if that sounded insulting but I thought it best to check)

    What version of Firefox are you using and can you give me a site you are having trouble with.

    Yes, I believe I did download them all (at least I'm pretty sure) I also install it for windows, which is the type of computer I have.

    Here is the site I go to when I press "Install Manually"

    Here is an example of a movie I cannot view Note that I do not plan to watch any of these. I was just looking for an example

    It looks like you don't have the Windows Media plugin (for non-IE browsers) installed. The page you are going to is trying to play a video format that the other plugins can't handle and don't know what to do:

    Reading from this page: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206216
    If you have the necessary plugins and get missing plugin alerts, then its likely that there is a media file that none of the plugins is configured to play.
    So, first - ensure you have at least Windows Media Player 9 installed. If you don't - go into Windows Update and download the latest version (or get it from that link Firefox sends you too). If that doesn't help - follow the steps on this page.
