Conrad Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I currently use Firefox as my browser and I'm getting fed up of trying to view video clips online just to find out I'm missing the necessary plugin. Whenever I need a plugin I can click on a link to find the necessary plugin but it can never find one. I'm constantly having to open IE to view vids. Anyone know where I can get some kind of plugin pack for Firefox so I can view everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I use firefox all the time and I've never had a problem viewing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 I basically get the following, I get this all the time and whenever I try and 'install missing plugins' I get a message saying no suitable plugins found. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyh Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm pretty sure that's the reason why FireFox is smaller and faster - there's less rubbish that loads with it and they've given you the option to install the plugins that you want. There can't be too many though surely - RealPlayer, Shockwave, Flash, Windows Media Player are the main ones I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have this trying to play the AVI's created with my camera.. I think that they are Quicktime format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Click it, watch it fail, find out what it tries to download, download it manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 What version of FF are you using. IIRC there was a problem with video clips after an update. I had this problem and downloaded a fix but then FF2 came out and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 you will need to install the correct codec for the type of file you are trying to play. Search and download a codec pack i use the k-lite codec pack and update your ff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I've noticed that after a few hours Firefox gobbles up 200MB of RAM....despite only one tab being open...... Anyone else notice Firefox being resource hungry ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
