I don't get it, but I recently updated my firefox to version 1.0.4. Anyway, so I got one of those green puzzle pieces saying, Click Here to download plug-in. I get the plug-in finder service then, and I get flash player 7 with the check in the box for download come up, under "the following plug-ins are available:". So I click next, and it says "Firefox finished installing the missing plug-ins:" and under that, Flash Player 7/Not Available/Manual Install. I choose manual install. The .exe comes up on my desktop. From there I install it and it says it did so successfully. The flash player's website comes up and all the successful stuff, etc.

Then, I use Firefox, go back to whatever site I was just at, and the green puzzle piece, missing plug-ins thing is there all over again. Not only that, but other plug-ins have the same problem. I tried to check out the new War of the Worlds quicktime, puzzle piece over where the quicktime should be! Also, it happens with java at other times as well. All of them the same way. Look for plug-in, install 'not available' or 'failed'. Manual install. Successful. Same problem exists in Firefox.

I don't get it. Has anyone had this problem before??

I believe this means the plugins aren't supported at all. I had this happen during the NOOOOOOOOO thread, they were all embedded Quicktime objects and I got the green puzzle piece.
