I go to watch a movie on duckload.com and firefox tells me (in the information bar at the top) that "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page".

I click the "Install Missing Plugins" button, Firefox scans for the plugin, firefox then tells me that i need to install the DivX Webplayer plugin. I make sure the box is crossed and click the next button. This takes me to the terms and conditions and i agree.

Firefox downloads and installs the plugin and tells me that i need to restart firefox for the plugin(s) to work.

I do this and follow all of the on-screen steps to install the divx webplayer and restart firefox again when it is completed.

Yet when i return duckload.com it still says the divx webplayer plugin is missing. This is not just for duckload.com it happens on other sites aswell.

Thankyou

Relevant information should be displayed in the "About Windows" window.
