Firefox keeps asking to download & install plugin from Amcrest but I already have numerous times
original version of firefox I downloaded a few days ago seemed to work fine, after firefox updated, I haven't been able to access my amcrest 841 cameras because it keeps asking to download and install plug in. Tried doing this numerous days and after numerous reboots. The current version of firefox is 56.0 (32-bit) Don't know what version I had before it upgraded itself.

Ok, thanks FredMcD. I went to the link you suggested on ESR and I tried the 64 bit version first but that did not solve the problem (I have 64 bit machine) so I tried the 32 bit version 52.4.0 and that is now working as I write this. Thanks Fred, I'm glad there's someone out there that can straighten out these messes. I recently changed to firefox as default browser and seem to work fine until the last upgrade. Chrome and IE worked fine. I guess I should have followed by belief in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I understand companies trying to keep things secure but maybe they should test the upgrades better before they unleash it and cause thousands of people trouble. Thanks again, I've been trying to get firefox to work again for a couple of weeks.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
