You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.

  • PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

    Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
    BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
    I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
    Does anyone know more about this issue?

    Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
    And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
    I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
    Got any more suggestions?
    Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

  • Microphone does not work after restarting computer

    I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
    Sennheiser PC350 headset
    Windows XP Home Edition
    The newest version of Ventrilo

    That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • Browse button does not work in ebay standard uploader for firefox 32.0.3 by it works in IE

    when trying to upload images to eBay to sell items the browse button on the standard uploader does not do anything, this works fine in IE and the basic upload also works well in both. I have cleared all cache and cookies but still not working.

    I understand the uploader is not working and you have cleared the cache and the issue continues. Please also Try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] this will tell you if it is an add on interfering with the functionality of the Browsing/Upload button.
    In case of Java you can check the Security tab in the Java Control Panel to make sure that Java for browsers is enabled.

  • Google documents - 'select files to upload' does not work with v 3.6.8 Firefox - several users have noticed this.

    Until Friday, I could upload documents using google's facility within Firefox . Suddenly, the 'select files to upload' stopped working. Internet Explorer does this ok.
    I noticed on the Google forum that several users have reported this and someone suggested it should be reported to Firefox as it works with other browsers. I am using Windows XP on a laptop.

    It is an issue that Google are aware of and are working on a solution. See [http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Docs/thread?tid=4f0369bdcf6fd7ff&hl=en "Select files to upload" not working in Firefox - Google Docs Help]

  • [restart shiretoko] button does not work

    The "restart shiretoko" button in the browsers add-on manager simply closes shiretoko and does not restart it. I then have to attempt to start it twice before it comes back.
    The problem is identical under Openbox and Xmonad WM.
    The terminal output of firefox doesn't seem to ouptut anything related:
    (firefox:26539): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

    for me it works as indented after an add on install. If you talking about this then it is outdated. One way to check is clear your cache or delete and create a new profile. As this is specific to Firefox checking their forum or a web search give you more insight.

  • The trackball on my Lenovo laptop does not work to move up and down pages on the Firefox Beta. Can I enable this

    The problem started when I downloaded the Firefox Beta version 4. I have just upgraded to version 5 and I am still having the problem. I have a center button on mouse pad that allows me to move up and down pages without clicking on the sidebar,

    Try this: <br />
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    '''''Filter''''' = '''trackpoint'''<br />
    '''''Pref''''' = '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' <br />change that from -1 to 1. <br />Restart Firefox.

  • Flash Player Does NOT Work on IE. Ok on Firefox.

    I began getting the following message whenever I try to go to an online radio station website or Jibjab.com to play their content using Internet Explorer:
    "Attention! You currently do not have the required version (9) of Adobe Flash installed on you computer. For the best experience, we recommend that you install or upgrade to the latest verion of Adobe Flash now."
    I am running Windows XP SP3. I already had flash player installed. I deinstalled Adobe Flash Player and reinstalled it. No change. I installed IE8. No change.  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  animation did NOT play. I checked the IE8 Internet>Options settings and they appeared to be ok. I then tried 10.1 beta version. No change.

  • I need to remove 9.0.1 and install firefox 8.0.1 as comcast constant guard does not work on 9.0.1 How do I install 8.0.1?

    I need to download earlier version of firefox...where do I fine 8.0.1? I currently have 9.0.1 installed (Mozilla firefox)

    Is Comcast constant guard really necessary? Ask Comcast support to update its products or find another application doing the same instead of downgrading your browser to a version which has known exploits and missing features. But FF8 is available on Mozilla's FTP: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ (turn off autoupdate)

  • I cannot open Firefox without being prompted to drag the Firefox icon into My Applications. It also does not let me eject the drive while Firefox is open. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

    I use a Mac. OS X.
    I click on the Firefox icon to go online.
    It opens up the drive that I originally used to install the update(3.6.15). I have to select open because it is an unknown application.
    Firefox opens to the homepage.
    I try to eject the drive.
    It says "The disk 'Firefox' cannot be ejected because 'Firefox' is using it. Quit the application and try to eject the disk again."
    I do that.
    The same thing happens again and again.
    I try to download the update again.
    Same thing.
    I won't download the Firefox 4 RC because it makes my online browsing very slow.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

  • Juno does not work with the latest version of firefox Why?

    I would love to install the latest version of Firefox, but when I attempted to It indicated that It was not compatible with my Juno email service, why don't you guys ever include Juno when you do updates? Very frustrating as now my browser experience feels like my computer is dead. I finally gave up and installed Safari which is working at lightning speed. Don't suggest IE as I hate all Microsoft products,they are even worse at not testing things.
