FireFox 1.0 Released!

[Agozer]

I using it now.....and it sucks!!!  I tried to play a game and it said the Macromedia Flash plugin needed to be downloaded. So it connects to download it....but it doesn't work!! Flock FireFox.

It does work here...

Just go here to get the latest Flash and Shockwave players. Click the green puzzle pieces and FireFox will basically handle the rest. Cake, I say.

Actually...it didn't handle it. I clicked the puzzle piece but once it downloaed it, the games still didn't work.

what's that game's name anyway!! link me to it and I bet mine will work

[Sturmvogel]

Sure...if I go to Macromedia and download the program, I'm sure the Arcade section games would work. But in the instance where I click on a game (doesn't matter, choose from any of the 500+) it shows a puzzle icon. When you click it, it begins to get the flash plugin....only thing is it doesn't work once it's finished dowloading!! Those Firefox programmers screwd that up....and this is a new version?

This doesn't seem to be a wide spread problem otherwise there would be more occurances of this and they would have fixed it by now.

 

Try uninstalling your Shockwave and then try it.

[Daeval]

Yeah, what gryph said. They work for me. Try uninstalling shockwave from the control panel.

 

And in what way do they "not work?" Does it still say you're missing the plugin or what?

[Sturmvogel]

I'm not doing this on my home comp, but in a lab. It downloads the plugin but it doesn't take effect.....its pointless anyhow. I just wanted to see how good of a browser it was, and someone had installed it on the comp i was using. I'm not that impressed with it anyhow....I'll stick to the crappy IE.

worst idea ever! at least use opera man! IE is evil now!!

The comp at the lab is probably locked on "administrator" mode, meaning you're not an administrator, and hence can't install anything.

[Sturmvogel]

No..that's not the case. As I said before, Firefox was INSTALLED on the computer. I frequently install other programs I use as well.
