Firefox crashed randomly when loading a youtube video, and after restarting firefox no flash programs would work on the browser

I was watching a youtube video.
Firefox crashes randomly.
Restart Firefox
Youtube videos don't load.
Other websites that uses flash don't load.
Tried upgrading to a newer flash, though 11.3 causes huge CPU usage for some reason so I upgraded to 11.2
Videos still do not load.

Hi,
You can try to [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html uninstall] and install Flash again. If the problem persists you can also temporarily '''Disable''' Flash in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins''' and try the [https://www.youtube.com/html5 HTML5 videos] wherever possible. Most of the videos without embedded ads have HTML5 equivalents. You can also try to open the problematic sites in [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-plus/ IE Tab +] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab/ IE Tab] inside Firefox.

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

Taking a long time to load a YouTube video and then it will not play

Trying to watch youtube videos and connection from news source. It has been taking along time to load and then will not play... Do I have a setting off any ideas? This has not been the case until recently

Try to restart using your installer disk, by inserting your installer disk and restart while pressing C.
And after it reboot using installer disk and you select the installer language, got o utilities and repair permission and disk.
Also try to reset your PRAM and SMC:

IF the problem still presist, you might have to re-install your OS X.
Good Luck.

Firefox crashes randomly even with all extensions disabled and new profile, but not in safe mode

Starting from about 2 weeks ago, Firefox has been crashing. The crashes is seemingly random, but normally happens when many pages/tabs are open. Also, all observed crashes happened in middle of some user operations. If I just leave it open(and loaded), it would never crash even after a long time.
Also, the crashes would still happen even after ALL extensions are disabled manually. However it doesn't seem to happen in Safe Mode.
After every crash, in the crash report dialog, the "Details" report would not respond. However I can open the reports using about:crashes.
Before the crash would happen, sometimes the following ill-behaviors could be observed:
* Firefox fails to render CJK characters, displaying them as square boxes instead
* CJK IME(Namely Google Pinyin, an IME for Simplified Chinese) could no longer be activated in Firefox, neither on a webpage element nor on UIs of Firefox itself(i.e. address bar or search bar)
The following has been tried but no luck:
* Disable ALL extensions manually
* Start a new profile
* Reset Firefox
* Uninstall/Reinstall Firefox
* Switch from FX 14 to 15, then to 16 beta

hello Rainarrow, some other users who have recently updated the graphics driver for their ati hardware (to ati catalyst version 12.8) have reported similar crashes. please try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general & see if this resolves the issue of frequent crashes for the moment.

Why is Adobe Flash loading when clicking "Clear Recent History" and after closing Firefox when I have it disabled?

I have Flash disabled but it's loading when I delete history and close the browser. Why?

Why does Flash load when it's disabled at all? It will load even when not deleting anything, just during normal internet activities.

Firefox locks up when loading PDFs, Google Analytics and other sites

I just recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox on my PC running Windows 7. I have never had any problems running Firefox until now. When I want to play video, load PDFs, Google Analytics, etc. Firefox does not work properly. With videos the image locks up unless you constantly move the mouse over the video window the entire time. With PDFs the entire PDF locks up and you cannot search the document or browse the file (same problem with e-Catalogs, etc.) In Google Analytics the window constantly locks up and you cannot smoothly click around the site.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

My macbook pro still won't play youtube videos even after i installed adobe flash play. What do I do?

I don't know what to do now. Adobe flash player doesnt even open up in my dock. And on youtube the videos say " This video is currently unavailable.

Try Safari and Lion forums, then bookmark the actual MacBook Pro forum.
And maybe a url if you want it to be cecked. And try Chrome. Try Firefox. And make sure your plugins and extensiions work. Safari was updated and there were security updates. And only install from Adobe such as
http://getflash.com or www.adobe.com and downloads.

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

I can well imagine that they are.
I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

I've read that there is a Firefox add-on, or plug-in, that will disable the maddening autoplay that has just recently started to occur when I play YouTube videos.. can I truly disable this thru Firefox?

It's certainly possible that Youtube has changed something...
Since most volunteers here probably aren't using this extension, I suggest contacting its author using the contact information on this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smartvideo-for-youtube-mytube/

Firefox crashes frequently while using facebook,youtube,etc

I am using firefox 30 and my firefox crashes frequently when i use facebook,while watching youtube videos,closing a high-loaded tabs,etc and also shows "plugin-container.exe has encountered a problem and must close." and another problem is that while watching youtube or using fb plug-container.exe and firefox.exe both uses about 500MB of my RAM and currently I have only 1.5GB RAM which makes pc working slower. I had recently disabled hardware acceleration but the crashing problem still there.
Please provide me a Fix.

I want to install firefox addon called "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Inbasic. How do I check to see if it has malware

How can I check if the program "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Inbasic has any malware.
When I go to download it has the string
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/413644/addon-413644-latest.xpi?src=userprofile
I'm so nervous about downloading anything for fear of getting my browser hijacked or worse as it has already happened twice. Any advice on this program or if there is a similar youtube download program that is known to be squeaky clean?

Hello,
If you are trying to download videos, i will suggest you to use DownloadHelper add-on or DownThemAll. I have been using both of them and they works pretty well.

Loading two youtube videos

Recently I'm completely stuck on something again.. was
wondering if you could help =)
It seems like a simple problem. I'm trying to load different
youtube videos at runtime as external swfs. But only the first one
loads, others just don't get displayed.
So I have a swfloader and two buttons to switch source.
public function loadSWF (filename : String) : void {
swfLoader.source=filename;
< mx:SWFLoader id="swfLoader" source="
http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=A72jSPEtOJI"><
/mx:SWFLoader>
< mx:Button x="688" y="505" label="1st" click="loadSWF('
http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=A72jSPEtOJI')"/>
< mx:Button x="761" y="505" label="2nd" click="loadSWF('
http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=InY3SLWORj8')"/>
It works fine with other swf files that don't involve youtube
videos... any ideas... very much appreciated!

X crashes with YouTube video pages after xf86-video-intel upgrade

X crashes when trying to view a YouTube video page after the last xf86-video-intel upgrade. I think it happens with other websites as well but most of them work just fine. If I downgrade xf86-video-intel to the previous version the problem is gone.
