Unity Web Player is a utility that many PC users are familiar with. This is an important component necessary for displaying graphic documents in browsers. But what if Unity Web Player does not work in Mozilla? Is there any way to rectify the situation? Or is it easier to change your Internet browser to one in which Unity Web Player is working properly?
Plugin description
What is Unity Web ...? Every modern user should know this.
Unity Web Player is a plugin for displaying 3D graphics in a browser. It is actively used in most Internet browsers. If desired, the user can install a browser with UWP support by default on his computer.
Unity Web Player can come in handy while watching a movie or playing various flash games on social networks. A very useful utility, which is nice to work with. It is simple enough to initialize the application.
Sometimes users complain that their Unity Web Player does not work in Mozilla. What to do in this case?
Ability to recover
It all depends on which version of the Internet browser is installed on the computer. Mozilla 52 has disabled support for this plugin, but you can try to activate it if you wish.
In Mozilla 53 versions, support for Unity Web Player and Flash Player is completely disabled. You can activate this plugin only on 32-bit software builds.
Accordingly, we will consider working with old versions of the browser, and the activation of Unity Player on new versions of the software. There should not be any real difficulties. Detailed instructions will quickly clarify the situation.
Important: if you don’t feel like bothering with the settings of your Internet browser, you can download a browser with Web Player support by default.
Old software version
Suppose Unity Web Player does not work in Mozilla Firefox 51 version. The situation is not very common, but you need to know about it.
A similar arrangement may occur if the user has an old version of UWP installed. What to do? Update it!
It is best to act this way:
- Go to the settings "Mozilla" and select the option "Extras" / "Extensions".
- In the window that appears, type Unity Web Player in the search bar.
- Click on the appropriate line with the result.
- Click on the "Install" button.
After completing the initialization of the plugin, you can restart the browser. Everything should work.
Cache and its cleaning
Unity Web Player does not work in Mozilla? The second scenario is a full browser cache.
The troubleshooting guide looks like this:
- Go to "Mozilla" on the page where you need to use UWP.
- Press Ctrl + F5 on the keyboard.
- Refresh the page.
- Confirm the use of the previously mentioned plugin.
That's all. Now it’s clear what to do if Unity Web Player stopped working in the old version of Mozilla. But what about when it comes to a new build of software?
Version 52
How to enable the Unity Player plugin in Mozilla Firefox 52? Each user can do this, but not everyone knows how to behave.
To activate UWP you will need:
- Open a browser and write about: config in the address bar.
- Press Enter on the keyboard.
- Confirm the transition to the page.
- Click RMB in the parameter menu with their values.
- Select the operation "Create" - "Logical".
- Write in the pop-up window plugin.load_flash_only.
- Click on the button labeled OK.
- Select the False parameter in the proposed window. Now, in the options menu, you can change the load_flash setting by double-clicking to enable or disable UWP.
- Restart the browser.
After the actions done, everything should work. Sometimes on pages that use UWP, you have to regularly confirm the corresponding operation.
If all else fails
Still there is no result? As already mentioned, in version 53 of Mozilla, plug-in support was completely disabled. If the solution described above did not help, then you will either have to put up with it or look for an alternative Internet browser.
Some users prefer to simply download and install older versions of Mozilla. The main thing is to disable auto-update of the application in the settings.
