When I connect, it asks me no plug-in.
Could you provide URL of web page which need a plug-in.
@Tim: if you have to debug web site issue, it's safer to do it in a virtual machine

The candystand.com requires Adobe shockwave player to play the games.

"Unfortunately, the Shockwave player is only available for Windows. On a PC, it may be possible to run Shockwave under Ubuntu using Wine and running the Windows versions of Firefox and the Shockwave player. (Wine does not work on PowerPC and may not work as expected on 64-bit PCs.) You can then use mozplugger, a program that lets you "embed" other programs in your web browser." - Quoted from Ubuntu Help[1]
