Thank you for making a great browser. I am very pleased with it, if i only gould get the PLUGINS to work. Im currently at 7.0 64 bit version.
Flash works and java works. But i need media player to work too.
And I can not find the plugin folder. Ive looked in all the obious places. This is a norwegian windows but file structure corresponds to c:\program files\pale moon\ ... no plugins folder there.. tried to create one to put the dll files in, but no luck..
Also looked in c:\users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\ ... but nothing there either.
So... i really need this plugin to work, but i have noe clue now where to put the dll files.
HELP!

You can make the folder called "plugins" and you install the 3rd Party Media Player plugin. The required file will go to C:\PFiles\Plugins and you just put it in the plugin folder, since it can't detect Firefox.
Edit: I didn't read your "tried to create one to put the dll files in, but no luck..." I guess I have to install the 64-bit and see for myself. I'll keep you posted, after I have time to. Or if someone else can gladly do this, that would be better.

Re: Windows media player frustrations
I have tried to install this extension in PMx64 several times, it just doesn't work nor do I expect that to change any time soon, this plugin is from 2007 and MS don't appear to want to rework it for Mozilla-based x64 browsers.
The media plugins are the biggest drawback with using an x64 browser still.

It's true that many plugins don't work for the 64, that's why I reverted to the 32-bit, so answered explained.cymroly wrote:I have tried to install this extension in PMx64 several times, it just doesn't work nor do I expect that to change any time soon, this plugin is from 2007 and MS don't appear to want to rework it for Mozilla-based x64 browsers.
