Last updated March 7, 2009
This document refers to Firefox 3.0, Camino 1.6, and SeaMonkey 1.1.

Adobe Flash Player

Automatic
The Flash plugin is automatically installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder. You can update to the latest version (10.0.22.87) by installing it from Adobe's website.

Adobe Reader

Unsupported
Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 ships with a browser plugin, but it does not work with Gecko based browsers.
The plugin is installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder automatically. The best course of action at this stage is to delete it, and tell Adobe Reader not to check for it using the Adobe Reader Preferences.
If you need a plugin for viewing PDFs, you will need to use the PDF Browser Plugin, which is free for non-commercial use.

Java Embedding Plugin

Adobe Flash Player 10.1

To install the latest release of QuickTime, run Software Update. This plugin is automatically installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder.

RealOne Player

Automatic
Copy RealPlayer to your preferred location. The plugin is automatically installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder after launching for the first time.

Windows Media Player

Adobe Flash Player Mac 10.6.8

Unsupported
This plugin is automatically installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder using the installer from Microsoft's website. However, it has known (and in some cases severe) problems when used with Mozilla based browsers. The Flip4Mac WMV Plugin should be used instead.
mozilla.org has made the decision that Windows Media Player will no longer be supported on Mac OS X. This is due to major issues in stability and compatibility. It is also due to Microsoft endorsing the Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.
