Another is that Firefox's settings file storing plugin data has become corrupted. Here are the steps to check those possibilities: Confirm that Firefox is scanning the registry for plugins. Firefox finds the Flash plugin from a registry entry. Some users have the scanning turned off for some reason. Here's how to check and fix that. I want to install the vlc web plugin for chrome on my mac (Mountain Lion). I could succesfully do it on Windows by just selecting web plugin at the time of vlc installation. However, on a mac I think the plugin comes as a seperate package. Because it is not showing up for me in Firefox. – interfect Mar 17 '15 at 3:05. Add a comment 10.
