The plugin finder cannot install the shockwave plugin.
I have: WinXP SP2; Firefox 1PR; Java; Quicktime; Flash Player.

When I tried http://www.miniclip.com/pipedown.htm , the plugin finder service
started and selected the Shockwave plugin.  I was promted to accept the license
agreement.  Then Firefox (too quickly) reported that the plugin installation was
complete.  OK. But then immediately reported that additional plugins are
required.  Clicking the link to install the additional plugins started the
shockwave plugin install again.  

At least it didn't crash.

I went to macromedia.com and downloaded and ran the shockwave installer and all
is well.  pipedown works.  Just the plugin finder service didn't work.

When I went to http://www.miniclip/pipedown.html, I got a page saying that the
'The page you tried to get to does not exist'; but no crash or anything else
unusual.

Are you saying that the page (or site) works properly once the plugin is
downloaded/installed; if so, perhaps it is WORKSFORME
