Cannot play flickr videos on firefox, works on other browsers. using mac 10.8.4 with latest versions of firefox and flash

Firefox is my preferred browser but it drives me nuts that I cannot play flickr videos... have upgraded to latest version of firefox for Mac... have new Imac with 10.8.4... also upgraded to latest version of flash.. nothing I do seems to work... help

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Using mac os 10.4, downloaded latest version of firefox only to find that it isn't compatible with this system. how do i get the previous version back?

Notification for an update appeared, I proceeded with the update, attempted to start up the new version and was told it is not compatible with mac os 10.4, the version I am currently using. How can I get the former version of firefox back so that I can continue using this application?

My Lingualeo add-on works wrong with latest versions of Firefox

Hi! This add-on allows to translate English words into Russian and remember them to study later as shown in attached screenshot. After latest upgrades of Firefox it doesn't show list of possible translations, so I can't pick any translation and remember it. I have installed Firefox 34.0 and this fixed my problem. Can I do something to make lingualeo work properly with latest version of Firefox?

Sorry if my formulation was incorrect. I'm not a developer of this add-on, I'm just its user and it helped me to study English :) Can I do anything as a user (except downgrading Firefox)?

Using XP Professional SP 3 with latestest version of Firefox, the US Airways web site will not work properly. I can still make it work with MS IE

I am using XP Professional SP 3 with newest version of Firefox, the US Airways web site does not work. I can make the site work with MS Internet Exp. What do I need to change to make Firefox work?

Can you clarify in which way the site isn't working?
Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page is still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now"

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?

You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

Why is Hotmail Calendar not working with latest version of Firefox

I was prompted to load the 'latest' version of Firefox this morning, which I duly did. Since then my Hotmail account has worked fine for send and receive but I cannot access my calendar. Screen simply says "loading...." and never actually loads.
I have shut my lap top down fully and rebooted but the situation remains the same.
I have 2 Hotmail accounts and this problem is the same for both. Please could you advise.

iSight is the camera. I expect you mean that Skype will not recognize the camera.
(1) Did you restart Mac and try again?
(2) Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after installing Skype?
(3) Because Skype is your only problem app, have you checked Skype support such as
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10931/ and
https://support.skype.com/en-us/category/VIDEO/
There are Skype-specific tips there that may help you.
Do NOT add any drivers. All needed iSight driver software is included in your OS X 10.6.8
You can also search Skype's dedicated forum for Mac http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac
(4) Your first download or install may have been faulty. If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest Skype version again and reinstalling? Remember to repair permissions before and after the reinstall.

BBC Radio iPlayerwill not work with latest version of Firefox.

I have updated all necessary software (Flashplayer, etc.) and am forced to use Internet Explorer to listen to BBC Radio. Earlier versions of Firefox do not have this problem. I am not a computer programer, just a user. I have used Firefox for years and been able to listened to BBC Radio for years. I've read all the advice on various Firefox fora and not found anything useful in solving this problem. It seems to be a problem intrinsic to the latest version of Firefox itself. Will this problem be fixed in the near future? It seems to have been going on for the better part of a year in both the US and UK. If not, why not?
My expertise is in chemistry, not computers. I need a browser that works. I'd like that browser to be Firefox, but I don't have any more time to spend on trying to fix this problem. Using two different browsers is not working for me. Please fix this.

Before I suggest you to revert back to Firefox 28.
Try this
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Cannot print with HP Officejet 6100 with latest version of Firefox

Since I received the latest version of Firefox I cannot print anything that's online. I'm using Windows 7.

Thank you for your help. When I try the "reset firefox printer setting" and type "print" in the search field, I get the settings for the two previous computers and the current one. If I type "print-printer", I get a blank page. Also the menu button disappears. If I click on the setting, "delete" is not one of the options. If I try to"reset all firefox printer setting" and click on "show folder" under application basics, a list of files and folders opens. the prefs.js file is only 23KB (JScript Script File) long and cannot be opened, so I cannot remove any lines that start with "print".

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11; What version of Firefox is compatible and where can I get it?

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11. I keep getting Firefox upgrade offers, and then the notices that the new upgrades are not compatible with OS 10.4.11. is my security compromised without being able to use the "latest" Firefox upgrades?

Hi JohnHoik,
The latest version of Firefox that will run on your OS is FF 3. You can find the latest version of the 3.x series here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Hopefully this helps!

Can't play movie in IE but works in other browsers - HELP

Hello. I've managed to get my homepage movie to play in
Safari and Firefox but it will not play at all in Internet
Explorer. All I get is a white box where the movie should be. When
I right click, it says movie not loaded. I've read posts with
similar issues but still can't get mine to work. Not sure if it's
my PC as I am running Vista and am having the hardest time
confirming that the Flash Plugin has been loaded in IE. Can someone
help me out??? Much appreciated...

in the embed parameter the path of the swf is
"/images/Movie.swf"
But this is different in param ,it is only "Movie.swf".
Please change the value.

Flash no longer works with latest version of Firefox and Flash on my iMac?

I keep getting the "You need to install or upgrade Flash player..." many times when I try to watch a Flash video. Well, it is already installed.
Also, on those sites where it might work, first I get a greyed screen with a place for me to click. When I click, I sometimes see the video.

Videos/trailers on IMDb dont play at all, whereas they do on other browsers, any suggestions?...I have minimal add-ons and have practically just stated with the RC

Trailers work fine with chrome, only add-ons I have are ghoster, omnibar, speed dial and tab utilities

Problem solved...It was the ghostery add-on, which is a shame

Since I installed on my Mac os10.6 to the latest version of Firefox I am getting error beeps when I try to type. It won't let me re-type or delete anything

I can type but if I make a mistake and want to retype or delete what I've typed it just beeps at me and won't allow me to type. I can use the cut and paste feature to fix things but what a complete hassle. How do I fix this annoying problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.
