What is the plugin that you are trying to use ? Please give full name, version, and site.

Strictly we probably should not support Ubuntu Firefox on this forum. What are you a Canonical build from the Ubuntu distro and then maybe spoofing the UAS. I have several versions and builds of Firefox installed and am currently posting from the Ubuntu Release Firefox.

What page are you trying to display ? (an ancient Mozilla one ?) I can use both the mozilla and ubuntu homepages (about:home and about:startpage)
