If HP doesn't have a ready answer for this, you can look at the HTML source code of the page. You aren't going to read every word, but instead run a couple of Find operations.
- Select the entire page using Ctrl+u
- Right-click and choose View Selection Source
- After the page loads, open the find bar using Ctrl+f
- Search for the following:
<object
The tag usually contains a "type" such as "application/x-shockwave-flash" that Firefox will try to match with one of your plugins. There might be multiple <object> tags in the page, so try Next until you've seen them all, and make a note of the various types you find.
- Search for the following:
<embed
Similar process here.
- You're done with source view. You can close the window.
Can you report back on what types you found?
