Facebook and youtube videos don't work on firefox. (Vimeo does & videos work on chrome and opera)

When I try to open an video in youtube or facebook the player just goes black and white.
With google chrome and opera I don't got any problems..

Hello,
Starting in Firefox 23, if a secure page includes certain types of insecure content, Firefox blocks the insecure content and a shield icon will appear in the address bar. See this article for more information about the new mixed content blocker: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]
To temporarily allow the mixed content to be displayed:
*Click the '''shield icon''' [[Image:Mixed Content Shield]] in the address bar and choose '''Disable Protection on This Page''' from the dropdown menu.
[[Image:Fx23MixedContentBlocker]]
To allow insecure content to be displayed in all secure pages, enter '''about:config''' in the address bar and double-click on this preference, to toggle it from true to false:
'''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''
You can also use this add-on instead, to toggle the preference:
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggle-mixed-active-content/ Toggle Mixed active content] add-on
You may want to do this only for the current session, then reset the preference back to "true" and check back with the site to see whether it's been fixed, since this is a global setting that exposes you on all sites, not just the one you care about.
Let us know if this helps!

  • Whenever I watch a youtube video on Google Chrome and even Safari and I decide to maximize the video, my dock will not disappear. Instead it covers the streaming area of the video. How can I fix this to where the dock disappears when I am watching a maxim

    Question: When you refer to an app here --
    ''I've been able to recreate this bug every time by opening a stream in one tab, any other page in the other and then starting the app - freeze every time.''
    -- is that a completely unrelated application outside of Firefox, or something in another Firefox window or tab?

    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.

  • Random videos on youtube just don't work and give off an error message. I've reinstalled and reset firefox and still nothing.

    Lately some random videos that I try to watch just don't even try to load and instantly give off the "There was an error during playback" message I open it in IE and it works fine no problem. I've been trying to fix it on my own from reinstalling firefox or resetting it to trying a new profile. I wasn't getting this problem until I had to reinstall firefox to get myth-weavers.com to work. Ever since I freshly reinstalled firefox some videos have not work.
    -Not blocked by isp
    -Videos are often from the same uploader.
    -seems like every 4 or 5 videos is down.
    -I went to try and update my plugins in stuff and this was found http://imgur.com/bGWnrSf
    -not sure what to do about above.
    -my java is up to date.

    Hi Fayko, a couple of other users are reporting this problem, too.
    Did you notice any difference in Safe Mode? To spell that out a bit more: Firefox's Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
    Regarding your Java plugins, the "Deployment" one might not be updateable but the regular Java SE is. You can use the link on the plugin check page or [http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp]. But Youtube doesn't use the Java plugin, so that would just be for sites that do.

  • YouTube links don't work with email

    I have a gmail account as well as a Frontiernet.net email account on my iPad 2.  If I'm sent an email with a YouTube link in it the entire email blanks out on me and all text because an unusable link, like this:
    9-99671-1344651253-emailname=[email protected]

    Any ideas on how to fix this?  Thanks!

    Hello again
    I'm not saying you are full of squash, just that I'm unable
    to duplicate it using my own copy of RoboHelp 6. I tested by
    linking an image to a different topic with no browse sequence in
    the mix. Compiling and testing. Then creating a Browse Sequence and
    recompiling and testing again. Mine worked.
    This is a bit of VooDoo, but you might wish to try defining a
    totally new window, configuring that as the default and compiling
    again. See if that changes things.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Navigation buttons don't work in Chrome

    Hi,
    I have 6 navigation buttons across the top of my page (Home, About Us, Services, Your Policy, Why Choose Us and Contact Us). Two of the buttons have sub menus (About Us and Your Policy) which appear when I hover. From the home page the sub menus do not appear, if I click another nav button ie Services then the submenus appear when I hover and I can pick a menu item. As long as I do not click the Home button all is well. I click’ ‘Home’ the subs don’t appear again.
    This doesn’t happen in IE but in Chrome and Safari.
    I am using Dreamweaver 5.5
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Safari problem after viewing youtube video

    I've been having a problem with Safari after following links from Facebook to youtube videos. After viewing the video and returning to Safari I only see the address bar. If I minimise the Safari window I get a screen that's 90-95% white with just the top edge of the minimised windows showing. My only workaround is to kill Safari and reload.
    Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution to it? I'm wondering if it's a memory related issue.

