Plug in required to play this ???
Suddenly I can't play the NWS local radar loop. This Win 7/Firefox/Lenovo is 4 yrs old. I get the plug in required message. What do I need to do?

Nws
Right click and select "image info". Click on "permissions" to see if any of your plug-ins are blocked.

FFox just started giving me messages that the adobe flash player is outdated or unsafe and to download a new secure player. Probably the same issue for anyone in the next few days on Ffox.

I have no idea what plugin is required, no where mine went. The digital age pretty much mystifies we old people.

Chrome
I just loaded the NWS site via Chrome and it works fine. This must be some Firefox deal.

Try this:
1) In Firefox open a new tab.
2) Copy the line below (beginning with mozilla) and paste it in the Firefox address bar (usually starts with http:// or https:// ) and press Enter.
mozilla.com/plugincheck
3) That page will check your Firefox plugins, show you which ones are not up to date and offer you the option of updating them.

In Ffox. go to tools-->add ons
Go to shock wave flash and it will say outdated, need to update. Click the update button and it will take you to a warning screen telling you the add on is vulnerable. Click on the add on checker button located in the message and install an updated add on. It really is that simple. I did it this morning in 10 minutes after posting my similar issue in this thread.
Or use Chrome until they find the same bug and worry about it then. JK

Yep! What ThisOldMan says works. Just updated and I now can watch Flash stuff that was blocked by FireFox before.
Funny thing, the tool lists GoogleUpdate as an unknown plugin. Guess it depends on the revision number or something like that: too new and it's unknown, maybe? lol

Flash is being phased out, and FF was one of the first to try and kill it. IMO a big mistake since there are two decades of flash content in place.
I dunno ... Most people I know embrace it. It sounds like you do too, or you wouldn't be posting here.
