Not sure if this is the right place--but here we go. I bought the Plug-in via Adobe's store about three months ago, while I was running High Sierra---It worked fine. I upgraded recently to Mojave and tried to do some tethered work today--unfortunately, to no avail. In fact, the menu bar icon is greyed out and when I put my cursor over it---I get the spinning beach ball--and have to restart the computer. Anyone else having issues tethering Fuji with Mojave? Oh, I'm running hte most current version of Lightroom Classic CC
To build on davidg36166309, the Fujifilm Tethered Capture Plug-in is a third-party plugin not maintained by Adobe. Over the years there have been just a very few questions asked about it in this forum, so you probably won't get much help here. You'll need to contact Fujifilm support or post in a Fuji forum.
Fine but the fact remains that I bought the plug in through Adobe's exchange in August and now it doesn't work. One would think that Adobe doesn't sell items on their website that DON'T work. Fuji to this point blames Adobe---so I'm kind of stuck. Unfortunately, my professional work has moved me towards tethering a lot more and I can't do it with my Fuji camera.
Actually he problem might not be at Adobe at all. The problem is probably at Apple. You may have noticed all the forum members with Mojave having issues. At the Adobe site (my bad, don't have link), Issues with LR and Mojave are stated, now Adobe thinks this is all pre LR 8, but members with LR 8 on Mojave appear to be having massive issues.
I am not going anywhere near installing Mojave on my MACBook, until these problems go away.

Unfortunately, Adobe does at most minimal testing of plugins sold through the exchange. It may well be that there is an issue with the plugin specific to your LR configuration, and as the seller, it's Fuji's responsibility to either make it work with LR or refund your money.
You might consider alternatives:
- Use the Fuji utility to tether the camera and download photos from the camera to a folder on your computer. Use LR's File > Auto Import to automatically import ("watch") photos from that folder.
Glad to see you joined FujiXForum, as you will have noticed in a reply I posted to your inquire their, I asked if perhaps you got the plugin from Fujifilm, at this link:
Different plug in-- That one only allows you to download pictures directly to your catalog in Lightroom and I believe is free. I downloaded the TetherPro plug in for Lightroom at a cost of $79. When working it gave you live view, the ability to change camera function and the ability to focus from the computer. As far as Mojave goes, I've had no problems other then the issues with the aforementioned plug-in. I guess I can back track and go back to High Sierra---but what a royal pain! Anyway, the saga continues! By the way, the new Capture One Fuji version doesn't offer LiveView either-- (nor did the regular version).
