I'm using Firefox 14.0.1 on a mac OSX 10.6.8. I was on Google Maps and tried to use Google Earth but it said I needed to download the plug-in. I did this and it appears in the Internet Plug-ins folder but does not appear in the Add-ons Manager page. I've restarted FF and computer and also deleted the plug-in and redownloaded it but still when I go to Google Maps it says I still need to download it. It works in Chrome and Safari. What am I doing wrong?
