I also have this problem, looks like loads of people get this. I've uninstalled the plugin, reinstalled it. Tried IE 11, Firefox(27.0.1), Chrome (33.0.1750.146).
Added security exclusions to IE, put in medium sec mode. Still fails.
In chrome, in settings added the two plugin's as always. Still fails.
In firefox, cleared all settings, downloaded the plugin again, and restarted. Still fails.
Even tried Opera, but the browser isn't supported.
In all the browsers you can see next to Battle Field 4 the orangle/yellow download. It says Browser plugin - Plugin is up to date. In Game it says Update Avaliable, I click on update. It says after I check for update, you're all set. Go back to any of the three browsers and it says YOU NEED TO INSTALL OR PATCH THE GAME BEFORE PLAYING continue or close.
This is more frustrating that anything else, I've even in IE done an Advanced reset , and a full Reset. Uninstalled plugin, retried and still a problem.
I simply wanted to relax, and have a bit of fun. Is there any kind of utility that says what the actual problem is ? Doing a google search for "bf4 browser plugin not working" returns 29,500 results, I'm glad I'm not feeling this pain alone.
Well, I don't believe it myself, but I gave up, Had a game of Supreme Commander 2, and retried, then it worked ! Well messed up.
