I understand it’s not a hard thing to do, was just stating that it’s not as easy as IE, and would like for someone to come up with a way to make it that easy. Under Windows it’s all a matter of running the. Installing Flash for Firefox on Windows (or Linux) is not that hard. So, the point of all of this is, if there was a standard for plugins that had the ease of use of ActiveX without the secruity issues, I’d like alternative browsers 100%, until then it will always be one of my beefs. If it’s some sort of plugin that’s not known you are kind of out of luck and need to research it, while the ActiveX app wouldn’t have this issue. Then you download the file, close your browser, double click the install, navigate to the plugin folder if it doesn’t detect your browser correctly, otherwise it installs it to the right folder, then you reopen your browser and renavigate to the site you were at when this all started. With something like Firefox I get the popup saying I need an plugin of type application/shockwave would you like the Netscape plugin center to find it, if you’re lucky and it’s some plugin that it knows about you’re redirected to a download site. I click “yes”, it downloads, installs, the page refreshes and I can now see the animation. When I visit a site with IE that uses Shockwave or Flash, and perhaps I have Shockwave 6 installed but the site uses something that’s in the Shockwave 8 plugin, I get the ActiveX popup saying that this site uses Shockwave 8, would you like to download and install the plugin. One thing I would like to be better in the alternatives to IE is when it comes to plugins.
