plugin required by website and linked to Mozilla. Option to allow does not appear
Authorware_Web_Player_Plugin.exe plugin is required by my website (eduthink.us) to run the course content (e.g., Addition).
I linked the Web Player to Mozilla. The option "to allow" does not appear on the web page.

Hi Suzanne, are you really using Firefox 23?
Unfortunately Firefox isn't being very helpful to users who do not have the Shockwave (for Director, not Flash) plugin. The old method of providing a pluginspage address doesn't seem to work any more (I'm testing in Firefox 40) and when I search in the source code it doesn't seem to be implemented any more.
Can you add a script to the end of that page? If so, here's what I suggest adding:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkForShockwave(){
var mt = navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-authorware-map'];
if (mt === undefined){ // plugin not available, give user a link
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.setAttribute("style", "color:#fff;background:#00f;font-weight:bold;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;padding:8px 16px 12px");
div.innerHTML = 'This page requires the Shockwave for Director plugin, which you can download from Adobe here:<br><a href="https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" style="color:#fff;background:#00f" target="_blank">https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/</a>';
document.body.appendChild(div);
}
}
// For Firefox and compatible browsers, check for the Shockwave plugin
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Gecko") > -1) checkForShockwave();
</script>
