We do not do support with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc. Only on Firefox.

For help with Internet Explorer go to http://www.support.microsoft.com

The Mozilla Plugin Check page only looks for plugins for Mozilla products.

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use (the NPAPI plugin version), so you need to update each of them separately. You should see two different versions of Flash in the Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs - an ActveX version and a Plugin version.

Moses - the-edmeister:

Thank you for the responses on this. The plugin checker detects the version of Adobe Flash correctly but it seems that the actual determination by the script is incorrect. Interestingly, only seems to be a problem on Windows 7 and Vista, not Windows XP with IE. It seems like it could work simply by updating the script.

According to the plugin check page a number of different browsers should work.

Service has been available on a limited basis for other browsers since late March 2010 on a test site: http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

It now also works on the regular site: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

When using a browser other than Firefox, note the 4 browsers and version numbers shown at the first bulleted item on the screen (This page works best with the latest browsers: Firefox 3.6+, Opera 10.5, Safari 4, Chrome 4, or IE 8)

EDIT: Just noted an anomaly.

For IE8, VLC Multimedia Plug-in (VideoLan's VLC Player) is properly detected on http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ but is NOT detected on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

For Firefox 3.6.3, VLC Multimedia Plug-in (VideoLan's VLC Player) NOT detected by either page.
