Audio hangs on all videos played in firefox after updating to 3.6, everything works fine in internet explorer.

sound locks up and repeats while videos play, sound resumes as it should after a second or so, happens once every few seconds while playing any video within firefox. (youtube) flash applications work fine. internet explorer runs all videos fine. let me know if i need to dig up some more info to help figure out what my be causing the problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox 3.6 update

This will require advanced help. I believe it has something to do with the session restore feature of Firefox, but I can't help you fix it.
In the meantime (that is, before another contributor that knows how to help you comes here), you may want to try creating a new Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the same issues occur on that one. This profile can be erased if you don't want it, of course. Please tell us whether the new profile has the same issues or not.

  • Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

    All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Since your last update, text on all printed documents is too small to read. Spoke to Kodak and it is not my ESP7250 printer as everything prints fine with Internet Explorer

    I cannot read anything printed from the internet using your browser. The text is microscopic.

    First, try the printer reset described in this thread:
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/680315 Recently unable to print from Firefox after update-- can print from everything else. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
    Does that help? You also might want to check your scaling setting under File > Page Setup (if the old menu bar is not displayed, press F10 to call it up).

  • Printing problem in 2 programs started 2 days ago, only firefox ,works fine with Internet Explorer?

    Banking web site has a "Print - Friendly View", text on the upper right side of the page which prints out the account information in a different format if you click on the text. All other print functions work ok. The problem is not their when using Internet Explorer. The other program is at Aflacs Web site, and the problem is very similar. When I click on the text that says "Print copy of Invoice" nothing happens, just like the bank text. They both work perfect with Internet Explorer. The problem started about 2 days ago. When it works right, a window will open up and show you what it is going to print and you click on the "print" text, and it prints. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Joe Anderson

  • In Firefox, can't attach files to Yahoo Mail outgoing messages. Yahoo Mail works fine in Internet Explorer though.

    Since yesterday, when I switched from Comcast to AT&T as my broadband internet connection, I have not been able to attach files to my Yahoo mail messages using Mozilla Firefox. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer, but my default browser is Firefox by choice. Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? Can you help me resolve it?

    Not helpful. 'clearing Firefox's cache' is not helpful, since 'cache' doesn't show up in any of the Firefox pulldown menu choices (wasted time looking for that), and the plethora of things 'recent' and 'history' to choose to act on in these menus is also a possible waste of time, not to mention removing useful info for no reason.
    I, too, have had this problem 'intermittently' for many months, always involving the 'first' file to attach in a Yahoo! email, and I've always used this workaround OK: click on the filename showing as 'being attached' (while Yahoo's doohickey round spinner denoting 'in progress' whirls and whirls to no effect) and use "Remove File"; THEN, REPEAT 'attach file' task & it then works, if slowly. After that for the same email, attaching add'l files NEVER HAS A PROBLEM.
    SO, now today, without any software update yet (I've downloaded Firefox v.11 & will install shortly), at numerous attempts during the day, I CANNOT get the FIRST file to attach in a Yahoo! email. Simply, utterly, frustrating without any rhyme or reason. "Everything else, on plethora of sites, working fine."
    thanks.

  • Netflix Instant Play will not work with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer

    When I log in to Netflix, I cannot play instant movies from my Queue. I called Netflix and they said to reset my router. I did this and now Netflix Instant play works with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
    I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

  • With or without add-ons, and after removing/reloading Firefox, some sites behave badly, though they're fine with Internet Explorer.

    The computer in question is running Vista. With Firefox 8, some websites, e.g. Whitepages.com, livefreept.com, behave badly. Spedifically, they require the user to click on tabs. But the tabs don't appear at all. I upgraded to Firefox 10, to no effect. The sites work fine on this same computer with Internet Explorer, and on both our XP and Windows 7 computers using older older versions of Firefox. All three are using the same Norton Internet Security program, with the same settings. Starting in safe mode, with no add-ons has no effect. Help!

