But for 'Google Earth', it didn't do that. When I clicked on 'Update', nothing happened. I have exactly the same problem. I have an outdated plugin but the "Update" link doesn't do anything. When i browse to the plugin link suggested by TonyE it says "Good news — you already have the Google Earth Plug-in installed. Version 6. Well not quite 'simples' i'm afraid. After installing the plugin, I still have 6. A restart of my machine has now fixed the problem. Glad it worked. Sorry I forgot to mention that I did the 'upgrade' with Firefox closed so didn't need a restart.
I went to the link and downloaded the plug-in, then restart FF and now I have the latest version of Google Earth plug-in. It includes almost all of the files installed for Google Earth, an Internet Explorer plug-in and a Firefox extension.
All the future updates are handled by the Google Update service that runs in the background all the time and pings Google to see if there's a new version available. It's your last statement that troubles me. Big time drain on your computer when this is taking place. Try reloading the page. The Google Earth Plugin does not yet support this browser. Supported browsers currently include Firefox 2.

If that doesn't help, you can re-install the Google Earth Plugin using this link Your Google Earth Plugin installation appears to be damaged. We recommend restarting the browser and then loading this page again.
The installation may be damaged. We recommend installing again. No love for us Opera users. I suppose it needs work anyway--I'm guessing the developers are not always planning for each instance of a map on a web page to use MB of RAM. No Linux version? C'mon Google!
Is it a developer issue? Open source it, we'll have it on Linux by tomorrow. This functionality would be far more useful if it wasn't limited to Windows browsers. As it is, I guess I'll have to keep Google Earth. For Linux users, use the old fashion binnary app it's a pity the wine dependency.
I think this browser thing is. What about new java plugin? You can run every java application in browser window including java3D application. For example NASA world wind or jake2 quake 2 port in java. Since it's massive and only runs on Windows I don't see why it's any better than the original version. Ummmmm this might be worth the download if it actually worked on multiple platforms!! Come on google, I expect more from you. And linux as well. Thank God for that.
No Linux. No interest. Come on Google you built your fortune on open source. You should realise that any power user or independent developer is likely to be using Linux by choice. Only sheep are still using IE and windows not the people that you want to make this thing really cool for you.
Not interested if it doesn't work on Linux. I thought Google engineers themselves would be using Linux? Yeah right, as if I'm going to download their bloatware installer which also installs and starts a service! Does NOT work for Mac. This doesn't work for people behind authenticating proxies. Why not make the entire thing downloadable through the browser, instead of making a separate application that doesn't know how to authenticate with a proxy? Google Earth Plugin needs administrator privileges to install.
Please log in as administrator and try again. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Google is just following their mantra "fail early". Porting to the browser is genius, but it may fail to gain traction.
Port to mac? Shift to phase 2 roll out. Also they tend to be technically savvy. If they're interested in a hot new technology they have the know how to check it out. Shift to phase 3 roll out. Free is a tough business model. Google has a million feelers out there and they have to fail cheap and fail early.
If they see it gaining traction they put the resources into phase two, more traction? Phase three I used to use Google Earth a few years ago, then they broke the installer you have to install on the C: partition - not what I want and it won't fit.
Now they bring this out and it doesn't work in Opera. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until the installer is fixed seems a very simple job to me , or have they fixed it yet? Stop whining everyone! For crying out loud. This is obviously just the first release. Do you really think Google doesn't realize it won't work on Mac or Linux? This is Google we're talking about! Of course they'll port it to a wider, open source platform if this initial idea takes off.
Get a grip you big babies. Well that sucks, no Mac version? This is as much a plugin as Adobe's 'pdf in the browser' plugin, which always is the first to go because it is slow as dirt, unusable and insecure.
Not to mention that downloading and opening in the original app works just as well, the only difference is that you get an interface that is made for using pdf files, as opposed to a browser. I hope the Mb memory is in a separate process from the browser No firefox Tsk Tsk. This browser is going to be released within a couple weeks. I don't understand the negativity here. This is a brilliant plug-in - or will be when they sort the teething problems. Loads very quickly on firefox 2 - constantly fails to initialise on ie7 - pity.
Anyway I'm sure they'll sort the bugs out soon. As for which browsers - I am a web developer and as such totally understand sorting out ie and ff first - that's what the majority of surfers use.
Obviously we all want everyone to use these things but as a 'Beta' you have to start with ie and ff - the bugs will surface, they'll sort them , then it will be straightforward to make it work for Linux etc.
As to 'why? Brilliant - and plug-ins can enhance your web experience - would you remove the Flash one? Google -- you need to make an version of the GE Plugin Installer that enables use of a proxy server, or publish an offline installer!!! Found this site while searching for help on using this plug in in IE. I installed it but cant find out how to use this feature in my browser.
If anyone can help me would be grateful. Also please help for firefox Google Earth API's homepage is a good starting point. No such interface supported Comments from earth-api-samples issue15 which was partially fixed with this update indicated the the GE Plugin could by updated by replacing the npgeplugin.
Google Earth "check for updates" states there is no update available, even though I need this GE Plugin update for my application to work. My application will not work at all on new Google Installations until it is recompiled against the new API release. Once my C application was recompiled against latest update Plug-in 5. However when my C application is compiled with Plugin 5. Is it correct that C applications must be compiled with GE Plugin 5.
