Why firefox does not allow users to configure to play other types of media in the browser via its plugins?

Firefox has a plugin that allows you to play. Stream AVI files in the browser.
There are of course more types of file stream only. AVI that vlc media player (a very popular program) can play.
Why doesn't firefox allow these types of streams, that is to say - FLV to play using the browser firefox via the plugin?
Firefox does not even allow users to manually set this behavior.
I think it's ridiculous to have the potential to be a great another browser, but not yet the chance to compete because of this inconceivable gap.

I got an advance on the answer here:

Thank you.

  • Why PL/SQL procedures does not allow users to enter data dynamically at run time?

    Dear all,

    I tried to do a procedure that will search for a group of approval in our database that matches.

    (1) the number of levels

    (2) the number of users by each level

    (3) the id of users by level

    entered by the user.

    I tried various methods to receive user input dynamically at run time, but in vain.

    Finally finished my procedure allowing the user to enter the parameters and then executes the procedure, to which these parameters are passed as arguments. (1 variable for the number of levels and 2 userdefinedarrays with the number of users by level and level respectively)

    Why PL/SQL procedures does not allow users to enter data dynamically at run time?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Sir,

    My question is that if I'm going to say, the number of levels 5, is there any way by which, at runtime, the procedure prompts me to enter at the start of the number of users per level. Now as soon as I get the number of users per level can I do the procedure ask me to enter the nicknames of the members of each level. I mean, something like a invite.

    Thank you

    There is no way to do it in SQL or PL/SQL, because not SQL PL/SQL is a way to get user input.  User interaction is a job for your front end, like Zlatko tool suggested in response to #5.  If your front end tool is SQL * Plus, you can use the substtitution variables, as Jarkko showed in response #6.

  • Why Apple does not allow an iPhone to do scan WiFi?

    About 4 years ago, Apple pulled all applications that have enabled an iPhone search for WiFi networks. Why? (There was something for developers who use "Private APIs").

    There are a number of tools available for analysis for Macs. I helped a café owner to untangle its WiFi (it had both an old, disconnected and a new active WiFi router, and had the same channels as the business side) and used my scanner for Mac to try to optimize my home network. But I still have a low coverage in some corners of the House. An iPhone would be a perfect device to determine interference and blind spots, because it is much more portable than my laptop. But Apple does not allow this use.

    Why Apple does not allow this very convenient using an iPhone? I just read about a hack that allows it to display the power of a cellular signal in detail. But you can't do it for WiFi. It makes no sense to me. Apple could do this job if she wanted to.

    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Why Firefox does not delete cookies by leaving to open tabs?

    Firefox does not delete cookies for the tabs that are left open when you quit the browser even with empty cookie options set. Cookies are only eligible for the tabs that are closed before leaving the browser. I do not understand how this could possibly be a design decision because it completely defeats the purpose of the privacy settings.

    Under Options > Privacy I enabled/selected, the following options.

    • Accept cookies (no "Exceptions... »)
    • Continue until the "closing of Firefox".
    • Clear history of Firefox closing
    • * Download history
    • * Cookies
    • * Active Logins
    • * Cache
    • * Data from the Web site offline

    These cookies are stored in session data.

    You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (no HTTPS, default in the Firefox 3 versions) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.

  • Why Firefox does not work with Hotmail more?

    Hotmail opens but I can't click on anything whatsoever, can not open e-mails or open folders.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click on the menu button , click Help , and then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If Safe Mode did not help, delete all references to Hotmail, as described under the heading "How to remove a single website to my story?" in this article - delete navigation, search and download history on Firefox, then try again the site (not related to an old favorite). Note: It may take a few minutes to complete the removal.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem. Thank you!

  • Firefox does not connect to any Web site, but other browsers will.

    When I get something in the URL- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ one bar the IP address, there is a fraction of a second flash, then the bar becomes empty and nothing has changed. It seems that Firefox is not even try to connect to the internet.

    Yesterday, everything was fine when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows Pro 8, Firefox has failed. I've updated for Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.

    I've walked by the firewall program, several times (the only race is the built-in Windows Firewall). Finally, I uninstalled Firefox, including all my settings, custom and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this version pure and clean Firefox does not connect to the internet.

    I am a computer web developer and would be happy to look at the log files or run a tool (Fiddler?) to see what happens at a low level, if I only knew where to look.

    john99, thanks for the links. I went through all (again), one by one. The last link kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic showed me what helped. I've renamed "firefox.exe" to "firefox1.exe" and was able to use firefox.

    It made me suspect the firewall or malicious software. I ran a Malwarebytes full scan, zero problems detected. I have pored on the entries of windows firewall, the "Windows Firewall with advanced security" view and also the simple control panel view. The only mention of Firefox is that I continue to add and remove to allow firefox through.

    Here I knew what was going on, but for now, I can at least use firefox. How frustrating!

  • Why Adobe does not allow developers to create addons that do not have a remove feature

    I tried SmugMug export plugin ALLOYPHOTO Publish and don't think it was what I need, I decided to go back to the free version of SmugMug to see that ALLOYPHOTO has fixed their Add-ons to be not suppressible.

    I guess it's a plan of Alloyphoto of junk supplements function peoples of the lightroom program.

    Is there a reason why Adobe allows applications to be installed without a remove function?  I find it disappointing that Adobe does not there people out there who make software damage peoples programs and would not guarantee that all the addons can be removed.

    I see that Alloyphoto sells dozens of addons, so I recommend to anyone realize that Alloyphoto probably did this process with all of their software.  They announce the addons like that can be assessed for 10 days and don't tell you they did ensure that addons can be removed, is not what I call a trial product.

    Here are the steps to remove a LR plugin and delete it from your drive:

    1 file > plug-in Manager.

    2. in the left column, highlight the plugin and select it.

    3. in the right column, scroll down to the section of the State and, as appropriate, expand it by clicking on the triangle.

    4. click on view in the Finder (Mac) / show in Explorer (Windows) to open Finder/Explorer on the folder on the drive that contains the files of the plugin.   It ends in ".lrplugin".  On Mac, it will appear as a 'package' (a single file) and on Windows, it will appear as a folder.

    5. in the Solution Finder/Explorer, delete the plugin.

    6. in the LR plug-in Manager window, make sure the plugin is still selected and click Delete at the bottom of the left column.