    I have occasional safari-memory issues where I have to kill the background apps and safari to get full function back.
    I either:
    1) kill all apps and reset the ipad with home/power reset.
    2) Kill all apps and run "System Activity Monitor"
    The second option I started doing last week and so far, it seems to work OK.
    Mine is an iPad-1.....

    Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
    If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
    <br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
    <br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
    Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems.

  • Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

    When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
    I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
    Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
    Thank you

  • Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

    I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

    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.

  • Youtube videos do not play and gchat sounds do not work

    These problems are only in Firefox.  Allow me to elaborate.
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit laptop, Firefox 13.0 and the latest Adobe Flash Player installed.  What's strange is that I think the videos worked fine two or three days ago, but now the videos don't work.  I thought this was a minor glitch, then I noticed that I wasn't getting chat notification sounds on gchat in Firefox.  So I went in the settings and it said that sounds were linked to Flash player.  I looked up Flash player and installed the latest one, still no change.  I then uninstalled flash player and reinstalled.  Still, no dice.
    The youtube video problem is rather strange; I've never seen it before.  The black box appears, and below it are the normal volume controls, video controls, play, etc.  Inside the black box is the play button, with the white triangle in a red box pointing to the right.  Like I said, I've never seen this before, so I decided to click it since my videos weren't playing.  I click it, and all I get is "An error occurred.  Please try again later".  I do the normal clear cache/cookies, restart browser, still no dice.
    Everything works fine in google chrome.  It's just firefox that's giving me these problems.  If anyone has suggestions, please let me know!
    Thanks in advance.
    Edit: oh, and on the adobe page where you can test to see if your adobe flash player is working, all I get is blank spaces where the video or animation is supposed to be.  Facebook sounds seem to work too.  But in Tetris battle, I get "Errors on Loading File: Facebookmainframe.swf. Retry..."

    I too have the same issue with Firefox and flash videos.  I haven't tried to use other browser yet, but I will when I finish this.  I first saw this yesterday with Firefox 12.0; same issue with FF 13.0 now.  No video anywhere will play, from YouTube to TMZ!  I either get an error "error occurred try again later", or the area on the page where the video should be is blank.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe items several times.  Control Panel says they are installed and Flash Manager in CP is OK, but when I go ONLINE to verify or check version, the page is blank.  Likewise is the Online Flash Settings Manager.  I have tried flushing FF cache, cookies, reset and Safe Mode - all yields zip!  It all worked Ok last week.  This is just starting either today or last day or so.  The ONLY possible cause that I can find is that Windows published about 25 "security" and "NET Framework" updates on June 12, 13, and 14.  I suspect the cause might lie there.  Last time I check with forums over 500 people were looking for solution to this issue and that number is just in last 24 and it's steadily climbing.  I think this is pretty pandemic for Firefox and Flash whatever the cause.  If it isn't fixed it will KILL Firefox (maybe that's somebody's goal? - I can see Microsoft/Windows doing something like that to remove competition with their IE browser!).
    I tried to talk to Adobe Tech about it, but got stone walled.  I posted on Firefox forum, but got nothing back that was useful.  Like most I am running Win 7 HP x64.  I am also using Norton 360 and have set the Firewall there to FULL ALLOW for all Adobe and even tried turning it OFF for a while with no luck.
    At this point, I am fully lost.  I have flushed, deleted, reinstalled, updated, disabled, verified, tested, safe moded and God knows what else all without any luck.  I guess I am going to start using Chrome;  I really hate IE9. (Sorry, Microsoft, suck a big one ) .  I am @OldeGreyWoolf on Twitter; if you find a solution, please drop me a tweet!  I'll do the same!  By tomorrow, I figure there will be thousands of users in this same box.  Maybe then someone, some where will come up with a solution!  Feel free to copy and paste this post any where/every where.

  • I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

    I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
    When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
    The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
    Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
    <Edited By Host>

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
