Since updating Firefox to 3.6.6, my plugs-in don’t work very well.

First I learned that pdf’s wouldn’t open automatically. That was solved by re-installing Adobe Acrobat.

Next I learned that video couldn’t be recorded by RealPlayer SP. I reinstalled RealPlayer SP, but the last step -- where RealPlayer SP goes online and connects with its home base -- failed. RealPlayer SP reported (erroneously) that I wasn’t online.

About:support says:

RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin	1.1.4	true	{ABDE892B-13A8-4d1b-88E6-365A6E755758}

My workaround has been to open RealPlayer SP, put the address of the target video into the address bar, click, and then record the video.

Still if you know how I can install RealPlayer as a plug in, I would prefer it.
