I've come accross several webpages that need a plugin of some sort
see:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/modules/plugin/test/SimpleTest.html
They usually say: click here after installing plugin and a window pops
up for the netscape plugin: Get Plugin button. After clicking the
button, a netscape site appears saying: "Here are 0 matching plugin(2)
found"
see: http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/plug-in_finder.cgi?application/x-simple
The first site above tries to explain what may be wrong, but I don't
know what to do. I've checked all the suggestions on that page (see
bullet points and my responses below):
1. For Windows, the class file should be in the Plug-in folder along
side the DLL
I don't know what a class file is or whgere to get it.
2. make sure that Java isn't disabled
Java and javascript are both enabled
3. This is most likely because the Plug-in file isn't installed in the
plug-in directory. Also check that the list of helpers contains an entry
for type application/x-simple-plugin that names the Simple LiveConnect
Sample Plug-in.
I don't know how to install the plugin into the right directory and
the helper application window (file types) in preferences is empty. I
don't know how to add entries there at all.

Could someone please explain how plugins are installed in mozilla. This
is all very confusing (not userfriendly)
Thank You, Peter Lairo
