Google Earth Plugin Now Runs in Firefox 3
As promised by Google in a comment on my post about Firefox 3 last Tuesday, Google has quietly fixed it so the Google Earth plugin (which lets you run a subset of Google Earth in your browser on a web page) now works with Firefox 3 (as of today - Sunday, June 22). Digital Earth Blog gets points for being the first GE blog to post about it. Google's Paul Rademacher (the chief architect behind the Google Earth API and plugin) posted an announcement about the support for Firefox 3 and that it does NOT require you to download a new plugin binary. Wanna check it out? Try the Milktruck game!

Also, the plugin is not configured to work with the latest Firefox trunk builds, since the user agent string is already up to 3.1a1pre.

And windows xp at that; installation of the plugin silently fails om win2000 leaving you wondering what went wrong...

Yeah no, it doesn't. Still running on the side in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 just "installs" it over and over and over and over again.. No function.

Ok, I installed the plugin. It doesn't work. Has anyone gotten it working on winXP x64? I have FFox 3 and FFox 2 installed and IE 7. It keeps telling me it's installed, but nothing ever changes. Just make it work on Linux, and I won't have to deal with this junk! Please Google!
