Firefox and opera freeze after update.

Hi,
I updated he system last night and since then neither of firefox, firefox nightly or opera will play and video. I tried Cnn and Youtube. Both cause the browsers to freeze totally. It's not KDE because I also tried under E17 and it happens there as well.  Anyone got any ideas?? 
BTW, I run pacman Suy daily so it's some thing that was dropped into release yesterday.
Thanks

My system is completely up to date and I'm using x264-git and I still have this problem.  Any other ideas?
Edit
Updated kernel 2.6.28.3-1 today(02/02/09) and the problem just disappeared.  Strange.  Perhaps a kernel rebuild is what does the trick?
Edit2:
Nevermind.  Happening again.
Edit3:
Ok fixed it finally.  Turned out i was missing some sound modules in rc.conf.  Used hwdetect to get the appropriate ones.

  • Is anyone experience reboots and screen freezing after updating to 7.1 on iPod Touch 5?

    Is anyone experience the same thing? It's almost impossible to use my device now as those bugs occur each 10 minutes or so, and does Apple pretend to fix it on a future update?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                        
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Movie freeze on site re-visit in Firefox and Opera

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to flash development. I've done a movie that is
    about 1.5MB in size. I created a pre-loader that just flips from
    frame 1 to 2 until the percentage complete is greater than 99%.
    On Internet Explorer 7 the movie works fine every time. If
    you've visited the site before the pre-loader is skipped and the
    movie starts from frame 3.
    With Firefox and Opera something strange happens. The first
    time you visit the site it all works perfectly. When you go back to
    the website without clearing the internet cache, the pre-loader
    doesn't work it just stops at a given percentage and then a pop-up
    says a script is causing flash 8 to run slowly.
    Does anyone know what causes this? I've seen posts that
    recommend putting a few extra frames in and adding a hi-res image
    to them to give the pre-loader something to do, but this doens't
    seem to work. It just increases the movie size!
    Any help what-so-ever would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I found the cause of the problem. The server was compressing the swf file to reduce bandwidth and setting Content-Encoding: gzip. This means that Firefox and Opera receive the file but you have to right and click play to play the file or do a refresh. The solution is to change the server settings not to compress swf files. However I cannot understand why it should work in IE but not firefox or opera.

  • Ctrl+Shift do not shift between languages in Firefox and Opera browers

    Pressing Ctrl+Shift on the keyboard do not shift between languages when typing in Firefox and Opera browsers, but it works fine in Word and other applications. I have Windows XP SP3. My browsers are updated.

    Firefox has menu items that use the Shift and Ctrl modifier keys (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Z = Redo) and those can interfere, especially when typing in a text area.
    You might have more luck with Alt and Shift instead.
    Try to assign different keyboard shortcuts to each of the installed languages instead of using a key sequence to cycle between installed language layouts.

  • Flash player does not properly install on Firefox and Opera.

    Requirement for flash player just randomly started popping up on Firefox and Opera. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall flash player, reset computer then install again, but the installer finishes then when the web browser pops up to confirm in says:
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Windows Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    Shockwave flash isn't installed in plugins but videos do load. On this "Flash Player Help" the animation does not load but videos on youtube does load and work.
    Does anyone know a solution for this?
    Thanks
    Joseph Park

    Hi Joface333,
    Please do the following:
    Close all browsers and apps that may use Flash Player (e.g. instant messaging clients, Pandora and the like).
    Run the uninstaller posted at the bottom of the Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs page
    Reboot the machine
    After logging back in, check the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macroemd\Flash directory.FlashInstall.log file should exist in both directories.  mms.cfg file should only exist in the 'syswow64' directory.  Depending on what other Adobe software, if any, you have installed there may be other CFG files and a FlashPlayerTrust directory.  If there are other Flash Player files listed, take a screen-shot and post them using the instructions previously provided.
    Run the installers posted to the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    If there are any errors, take a screen-shot of the error dialog and upload the screen-shot and the FlashInstall.log file from both 'system32' and 'syswow64' directories using the instructions previously provided.

  • Wifi on iPad freeZing after update

    wwifi keeps freezing after update.

    Hey F.hodgkiss,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,

    None if these crash reports seem to have been send.
    Do you have crash reports with a "bp-" prefix that were submitted and that show a crashing thread?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

  • Keyboard and trackpad freeze after being idle for a few minutes

    I have a early 2008 MBP and just today the keyboard and trackpad freeze after not using it for a few minutes.  I was at work when it happened.  I plugged it in and started doing something else and a few minutes later came back and i couldn't move the mouse or do anything with the keyboard, but processes were still running.  For example, I have a fan speed app that sits in the toolbar, and it was still showing current fan speed.  So I restarted it, and it did it again.  So the next time it happened, I closed the lid and opened it up and it fixed it.  It's happened several times now after a few minutes of non use and I just close the lid and it fixes it.  Also, there was a period when I was using my computer for a couple of hours non stop and it didn't have a problem.  Only when I'm not touching the keyboard or trackpad does it do it.  since this keeps happening i have verified the disk in disk utility, done a hardware reset with cmd+opt+p+r, ran through system profiler to see if there were any problems with no results, and it still does it.  Anyone have any ideas?
    It should be noted that not only does the battery not work for more than about 2 minutes, the left I/O board appears to be dying.  The power chord takes a considerable amount of wiggling and adjusting before it finds a place where it will actually charge. The audio out and the USB on that side are the same way. So I am aware of that problem. Also, I have had to take out the right side fan multiple times and disassemble and oil the bearing because it's going bad, which requires taking the top plate off, but I haven't had to do that for over 6 months. In my mind if the problem was caused by taking the top plate off, that would fry the entire top plate, which happened once when a technitian at a local company took the computer apart for a waranty repair.  All of these problems considered, I don't think they would have anything to do with the fact that the mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work after about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle. I have done nothing different since yesterday that would explain why it does this. 
    Also, I can't do anything with the install disk because the CD drive is dead.  But that's mostly because it was a piece of garbage to begin with.
    Any Ideas would be helpful.

    After doing some more digging I was watching processes in Activity Monitor to see if I could see what process is failing.  I think the problem with with Chrome. It only happened when Chrome was open. And since then I reinstalled it and the problem has so far gone away.  So, I think the problems is solved.

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.
