MadMacs0,
I looked at the library and it is there but see the image below - why the dash on the plugins folder. Looked at my husband's computer and his does not have the "dash" or colored folder.
So, it is a permissions problem. Wonder why that happend?
Plugins are a special kind of folder which would normally show up just as the other icons do if you had permission to see what was in it, but the red "x" means that you don't have read access. That's obviously why your browser can't load it and the web sites don't see it as being installed.
I could give you some Terminal commands to fix it if I knew what it was supposed to be, but I don't and you would probably prefer to try and use the Finder, so let's see if we can do it that way.
First of all, look at your husbands again and find out how his permissions are set. Highlight the plugin and select "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu (or type Command-I) and look at the very bottom of the window in the Sharing and Permissions section. Take note of the entries for the Owner, Group and "everybody", both the names and the Privileges.
Now go back to your computer and do the same with "Get Info."
Click on the padlock in the bottom right corner and enter your admin password when requested.
Now see if you can change those Privileges to match those on your husbands computer. If you aren't able to change them, we may have to resort to the Terminal app. In that case, let me know what your husband's computer settings were.
