Firefox CLOSES (no crash message) when websites with streaming video are loaded.

Before it is suggested, I have fully updated the browser, and updating flash more times than I can count. In addition, this has been going on through many firefox updates, so it is not limited to just the recent update.
I run Firefox on OSX Tiger, and for about a year now firefox has about a 50% chance of randomly closing whenever I view a website that has streaming video content. Some examples are ESPN, Hulu, MLB.tv and YouTube.
It is NOT an official crash though. No crash reports are registered, no error messages are given, Firefox simply closes completely with not so much as a "terminal error" pop-up. I usually have to watch content from sites that use steaming content on Safari just because Firefox is so unstable on my system when loading ANY video content.
This issue is NOT limited to flash, as Firefox will do the same thing with non-flash video with pretty much the same regularity.
PLEASE don't just tell me to update again, I've done that countless times for each and every update of Firefox in the last year. It has NEVER worked. Although I'm 95% sure that flash is installed fine, because I never have any problems with it on Safari.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Currently Using
Firefox 3.6.7
OSX 10.4.11
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1 Safari/533.16

just got the notification about FF 3.6.8 installed it, reinstalled flash just for paranoia's sake
problem still occurring. please help.

I seem to be getting error messages when trying to stream videos

Why am I getting a message that says "this operation could not be completed" when trying to stream a video?

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

I don't know how to fix the problem in a proper fashion, which probably involves tweaking the video subsystem of your computer, since Lr is essentially tapping it for all that is video (assuming the mov files really should be importable, but aren't).
That said, a possible work-around for the mean time is to use a a script called
'Import Any Video'
free by me downloadable here:
http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrScripts
it transcodes mov files into mp4 format which Lr tends to be happier with - dunno if it'll work for you.
Good luck,
Rob

When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

Firefox application quits unexpectedly on various websites with no pattern: firefox-bin [770]

Firefox application quits unexpectedly on various websites with no pattern. Part of the error message details reads "firefox-bin [770]"
It started happening this AM after I visited facebook and got an invite from someone I don't know. I didn't reply. Ever since, I can only browse Safari but for a few pages until it quits.
Please help.
Thank you.

Run /Utilities/Console and click 'All Messages' top left - look for the entries around the quit times and see if they give any pointers why the apps are quitting ? If you're not sure what the lines mean copy and post (just those not the whole log) here.
There may also be some clues in /Library/Logs/Crash Reporter nameofapplication_date

Get "using too much power" message when charging with USB

I have a 4th gens iPod Touch that appears to have a number of issues:
1. get "using too much power" message when charging with USB
2. can't re-boot
3. unable to access iCloud Backup, Ignore and Settings button inactive
4. unable to unlock unit when using the Home button to turn the unit on

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I get a 'blocked plug-in' message when trying to view video, such as youtube. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled plug-ins - still doesn't work.

Hey reslosson,
The article linked below provides more information about the blocked plug-in alert that you are seeing and will walk you through the process of changing the security settings in Safari.

There can be multiple reasons for crashing. Seeing this article would be helpful as it lists out the solution for this-

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos. After 30 min it blocks the video and then all Safari is blocked with the colourful wheel turning for 2-3 minutes. What can I do? I updated flash to the latest version. It drives me nuts. I tried several links, it's not the link that is not working. HELP pls.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. It never used to do that. How do I fix this.

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. How do I fix this.

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

Problems with streaming video on Quicktime

I have been having trouble with streaming videos continuing to pause, then start playing, pause again and so on. I was wondering if there is something I have done to effect playback or if there something I can do to stop this. Thank you for any suggestions

Hello djdoo6
Welcome to discussions!
It will depend on your Internet Service.
Open / Q-Time Player / Q-Time Preferences / open Streaming section. My preference is set to Automatic, select that or known ISP speed. If you use the Enable Instant-On Drag the blue pointer to the right for more delay befor starting play. Play with this untill you download enough to start and finish videos.
Hope this helps

When I'm streaming videos from my Macbook Air to my AppleTV, my Macbook Air gets rather hot and the fan works hard and is loud trying to keep the laptop cool. Is this harmful to the laptop? Is this normal?

My MBA fans start running when I play video too - the CPU's video processor is working pretty hard to decode the video. The fans job is to provide better airflow. The time to worry is when you play video and the fans don't run.

Problems with streaming videos and sound

Hi,
I'm having troubles with streaming videos and I also have sound issues. After upgrading to latest flash player version, everytime I stream videos on the internet (youtube,vimeo,etc.), videos are constantly freezing every 7 seconds. It is so annoying. Also, my audio does not work.
With greatest respect, I would be eternally grateful if you could help me with this.
