I am unable to view flash videos from all websites except youtube after updating to Firefox 4. All help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.

Unable to view flash videos in Firefox. Please help.

Hi there,
I've tried all the troubleshooting from Firefox's troubleshooting guide to no avail.
I'm unable to view videos that require flash.
I can watch YouTube, but I have to enable flash first.
This has never happened before, but now it won't go away.
System: Windows 7 (64-bit)
Adobe Flash version: 16.0.0.287
Browser: Firefox 35
An example of videos that I used to be able to watch were from the Arrow and, ironically, The Flash TV shows.
Now this is the error I receive:
CWTV requires Flash Player 10.2.0 or higher.
Arrow Video - The Climb | Watch Online Free
Please help!
Best regards,
JM.

I am unable to view any videos from the BBC website, getting "Not Available" error message. Works ok with Internet Explorer.

When I go to the BBC (British Broadcasting Corp) website, and click on a video, I get a "Not Available" message. I do not encounter this problem with Internet Explorer. I currently have
the Firefox 3.6.18 version installed. Thank you.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Unable to view/print pdf from Banks website.

I am unable to view/print pdf files from banks website, a white blank screen appears. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe multiple times. I'm running Windows Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader XI. I am able to view/print these files from a different computer and save them to a flash drive. I am then able to open the files on my computer directly from the flash drive. I am thinking maybe I have a setting enabled/disabled somewhere??

Thank you for your response. Please be patient with my ignorance--I am not a power user.
1)I do not know what you mean when you direct me to open the PDFs within Reader. I typically do open PDFs that are already stored in my files on my computer, but I don't know how do vies/download pdfs that I need to view or download from the Web from within Reader. Can you please tell me the steps involved?
2) Do you happen to know whether this is a new development with Chrome? I have been using both Chrome and Adobe Reader seamlessly for several years with no issues.

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Unable to view music videos in iTunes on mac

I have iTunes on a G5 Mac Pro It is on the latest version of 10.5 with the most recent update to iTunes. I am unable to view music videos many of which I purchased from the iTMS or came with music CD's as extras some are m4v others are mp4.
If on import I set the option for format as being Music Video I cannot get the videa to launch double clicking on the video gives a picture in the album cover window but does not launch the video viewer nor does the video play. I dont often view music videos just Movies or TV Shows and last time I did I recall Music Videos playing they opened in a seperate window and there was once a setting in preferences where you could choose if a video launched in a new window or used on in iTunes.
I have used the info window to change the video type to standard movie and then going back to the file in iTunes double clicking launches the video in full screen mode. Once I then set back to Music Video it reverts to refusing to play.
In any format the file plays in Quicktime
Any suggestions pointing to where the problem may lie would be welcome. I cant see any relevant settings to set how a video displays in either menus or Preferences other than ensuring video window stays on top. It maybe in one of the many upgrades this Mac and iTunes has had the settings have been corrupted.

They will not show up in a separete category in iTunes. This is because the videos will show up as songs so that you can play the audio portion of a video without the video. Try it.

Is it possible to save a Flash video from a webpage?

So you can't right / ctrl click and save as, but is there any other way of saving Flash videos from webpages? Or would that conflict with what Flash was designed to do? (I'm thinking that perhaps publishers want to control and monitor viewing of their content, rather than release it for uncontrolled redistribution. Fair enough.)
As someone looking at getting into publishing Flash content, is there any way for me to enable viewers to download content? I haven't got to the Publishing for Web chapter in my Flash book yet, so maybe I'll learn all about this soon enough...
...though any input would be appreciated.

Yay it worked after a bit of trial and effort (was holding buttons Dow too long). Thanks so much for your help

Cannot transcode to Flash Video from Encore 3

I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
I am running Encore 3 on a 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

For the benefit of those subscribing to this thread here is the latest exchange in the several-week long series of exchanges that I have had with Adobe Technical Support over the failure of Encore CS3 to output to Flash on the Mac platform. I think you will find it interesting that Adobe Tech support cannot even agree among themselves that this is a problem.
"Notes to Customer
Thursday, October 2, 2008 10:50:12 AM PDT
Hello Thomas,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Encore® CS3.
I understand that when you try to export Flash® video from Encore CS3
that the trans-coding process freezes at 20%, and that you would like to
know if this issue will be resolved in the Encore® CS4 release.
First of all, yes you are correct, I inadvertently wrote CS3 beta when
I meant to say CS4 beta. Also, I was doing this test on the Mac. The
Export to Flash feature is included in Encore CS4. Here is a link to
the CS4 help file that describes the feature (copy and past into the
address bar of your web browser):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WS99E1F60A-A9DE-4267-ACA7-0EBB
18B75113a.html
I was not able to locate any documentation regarding a bug when
exporting to Flash from Encore CS3, and when I tested this function on
my Mac using Encore CS3 it worked fine. Perhaps a subsequent QuickTime
update, or the Mac OS 10.5.5 update corrected the issue.
Unfortunately I am unable to give you a definitive answer regarding the
functionality of Encore CS4. We are limited as to what information we
can give out during the pre-release period. The best way for you to
evaluate the software is to download the free trial when it is released.
That way you will know for sure if it has the necessary capabilities
before you make a purchase.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
messages you are receiving.
You may also call Technical Support at (800) 642-3623. We are available
from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday - Friday, Pacific Time.
Kind regards,
Adam

Adam,
Thank you for your October 2 response. In that response you stated: "I was not able to locate any documentation regarding a bug when exporting to Flash from Encore CS3, and when I tested this function on my Mac using Encore CS3 it worked fine. Perhaps a subsequent QuickTime update, or the Mac OS 10.5.5 update corrected the issue."
I am using Mac OS 10.5.5 and I am using the latest version of Quicktime (7.5.5). What version of Quicktime are you using on your Mac that properly works with Encore's output to Flash?
Please note that I was expressly told by Adobe Tech Support (and I have it in writing) that Encore's Output to Flash was broken in a Quicktime update. I believe that the last version of Quicktime that Encore output to Flash will work with is 7.3.x.
I will definitely test Encore CS4's output to Flash before purchasing.
Please do let me know the version of Quicktime that you have on your Mac that is working correctly in Encore CS3 relative to output
to Flash video.
Thank you.
Tom"

When ever i try to view a streaming video from a website I now get two of the same stacked on each other in same panel where one video should be view, what is wrong?

When ever I am trying to view streaming video from websites, such as CNN or ESPN or You Tube, I now see the same video stacked twice in the panel where it used to only show by itself. I think it happened after the last updates to Firefox and Flash Player, but not sure what was changed to create that effect?

First of all, Firefox support SUCKS! I am looking onto Opera or Chrome.
Here is my solution. I have WinXP 64 bit with a Nvidia card. I had the same issue and all I had to do is update the video drivers and it fixed the problem. Try this out.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Flash Player.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Adobe Flash Player.

If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.
