Crashed when watching youtube in Firefox

clean install Yosemite on mid 2014 MacBook Retina 15" first time in my life it crashes while watching YouTube - shutted down and restarted.

Firefox is known to be incompatible with some graphics card driver software; it's a moving target due to driver updates...
Other than rolling forward or rolling back the drivers and finding a compatible fit, the best workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox.

  • When watching Youtube clips firefox causes windown blue screen - windows 7 on HP8540w

    Hi
    HP8540w laptop with Windows7 professional.
    when watching youtube clips windows crashes - blue screen of death!
    watching the same clips in Internet explorer doesn't cause a crash - isolated to Firefox.

    See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

  • Can someone advise me why safari keeps crashing when watching youtube videos?

    Safari report after the crash states that something may be wrong with my flashplayer plug-in 10.4 and 10.5.
    First of all I cant update to that version because I have the imac 10.5.8 ios and can only upgrade to 10.3 version so why is it giving me that message???
    I have yet to find an explanation nor a solution for this so if anyone thinks they have an answer I will be more than grateful to hear it.

    You have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and the log is showing a problem with the NVIDIA GPU. "GPU Panic" means a GPU issue.
    Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro have got a defective NVIDIA GPU that may cause unexpected restarts, black screens, kernel panics... Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Apple is repairing all of these MacBooks Pro for free if they were purchased less than 3 years ago, so make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. I recommend you to print the log

  • When watching Youtube, there is no picture, but on Internet Explorer there is. How come?

    When opening YouTube in Firefox there is sound, but the picture immediately disappears. On Internet Explorer there are no problems.
    It might have to do with updating of Firefox some week ago.

    I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
    How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
    Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
    If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?

    No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
    Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

  • Iphone 4: pixilated image when watching YouTube

    Since the last update (4.1) I have horrible image quality when watching YouTube or Vevo...Anyone has any idea of what is going on?
    Thanks

    The mobile youtube page accessed through safari plays video perfectly over 3G, while the native app reduces the quality so much much that text on the video is basically unreadalbe.
    I don't understand why apple limits the quality so much through the app when 3g is more than adequate to play higher quality. What's the point of a native app when it performs this poorly.

  • When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video.

    When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?

    Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
    If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
    "Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be.

  • When watching youtube on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.

    When watching Youtube videos on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.
    The videos load, but not with buffer (obvious when video is paused).
    I'm using Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (Non-IE) 64-bit
    Works fine on IE9 with Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (for IE) 64-bit

    Installed & enabled "Greasemonkey" (non-related to this issue), now it's buffering !?!
    This is ridiculous.

  • BSOD when watching YouTube on Lenovo Y580

    Hi,
    I'm new to the Lenovo forum, but I've had my Lenovo Y580 for a long time and it hasn't given me many problems until recently. Around 4 days ago, I was watching YouTube on Google Chrome when I realized that around 60% of the time before a video starts, I would get something along the lines of "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback" for a 1/4 of a second, before the video would start. After watching 5-6 YouTube videos the computer froze, went to a black screen for 5 seconds, before it said "Display Driver stopped working and has recovered", and it said something about Intel drivers. 
    I brushed this off, but the next day while watching YouTube again, the computer froze, but this time the mouse disappeared shortly after and I was greeted with my first BSOD since I bought this computer in December 2012. It said something along the lines of "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and this happened another 3 times, all after watching a couple of YouTube videos. So I finally got fed up and looked that error up, and it said memory was bad. So I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic a couple of times and it says that memory is okay. I then installed new NVIDIA and Intel Graphics drivers, and I am still getting the same crashes. I am unsure what to do right now because this only happens when I watch YouTube, for instance if I watch some YouTube the computer will crash after 30 minutes, whereas I can play BF4 for hours straight without it skipping a beat. Obviously I have been using YouTube for a long time so for this just to start happening now puzzles me. I also forgot to mention that this happens usually right after I exit the video.
    Thanks for your support.

    Good day.
    You mention Chrome. Do you have the same difficulties with YouTube in other browsers (FF or IE)?

  • Computer shuts off when watching YouTube on Safari

    My computer has simply shut itself off several times now, and each time it happened, it was when I was watching YouTube videos with Safari version 5.06.
    A few times beforehand, Safari has crashed while on YouTube, and I got an error message saying something may be wrong with a Flash 10.4-10.5 plugin.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • ITunes 10.0.0.68 Crash when watching purchased iStore content (TV) Vista 64

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10. I'm running on a Vista 64 bit machine. I have a number of dvd/blue ray ecopies in my library, along with content from CDs I've purchased, and an iPhone 3GS. This weekend I purchased my first TV season from the iStore (this was after iTunes upgrade to 10.x was applied). I purchased the HD version of the TV shows. So, yes, 2 versions were downloaded. As I understand it, the HD version plays on my computer and the lower res version is used for the iPhone (or other portable devices).
    While watching the TV content after it downloaded, I experienced a series of iTunes crashes. When this occurred, the OS reported a DEP error. Of course, you can't set the DEP to not run with iTunes.exe - the system reports that DEP must run with iTunes. It's not clear to me if this is by design on Apple's side or not. So, disabling DEP when running iTunes is not an option for a Vista user.
    I've spent the last several hours reading a number of forum posts, including several from this site. I did uninstall everything, per an article on the Apple support site and referenced a couple of times by B Noir as well. It seemed reasonable and when I looked at the Programs installed, I noticed that the installation date for the Bonjour service and Apple Software Update was different than the iTunes. This may not have mattered, but I've seen stranger stuff. I tried a repair of QuickTime before taking this great leap, but this had no effect. I did follow the complete steps as listed, including checking for stray residue after the uninstall ran. I did run a registry sweep after the uninstall and rebooted the system.
    iTunes continues to crash when viewing purchased TV show content after all of these steps. As I have nothing to compare it with as far as the performance of previous versions of iTunes with purchased TV show content, I can't say with authority it is strictly an iTunes 10.x event. However, having watched more than 30 minutes of 3 different movies I have in my library (from the ecopy of dvd/blue ray), and playing several cd tracks, I believe I can state that this iTune crash only occurs with purchased content - TV shows in my case.
    My iPhone 3GS syncs fine. In fact, I was able to place one of the TV shows on the phone and it plays just fine on the phone. Of course, that is the low-res version.

    There are a series of Bonjour Service errors in the Application log as well. All of these occur after the iTunes Application Error and Windows Error Reporting are logged. At this point, I assume they are related to the iTunes crash -
    EventData
    440: ERROR: read_msg errno 10054 (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)
    It seems like this problem is occurring for many Vista and Windows 7 64 bit users (with regard to iTunes crashing when trying to play purchased content) and I'm hoping that power users in this forum can take this more detailed report of the problem and figure it out - or convince the Apple team to address it. I'd be glad to try any suggestions or provide logs if desired (let me know where to look for the logs if applicable).

    Odd ... that BEX error citing the QuickTimePlayer.dll (like the DEP errors and the unknown module for the iTunes errors) also suggests old, misplaced QuickTime componentry. But the lack of any QuickTime Player launch errors, or at least relentless "software out of date" messages, speaks against that possibility.
    ... I think we'd better check for old, misplaced QuickTime componentry anyway, just in case. (The symptom-set for that sort of trouble is in a constant state of flux anyway, so the lack of launch errors probably can't be taken as conclusively speaking against it.)
    First we'll need to adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now we'll go looking for old QuickTime stuff in the most likely locations for it to show up.
    In Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files or folders with QuickTime in the file or folder name can you see in there? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.

  • Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos

    Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
    It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
    I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
    Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
    Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.

    Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
    What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
    Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on.
