I'm going to sort this out by myself - there's absolutely no benefit in
being told that something works when it clearly doesn't. What I need to
know is (regarding W98 for the time being):
Where do I find info on things like:
Why flash will install in Netscape 6 (which I don't have installed now)
but refuses to install in Mozilla.
What on earth is an xpi file, how does it work, what is it supposed to
do? What should be the effect of running it? What files should magically
appear where, and what do they do?
Are plugins only installable if they can find an application called
netscape.exe?
Why are plugins in MSIE and Netscape so different - wouldn't it be
sensible if there were some sort of 'plugin definition architecture' or
agreed interface, which might enable platform independant and browser
independant operation (thinking wireless and television here -
uncontrollable processor heritage like ARM, etc., not just a computer
with a browser - x86, PPC or whatever)
Why can't I see my flash movies? It's not fair.
