Why is Firefox crashing when I am playing You Tube favorites playlists and other You Tube videos?

Lately within the last 2-3 weeks I have had a lot of crashes on my computer when I am running Firefox version 3.6.3 and trying to watch You Tube videos. It seems to only crash when I am on You Tube. It crashes even quicker when I am on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer recently. I never had trouble watching You Tube videos until recently. The You Tube site will open, I sign in, and then I go to my subscriptions or favorites and select a video. It will begin to play, get a minute or so in, and then I get the error message that it's crashed.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: 0fbb30ce-0fdd-4423-9aa3-3f8fe2100528 Signature: cabac_mb_skip

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

  • Why does Firefox crashes when viewing Google Images?

    I was having six tabs open, one is an online pdf and two are from Google Images while the rest are forum tabs. The Firefox (ver 19 which I'm using currently) lags whenever I search for images using Google and in seemingly random occurrence, it will cause the Firefox to immediately crash with no warning. I had lost a significant portion of my time in composing emails and searching for information due to this unexpected error and it had occurred for past three versions of Firefox for me, pointing at the same initial triggers, having Google Images tab open. Checking the crash reporter reveals nothing as it stated "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump." I hope the Mozilla team would immediately rectify this problem as it's quite annoying--and time wasting.

  • Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

    Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

    This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
    Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why is firefox crashing when I try to play a streaming movie on Netflix?

    I have already contacted Netflix and they told me that there is nothing on their end causing this problem. Every time I try to watch a movie (any movie) on Netflix's streaming service, my browser (firefox) crashes, and this has been a persistent problem for about a week now. My computer has been restarted numerous times and I have updated my firefox to the newest version available. It is costing me money, since I have paid for this service, but am unable to use it. I want this fixed now. Thanks.

    You can't open a Word document in Firefox. You need to save the file and open it with your MS Office software.

  • Why does firefox crash when the internet connection is lost?

    We have been having trouble with our internet connection recently and firefox crashes whenever the connection is lost, but this didn't used to happen, so I was wondering why this was happening.

    If there is any intermittent issues or connection is lost you will revert to the menu, regardless. The 'apps' are fed via server and there is nothing stored on the unit, it simply caches when you are online.
    As for the initial wait time. That could be due to ISP throttling, interference, using another DNS

  • Why does Firefox crash when I try to view my Twitter page?

    For the past week, almost every time I try to open a new tab to go to Twitter.com (or right-click on a link in a tweet), Firefox crashes on me. Today when I tried to go to Twitter, Firefox will only load the Twitter navigation bar and not the rest of the page. I have attempted to view my Twitter page multiple times.
    I can view my Twitter page in IE, Google Chrome and Opera, but not Firefox, which is my preferred browser. Have there been any changes to Firefox in the last week that could have caused this?

    You already posted some of the crash report links in another thread that you had created, so I'm going to lock this thread.

  • Why does firefox crash when I print twice?

    When printing any webpage from firefox, if I cancel the print command and try to print again, it crashes, and sometimes it crashes on the first attempt. I tried everything suggested on Mozilla troubleshooting website, and finally removed every firefox/mozilla file and re-installed new version of Firefox, but new version still has the same problem. Found other users online with same or similar issue, but no real solutions yet. Using Canon MX700 printer. Could it be a printer plugin? Any help appreciated

    Check your print queue in your system preferences and make sure it is not jammed up with prior
    print jobs that have not gone thru. After that I would shut the computer down, restart it by holding down the power button until your hear a long tone. If that does not work make sure your reinstall the print drivers that came with your Canon printer. Check the printer setting in the system prefs and make sure all settings are correct.
    PS - keep in mind that sometimes PDF files and other files can become corrupt which will cause print hangs also!

  • Firefox crashes when I try to print from Yahoo mail and some web sites

    I am running Mac, OSX 10.4.11. Firefox has automatically upgraded me to version 3.6.15 and variations in between for months now.
    I have been having problems printing to my Epson CS5800F for at least a couple of weeks if not months. I'm not really sure which version it began with, only that it's been weeks.
    Printing from web sites is intermittent. From Yahoo! mail it is almost daily. I have downloaded and reinstalled the Epson printer drivers which seemed to solve the problem for about a day. Then I was right back where I started. I am very frustrated and aggravated because I need to be able to print e-mail and web site information. And I did not have this problem in the past.
    Is there a fix for this problem? Can I revert back to an earlier version of Firefox where I did not have this problem? I cannot upgrade my OSX to fix this... as this is not an option on this Mac.
    Help?
    I am looking at your about: crashes advice to find crash incidences, but there is no "about: crashes" on my location bar... I have 8 options under about and none of them say crashes.
    I did find the following under help: troubleshooting information:
    Okay... i pasted it below, as I didn't read that far down before I posted it here. I cannot find the Crash ID(s) which would be in multiples this past week.
    I have submitted all crash reports, at the time of crashing, or so it seems, as the crash report window says it will report my crashes. There have been many in the past week... too many to count. And, I have requested help in the last 3 or 4 of them... and entered my e-mail address, plus a request for assistance, but so far, no replies or information has been submitted back to me at my e-mail address. So, I am wondering if this really works, and if you are getting my reports at all.
    I really need to get this problem fixed so I can stop wasting so much time restarting and copying and pasting items into text to print. This is not how a browser should work. And I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback I can get to resolve this problem asap. I need to be efficient in my work and this is not allowing that.
    Thank you,

  • HT3529 why is it that when sending texts, sometimes it shows in blue and other times in green ?  What does that mean?

    Why is it that when sending text messages, sometimes they go through in blue and sometimes in green?  What does that mean ?
    My second question is, at times after sending a text it says:  Sent as a text message.....I'm thinking, really? that's what I thought I sent in the first place !
    Some one please help me out.......

    Hi JoFan0465,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Good question! 
    Blue messages are iMessage conversations (Apple's messaging service)
    Green messages are SMS - standard text messages. 
    SMS is the acronym for Short Message Service.
    MMS is the acronym for Multimedia Message Service (audio, pictures, video can be added to messages).
    With MMS turned on, you will see a little camera icon in the bottom left corner of your screen when you are in the Messages app.  Also you will see the word iMessage where you type your text.
    The link below will explain more:
    Apple - iOS 6 - Messages with iMessage, for unlimited texting.
    See the iPhone User Guide - pgs. 64-66 to learn more about Messages:
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The article that you referenced, iOS: Using Messages explains all of the parameters and requirements for sending messages on your iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • IE and FireFox crashing when trying to play QuickTime movie

    I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 and QuickTime 7. I'm trying to play some movies of my own within a browser but am experiencing problems with the browsers crashing. Sometimes, they work the first time, but after that the browsers crash. The error messages are:
    Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    firefox.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.

    Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

    You've failed to enter a "source" for your HREF "target".
    Use a complete URL to the QT file you wish the "quicktimeplayer" to "target" and your page should work as you want.
