Any more suggestions for spotty Flash in Firefox?

Have tried all the combinations, but there are some videos that are black screen and will not load, while others are fine. It is frustrating, to say the least. Is there anything new on the front besides updating or downgrading the various programs, such as Flash and RealPlayer? Using Firefox 16.02 and Windows 7, 64 bit.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Did you already tries these as a test?
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Under Firefox 5,0 tabs do not open any more after closure and restart of Firefox

For some time (new version?) tabs opened before the closure(lock) of Firefox do not open any more when I restart Firefox

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5/6 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session (e.g. "Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

IPad alignment issues - any more suggestions in late 2013?

Hi,
I realise that this question has been asked before, but many of the replies are from over a year ago, so I am wondering if anyone can shed anymore light on it?
I have a site I designed in Muse that displays justified left on an ipad and iphone, rather then centered.
I have gone through the pages and there seems to be no objects that are sitting to the right of the page which would cause the problem.
I tried adding 'overflow:hidden' in the css file, and while this fixed the issue on the ipad, it stopped the full browser width images and footer diaplying at full width.
Any more ideas on how to fix this? Is it possible to add 'overflow;hidden' to the css file AND keep the footer and full browser with images displaying at full width?
The site in question is http://www.wearebrightlight.com
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ben

Lol, sorry about that. It seems we exchanged typos. Yours in the original URL and mine in neglecting to type "not" a Muse generate site.
Now that I'm looking at the correct (very nice) site, a couple notes.
First, when scroll effects are used, the pinch to zoom functionality on mobile devices is disabled. Due to idiosyncrasies of mobile browsers we have yet to find a way to have scroll effects work correctly/reliably across mobile browsers when combined with pinch zooming. (If you find sites with scroll effects that have pinch zooming enable, please point them out to us. Perhaps we'll be able to determine a way to enabling pinch zooming with scroll effects in the future.)
Second, when a site is loaded into a mobile browser the browser will zoom the view such that the left edge of the page is at the left edge of the device and the right edge of the content (which is the page width if everything is within the page width) is at the right edge of the device.
From the appearance of your site in a mobile browser I expect the content in the Work section of the page is flush with the left edge of the page and that somewhere on the page there's content that extends to roughly ruler location 1333, since the browser appears to be zooming out so roughly 1333 pixels are scaled down to fit in the width of the device.
If this doesn't appear to match what things looks like in Design view, a screenshot of the Work section in design view with guides displayed and everything unlocked, visible and selected may help us better understand the layout.
If this does match the current appearance, then moving everything to the right on the page would provide a left "margin" and verifying no content is outside the right of the page will cause the area between zero and the right page edge to scale to fill mobile browsers.

IChat used to work fine but not any more - suggestions?

I've used iChat for about 1 year very successfully but recently video chat has stopped working. I have a MacBook Pro that doesn't work and a PowerBook where it still works fine.
Both have the same system and iChat software. Both are on the same wireless network. The Powerbook can connect to collegues and also the Apple test users (appleu3test01, 02, 03 etc.) while the MacBook Pro no longer connects although it used to connect just fine.
Symptom: I've tried having the MacBook request a conference with the PowerBook and the PowerBook never realizes that the MacBook requested a conference. When I try to initiate the conference from the PowerBook to the MacBook the MacBook never acknowledges that there has been a request. If I try to connect to appleu3test01 iChat on the MacBook displays
"Waiting for response..." for as long as I leave it the request window open.
It seems my MacBook Pro can no longer initiate nor recognize a video chat. (text chat works fine)
Given the above situation I have not tried to modify my router settings nor look into what my service provider might be doing - after all, everthing is still working great on one of my Macs.
All I have done is to try the old school Mac trick of deleting preferences. Specifically the com.apple.iChat.SubNet.plist, com.apple.iChatAgent.plist, com.apple.iChat.plist plists. That made no difference.
If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

