Plugins - Determining what's installed & version

Hello,

I have been using FF/TB for several months. How do I determine what plugins are installed as well as the version of the plugin ?

Firefox 1.0.4
Thunderbird 0.7.1
MS win2k sp4

Thanks

- Don

 

Copy and paste aboutlugins into the URL address bar, push enter.
If you like, you can also "Bookmark" the view.

 

works like a charm...thanks

 

Your welcome.

 

Or, install InfoLister, an extension which works with both Firefox and Tbird, and also displays information about extensions and themes, as well as plugins.

 

Jim,
I tried Infolister, and it is not as detailed as aboutlugins. It is probably ok, but would you or anyone else know why I have a bunch of asterisks next to each file type for the Windows Media dDynamic Plugin. There is no unusual notation in Infolister.
The reason why I ask is that some websites are giving me, and I am sure other gecko type programs, fits. One example is cmt.com, others are vh1 and mtv.com
In each case there is a Windows Media player driven embedded player. A few minutes ago I tried to view some videos, and all said that it could not find the WMP9 plugin. I have WMP10, which works fine with other parts of the CMT website.

 

Sorry, Westie, I can't help you, but that's what you get for trying to listen to boot stompin' music on your computer ... that's why God and RCA invented radio. . Incidentally, two of my favorite C&W songs are My wife ran away with my best friend, and I miss him and If the phone don't ring, you'll know it's me.

npnul32.dll is the default Mozilla plugin, but I have the same asterisks you show in about[colon]plugins and it shows as not enabled, which makes no sense to me. (BTW, did you notice that the combination of the colon and the p gives you a in your post?)

 

Jim,
I did not expect a reasonable answer.
Why don't you use personal message. But we got to learn about at least.

 

Westside,

I found that if I installed the old wmp9.reg file, which just adds a bunch of Mozilla/Firefox entries to the HKLM-Software-Microsoft-Media Player-ShimInclusionList area, then reinstalled the stand-alone version of the WMP10 installer, the links then will open and run the WMP10 embed's in Firefox.

You can also just add Firefox.exe to the list yourself I guess, but that reg file always did it fine for me.
