Firefox 15 keeps on downloading YouTube videos after I close the video page

Since I have the last Firefox 15 update, I noticed Firefox keeps on downloading the video on YouTube after I close the video page or when I go back to previous page and this until the video is over. This did not used to happen with Firefox 14, so I installed Firefox 14 until this problem is fixed.

The Shockwave and Java applications may need 'PLUGIN UPDATE' for newer versions. Suggest a check for any outdated PLUGIN UPDATE found from the Mozilla Firefox Toolbar 'Help' Menu > 'Firefox Help' > [lower right margin displays link to more info to review and 'UPDATE PLUGIN's!

Out of the blue, Firefox keeps forgetting my Options settings, and I see the Welcome page each time. Profile manager IS being used.

For the past three days, Firefox opens as if for the first time - forgetting all the Options setting I save each time. This is a waste of my time and money. It operated for years correctly.

It is important to keep software updated to the latest versions to receive security updates. 
Using old versions and Firefox 3.5.8 is also 5 versions behind on the current 3.5.13 version makes you more vulnerable than necessary to security vulnerabilities.
See:

Many plugins have full system access and being behind on updates of those can have more serious implications.

Plugin-Container keeps playing video sound after I close the tab/window

Plugin-Container keeps playing video sound after I close the tab/window. I have to shut down the process to make the sound stop.

Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
(Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

P.S. "scoobidiver" in the contributors forum just posted the following:
Since Firefox 9, all issues with slow Flash content or hangs in the French support forum have been caused by the Ask toolbar although users have uninstalled it with the Windows Removing Program feature. Sometimes, they don't even know it was installed.

'''EDIT:''' If the Ask Toolbar is installed, try these removal instructions, which link to a ToolbarUtilityTool.exe removal tool:

Why doesn't firefox keep my download preferences?

I'm running firefox 9.0.1 on OS X lion 10.7.2. I'm having trouble with firefox keeping my download preferences. When I download a file and set it to be opened with a program (e.g. .ris files with my citation manager endnote x5) and tick the box for firefox to always do this with this type of file it does not work. Next time I open a similar file I have to select the program again. Any idea why & how to make it work?

What do I do?I can open youtube but could not play the video's? I can play the video in youtube when I use Explorer.

I have updated to Firefox 14.01 and Java.
I could open youtube but could not play the video's.
But when I use Internet Explorer the video in youtube is fine.
What should I do?

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings.

FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing everytime I am in the middle of viewing a site content. It drives me nut!

FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing when I am in the middle of viewing content on a certain site like http://affiliate-resources.info for information to use, it drives me nut!
I love using FireFox as my default browser, but lately, with it always & constantly updating itself to new version that, I don't see any improvement, but only bring headaches and pissed me off especially in the middle of checking out something online and all of a sudden, everything just freezes, and the only way for me to continue was to run my CTRL+alt+DELETE button to stop the running of FireFox because it is not responding.
This really sucks. I have been using FireFox as my default browser for years, and I do think that it's the best browser in the world, but man, I sure wish the people at mozilla.org would stop updating FireFox to become a non-working-browser. I just don't see it got any better, but only got worser!
The best FireFox version, to me, was FireFox 3.6 version. I loved using it, but it's not available anymore.
Is there a way I can continue to use FireFox 3.6?
Thanks.

It is possible to install and run Firefox 3.6, but it is not advisable as it is out of date and not secure. If you are doing webdesign you will presumably mainly wish to test the latest versions of Firefox rather than an insecure version that is used but only a very small minority of users.
* see [[Install an older version of Firefox]] (The article cautions against use of previous versions, but then provides a download link)

If you suffer from crashes see
* [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
If you have corporate users as clients they may be using Firefox ESR which has a longer period between major upgrades

Why wont firefox load after i close the window ? it tells me it is already running in the background and to close that window before opening again. took 10 tries before it would load again !

this has been going on for some time. 2 months maybe. i can hear the hard drive winding up/down after i close the window, and then comes a long narrow blue window stating what i have written.

See
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
Try closing any running instances of ''firefox.exe'' (and plugincontainer.exe) using something such as Task Manager. That should allow you to then restart Firefox.
As for iLivid. Possibly it also has associated apps or extensions with names not including the word iLivid. Looking at their own FAQs there are instructions to remove iLivid using the Windows Control panel, and mention of other bundled software that you may wish to remove. It seems it is more of a nuisacne rahter than out and out malware.
* see http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm (page scrolls for more info) but includes:
How do I uninstall the software?
The software can be removed in a simple was like any other software:
Go to the Windows Start menu and then to Control Panel > Add/Remove ("Programs & Features" in Vista & Windows 7) and click "Remove" next to the software name (e.g iLivid Download manager / Windows iLivid Toolbar ).
During the installation bundle software are offered, each can easily be removed following those instructions: Uninstall Yontoo Addon , Uninstall Search Toolbar (powered by Bing) or Uninstall Babylon.

Video is Digital like motion after I reversed the video??

Video is Digital like motion after I reversed the video image? Any solutions. Thanks

The you tube app isles entry optimized for the iPhone. When you use it on your ipad stuff is scaled up and looks fuzzy.
I suggest trying a different app like Jasmine to view YouTube videos on your iPad.

Youtube suggested videos are showing over the video playing??

When i go to youtube, i can't see the video playing properly and can't see the quality settings icon for the youtube suggested videos are showing over the video playing. Really annoying, i have to double click to fullscreen to change the quality settings. How do i fix this?

These installations and settings work for me:
How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

After I close the browser, it will not reopen for a while. I receive a message stating that firefox is still running. I can open IE at this point, but firefox is disabled for about 10 minutes

After I close the firefox browser, I cannot repoen the program. There is an error message to the effect that the program is still running. I cannot access it withthe ALT TAB command and I dont see the program active in the task bar. I can run IE at that time and get back to the web, but Firefox wont open for several minutes-not sure how long. I wait a while and I can back to the browser. That's all I can tell you unless you have specific questions Thanks BB

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
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
If that 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.

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

Open a page by Firefox 5.0 then copy some texts. Close the Firefox. Try to paste texts somewhere else. Firefox can't keep data alive in windows XP clipboard...

As I've already asked
Why Firefox 5.0 can't keep data alive in Windows XP pro + SP3 ?
Just test it as follows:
1- Open a page by Firefox 5.0
2- Copy some texts
3- Close the Firefox 5.0
4- Try to paste texts somewhere else (notepad, etc.)
There is no data in clipboard if you close the Firefox 5.0

'''''"I created a second profile called Shopping. I imported the extensions from my default profile into it."'''''
If you used Sync to do that "import", disable Sync for at least one of those Profiles.
</blockquote>
Thank you for your suggestion. I have Sync enabled for all the profiles. To my surprise, however, Sync was of no use in getting Default's extension collection into Shopping. For that I had to resort to the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox.
I will try disabling Sync on Shopping.

Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.