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
    * Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    ** '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Amazon "look inside" feature has stopped working for me on Firefox (used to work in the past; not sure when it stopped). The feature works fine on Internet Explorer 8.0 when browing the exact same books on Amazon. I'm running Win 7 64bit. Thanks.

    After pressing "look inside", the loading message continues indefinitely. Sometimes, I get the message "server timeout".
    Internet Explorer 8.0 loads the "look inside" pages instantly for the exact same Amazon books.
    I have been running Win 7 64 bit for about 9 months. I believe the Amazon feature worked initially. Was running XP and Firefox prior to Win 7 and never had this problem. Used the "look inside" feature many times.

    I believe I found the issue with this.
    The IP Address that this server was sending out emails from, was at one point, blacklisted. So I changed the server to use our email gateway IP instead, and SMS Messages are being sent through now.

  • Tiscali mail works fine with Internet explorer saying "you have 3 new mails in your inbox", with Firefox 5.0 it says "you have undefined new mails in your inbox". I cannot proceed beyond this point. Please advise david.tose@tiscali.co.uk

    Internet Explorer + Tiscali mail gives message "you have 3 new mails in your inbox (18% full)". Mail interaction OK
    Firefox 5.0 (freshly installed) + Tiscali mail gives message "you have undefined new mails in your inbox''. From here I cannot proceed.
    Is there a mail handler problem that causes Firefox 5.0 to fail?

    Yep, exactly the same problem only on W2K SP4. Firefox5 doesn't work but IE (on the same machine) does.
    Sorry, I'm not sure what version version of IE is being used.
    (It's the PC at work that has the problem and I'm writing this at home on my linux box which has Firefox version 3.6.18 for linux mint - which also works fine.)
    I really hope this can be fixed soon.
    Andy.

  • Sound Doesn't Play on Firefox.... It works fine on internet explorer. I made sure that it was not muted in the sound board. Please help!!!!

    My sound works with everything else accept Firefox.

    Hi,

  • I cannot open my banking page or open PDF's from any mozilla browser. All of my applications work fine in Internet Explorer. This has only started happening for the last week or so.

    Whenever I try to access my banking information on firefox it only downloads a small portion of the display page. Also, when I try to open a PDF nothing happens when using firefox. I have the latest version of Adobe.

    Hi Chris,
    Well, I tried to delete the Caches and I threw all the .plist files related to microsoft in the trash -- athough I don't know if this is the way to delete files but I haven't found another yet....
    From your other suggestions, it seems to me that you have the impression that I want to stop using Microsoft Office (it was 2007, I made a mistake) though... but this is not the case.
    So... tell me if I misunderstood correctly or if I did anything wrong, or if you have anything else to suggest...
    Thanks a lot anyways!

  • Is anyone using PAM for archiving e-mail? I am having trouble opening archived e-mail attachments using Firefox. I know the reason for this is part of the url gets left out when using Firefox. Works fine with Internet Explorer.

    This part of the path https://mail.domain.org/owa/ (see below) when place in allows Firefox to open the attachment.

    Autodiscover service on Exchange seems to be ok from the result of testing. We might change our mind and check if this is a network issue.
    If you are using Windows 7 or higher version OS, try to run the following command in CMD to disable the Autotuning function:
    Netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

  • Many website will not open pdf files with firefox yet the same pages work fine with internet explorer default app

    Typically, I have to use the default android internet app to view pdf files on my android. The last page I tried was my progressive website to view my policy documents. Firefox just does nothing when I click on a pdf file. When I go to the download folder, the file is there but has 0kb size (or empty). The default android app goes right to download and shows up in the top android status menu showing it is downloading.
    This problem has been around for a long time now and is still not resolved.

    Here is one I just tried. It works on my ipad2. When using my android, the file shows up in the download folder, but as usual it is an empty file. Even when the pop for "view file in cloud viewer" is choosen, it loads a blank page.
