plug in issue

more options

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab4 running Mozilla Firefox ver. 32 and when I use websites that have online "point and click" games they all say that a plugin is required but I have no idea what plug in is required. Is there somehow I can find out what plugin is required ? When I tap on the "plugin required" icon in the window nothing happens and I do have my plugin enabled in my settings. Help!

The most common plugins required for games are Flash and Java. If you compare the same sites on the desktop, and right-click the plugin, does its shortcut menu identify which one is being used?

It is a tablet so it is all touchscreen and I cannot "right click". When I tap on it nothing happens I am using Firefox for android 32 and it is on android 4.4 but I am not sure if it is kit kat orjellybean

Yes, but... since you posted using Windows 7 I thought you could check using the desktop system on the assumption that the site would be trying to use the same plugin on both.

I am using this forum on my laptop running windows 7, sorry, it is easier to type on a keyboard lol. Hopefully there is a solution :)

So if those sites work on Windows 7, can you visit them from your laptop and see what plugin they use?
