Dreamweaver CS4 - Netscape/Firefox plugin

[zacharys24222178]

I need some help. I started using my Dreamweaver yesterday, everything works great; however, when I try to run a project that I did earlier in the week, it says I need the Netscape/Firefox plugin. Where do I go to install it? Please and thank you!

Netscape plugin?!

OMG.  Netscape ended in 2006.

What are you doing that requires a plugin for an obsolete browser that nobody owns or uses anymore?

I think I remember Dw8 and below including a fix for netscape browsers, (Firefox was derived from the Netscape 6 browser that was 'killed off').

It is asking for the Flash player plug-in.

Do Not, use anything that requires the flash plug-in in a web site. Most modern browsers are starting to block the use of Flash for anything, and NO mobile device supports its use .

Flash is dead.  Don't use Flash for anything web related.  Most people cannot view Flash media anymore.  

Incidentally, you need a valid document type declaration on the 1st line of your code.  I suggest you review HTML5 -- the current web standard -- even though your legacy version of DW does not know about it.   HTML5 Introduction

You may replace Flash with HTML5 Video or CSS animations.