I share that funny feeling but:
10.4.3 is to long ago for me to know whether it is within reach of the backward compatibility specifics of 10.4.10, the machine specifics, the routers settings and it's performance in combination with the italian provider and the policy they have towards their subscribers. Just to give an example, apparently the Powerbook does video chat, the MacBook doesn't The QT version that currently is downloadable has system requirements that ask for 10.4.9 as a minimum. And that is just a detail.
A little change to your settings could solve this, but I advice you to to a reset of your network hardware, and update them one by one to the current release versions of their hard (firmware) and software. Check the site of the ISP and router for advise on their current network mode. Write down their details, and your required input network access. Unplug the devices. Leave them a good 15 minutes to power completely down. The device that comes first in contact with the internet connection needs to be plugged in first. Wait till the lights are blinking stable, now connect your MacBook Pro direct to the Ethernet port of the Modem (?) and log in to the interface of the device by typing it's IP address into Safari. Choose easy set up, and you will be asked to input the information you have previously checked on your ISP's site. Check if the firmware corresponds with the version you looked up on their site. It probably will mention if there is new software available and it will take a minute. After the device has restarted, connectivity is confirmed. Click an internet site in safari, and walk through the network diagnostics windows to set up a stable network conform ISP advice. Now the second mac needs to start, select a site in safari, if it needs diagnostics it will ask, respond in accordance to join the network you just have set up.
Some possible trouble causes to look at as well:
Channel settings used by the american sold Extreme is not set to a number that the Italian bought Express automatically switched to as interference was eminently asking for. (Or vice versa and variations on the theme)
Encryption running on the MacBook Pro could cause the problem etc.
The MacBook Pro has an Extreme card. The Powerbook has an Express card.
The Extreme is limited to the performance of the Express now.
Check the help feature as well, open iChat, select help in the top menu.
You need to have a valid internet account, and current up to date software & firmware.
Hope it covers your issue but if it is not solved please post back: Firewall or router settings are likely to cause these problems as well. I am not very good at those.

Itunes won't let me add any more videos for my ipod classic

Hi
I got a ipod classic (80gb) for christmas and I have now added 3.2 hours of video onto itunes which has been synced to my Ipod however itunes will now not let me add any more videos -even though I have added no music files on it as yet , could it be because all the videos I have downloaded myself and converted to mp4 via a internet program? could anybody help as my ipod is supose to play up to 100 hours of video files.
Thanks for everyones help

What is the file suffix of the video files you are trying to add to iTunes? What application did you use to create them?

Any More Games for the Ipod Available?

Is there anywhere at which I could download more games for the Ipod? I'm kind of doubting there is just because the click wheel probably isn't best used as a game controller, but anyway, I'm curious. Oh yeah, if there are any games, I want to make sure they're secure, I don't want them to mess up my Ipod simply because they were made of poor quality.

You can install text-based games that are played through the iPod's notes feature without voiding the warranty.

Any good suggestions for Flash?

After my Flash stopped working thanks to the recent upgrade, I decided to get rid of all the 32-bit libraries and the nspluginwrapper packages only to find that it was solved here on the forums...
However, now that I don't have any Flash at all, is it better to go through the process with nspluginwrapper again or should I go for gnash? I noticed that it updated recently and it might have improved..

though gnash has much more active developers i still prefer the results of swfdec-mozilla. i think it's the better solution for firefox. it has also better support for control buttons and even plays youtube fullscreen. swfdec never autoplays any banner or video. that prevents your browser crashing due to broken action scripts or huge memory leaks.
but gnash is improving fast. it has also a konqueror plugin and a streaming server. new packages are in testing. see the announcement thread.
both solutions are not yet perfect but for me good enough to live without any lib32 stuff.

FED UP - although I have done everything advised by Firefox to allow cookies from sites - there are still several that say I do not have cookies enabled - even when I do? Any more suggestions?

Why some sites and not others? Does it have anything to do my security suite, plug ins or add ons? I use Roadrunners CA Internet Security Suite and my OS is WINXP

How did you remove the Firefox profile folder(s)?
Did you remove the profiles.ini file as well?

Is there any other solution for Adobe Flash plugin crashing than the posted one about updating Flash and Mozilla? I cannot open any PDF files online and updated both Mozilla and Flash player to most recent with no change in the crashing.

I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''. You can also '''Disable''' the PDF plugin and try an alternative, for eg. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=cb-dl-created pdf.js].

Is there any education available for the use of Firefox for a non techie?

I have used Firefox for several years now but I am not very tech-savvy. Many of the points in your promotions and releases don't mean much to me and I feel I may be missing out on some useful tools or features. Is there any education or manual guidance on Firefox and how to use it. How would you suggest that I address this?

Hi philcoa,
You should check out the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ features page] for a quick rundown of all the Firefox has to offer. If there is anything on the features page that you are interested in learning more about, you should try searching for that feature in the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/home Knowledge Base]. They have articles that cover pretty much every aspect of Firefox. Like this [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/getting-started-firefox Getting Started with Firefox] page.
I'll do some digging to see if there are any other articles that might help you.

Any printer suggestions for the ibook g4

I am completely overwhelmed and in need of some suggestion of the most compatable printer for the ibook g4. Mine is a 2004 model

Hi Hotrodgirlly,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
What are you going to use the computer for and what features do you want(example: mostly printing documents, normal amount of pictures, professional photography, as well as all-in-one, scanner, fax, fast printing, portability, quality of print outs, etc)? Price range?
You may want to look at the following threads...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1718307
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1198652
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1858479
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=594421
There are a ton of posts in Apple Discussions alone that can help you make a decision or narrow down your options. I suggest searching AD, Google, and any other search engine on the internet. Consumer Reports probably has a review section on new printers, but you can either buy it in the store or buy an online subscription (I believe).
