Firefox 5 crashes Web plugin - LOGGED (THREED-1675)

It just came to my attention that FF 5.0 crashes when trying to load the web plugin.
I don't have much info yet other than that. Can anyone confirm? Or better yet confirm and post a fix? lol

@Scot Kinney: Firefox 4 and 5 are not supported at this time. This has already been logged as THREED-1675.

Thank you for the quick response. I must've missed the bug report.

The problem appears to be if you are running Firefox on a 64 bit version of windows

I have successfully run the web plugin in Firefox 5 on a 32 bit Windows 7 that said performance is not as good as before. I've hardcoded the paths to the game directory. Can't get it to work reliably though


The error msg is the classic directx is not found, so it is loading the NP plugin dll.

Digging deeper no matter what I try with the paths LoadLibrary is returning 126 the generic not found.

I'm guessing there is a further dependency

Dependency walker complains about MSVCR90.DLL

FYI Its not the plugin container, switched that off no difference

This is a serious problem as all new computers are being shipped with 64 bit Windows and the default is to download Firefox 5

Continuing my research

I have successfully run the plugin in firefox 6 on both 32 and 64 bit WIN7 however on other computers it doesn't work

It seems to work only on those with VS2008 installed so its some form of dependency issue. Tried installing the Vs2008 redistributable but no change
