FIREFOX KEEPS STREAMING VIDEOS AFTER TABS OR FIREFOX ITSELF IS CLOSED-

Hi...this bug has not been fixed and I guess will never be fixed by Firefox developers as they do not consider this a problem... let me give you an example and prove the opposite...
''''''HOW TO CRASH YOUR PC AND SPEND A MONTHLY DOWNLOAD LIMIT IF YOU ARE ON MOBILE BROADBAND EVEN WITHOUT NOTICING HOW DID THIS HAPPENEN? EASILY... JUST START USING FIREFOX!!! OH DON’T FORGET TO PAY YOUR CRAZY INTERNET BILLS FOR THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEB EVEN WITHOUT NOTICING IT :)''''''
Imagine if you are on mobile broadband...you pay for every megabyte you download or you have monthly limit like 10GB you can download per moth...I guess most of the mobile broadband users know exactly what I’m talking about and think twice before downloading stuff from internet because you can easily spent your monthly download limit in a day...
All you have to do is open Youtube for example and click on 20-50 video links... don’t worry...you don’t have to watch them all...just clink on video links and close all your tabs with videos started to stream...or just close Firefox…What will happen then…? Firefox will be streaming all videos you have opened and even thought Youtube video tabs or web browser itself will be closed Firefox will keep streaming all the videos you have opened... the only way to stop this is by rebooting your mobile modem or rooter...so in other words to stop that from happening you have to switch ON or OF your mobile device every time you didn’t liked a video or want to watch other video so Firefox will not crash your PC and so you don’t spend your monthly limit in one day...
Man...this issue has been reported so many times and I ‘’really like’’ when Firefox developers spend their time and effort on such silly things like skins and all sort of silly features but do not consider this issues as an issue and keeps focusing on more important ''things'' … I have reported this issue on Bugzilla years ago but still it hasn’t been fixed…man…I love Firefox and running upstairs every time when I decide I don’t want this video to be streaming so I can switch ON or OFF my mobile broadband modem…

  • Cannot stream video after iOS8 upgrade

    My iPad Mini no longer streams video after I upgraded to iOS 8. This includes Facebook videos, Youtube app, HBO Go app, Amazon on Demand app, Safari or Chrome. If I switch to either laptop or my iphone which runs iOS7, I have no troubles streaming any video.

    THe same situation on my iPad Air. For a short time helps hard reset but it is very frustrating...

  • Problems streaming video (after 5-10 mins)

    Hi,
    I used to have no problems streaming video (hulu, espn3 etc), but recently my quality starts dropping out after 5-10 mins. It starts off fine but then the video starts getting jumpy then the audio starts to fuzz out. If I refresh the browser and even restart. the problem can still be there.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there any chance that this not an issue with my computer, but with my internet connection?
    Thanks!

    I too am having this same issue.  I have only started having it after installing Lion.  I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video.  I have no solutions!

  • Problems streaming video after computer sleeps

    I have brand new MacBook Pro, which came with a free Lion upgrade, so one of the first things that I did upon getting my new laptop was to go to the app store and download/install Lion.
    Anyways, I've been having issues streaming videos online on sites like youtube, hulu, etc. When I first start up my computer I am able to stream without any issues, but after my computer has been put to sleep and reawakened, all video that I attempt to stream online becomes choppy. The audio works perfectly, but the video is jumpy and unwatchable. If I restart my computer everything works fine again, but obviously this is an annoying process to have to go though every single time I want to watch a show or something online.
    I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues? My younger brother, who got the exact same computer as me is having no problems at all.
    Additionally, when my login screen appears after a restart or whenever I turn my computer on my user icon appears all the way over to the left of my screen and is only partially visible. Not a huge inconvenience, but it's just annoying to already have weird little things going wrong with a brand new computer.
    Help please?

    I too am having this same issue.  I have only started having it after installing Lion.  I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video.  I have no solutions!

  • Problem with live streaming video after system updates

    Dear all,
    I hope you can assist me on this.
    Yesterday, I downloaded the following automatic updates: iLife Support 9.0.4, Remote Desktop Client update 3.4, Mac OS X Update Combined 10.6.7, Airport Utility 5.5.2.
    After that, I could NO MORE watch live streaming channels. To be precise, l can properly hear the sound, but not see the video.
    I wish to underline the fact that before installing the automatic updates listed above, I had a clear sound and video of all live streaming sites.
    I downloaded the latest versions of JAVA and Flash, but unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.
    Therefore, I am quite sure the live streaming disfunction has to do with the system automatic updates. Is there any way to uninstall yesterday's updates without compromising the various softwares and OS performance?
    What else could be if not related to the system updates?
    Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

    Stan,
    I hadn't heard of gspot before.  I downloaded it and it looks like a nice, handy tool.  Thanks.
    After running it, I didn't see anything that caught my eye as unusual (corrupt file, unknown codec, etc.)  I have posted a screenshot at the following URL if you care to look.
    www.cbvideo.com/gspot/gspot-out.jpg
    Now, let me add to the mystery.  I was just able to burn it without incident with Encore 1.5 and the same chapter mark locations.  There are only two things I can think of that would be possible causes.  1) something quirky about CS3, even though I've not had any prior problems in two years with it for my business OR 2) the file had become corrupted when moving from the capture computer (the older computer with 1.5) to the newer computer (with CS3).  As the file seems to be okay on the 2nd computer (plays fine in WMP and imports into both Premiere and Encore), I'm leaning toward #1.
    I have been able to successfully work around the problem to finish this job for the client, but I'd still like to know what's going on for future reference.  If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

  • .flv not streaming video after FMS 2 install

    We were previously running Flash Communications server 1.5,
    and have installed FMS 2.0. We copied over our stream files with
    the same folder structure, but when the .flv file is streamed, the
    audio plays (and the connectios show up in the administraton
    console), but the video (from the same file) does not show up.
    Any help would be apprecieated.
    Thanks,

    "A race condition in stream management would sometimes result
    in Netstream.Play.Stop not being sent to the client, which
    prevented the FLV Player from playing the stream properly."
    The 2.01 update fixed this problem.

  • Streaming Videos

    Almost all Nokia phones have a streaming client built into them that is able to stream video's from websites or even network operator sites such as Vodafone Live.
    In order to stream correctly you will need the correct streaming settings from your network operator. If they were not supplied with your handset from out of the box it is advisable that you contact your network operator and ask them to send them to you OTA.
    General rules for streaming:
    1: The access point used for the internet connection and streaming must have the same APN and proxy.
    2: Streaming will work best when you have 3G coverage so avoid trying to stream in areas where signal quality is low or you do not have 3G connectivity
    3: Streaming will make the phones battery run down a lot quicker and it will also cause the phone to become quite hot
    4: Depending on your network operators tariffs streaming can be charged at the standard data rate or at a flat rate (consult them before attempting any lengthy streaming)
    You can also obtain settings from this site

    hi mate,
    please check via Nokia Suite if there are any firmware updates available for your device, and if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. It is known that some C-series phone do not support video streaming of online videos, while others have received the feature later on through firmware updates. If your device does not play streaming videos after any firmware updates, then unfortunately this feature is not possible on your device, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

  • Videos keep downloading even after closing Firefox.

    Hello, I just signed in because I have a weird issue, so this is my first post here:
    Recently I noticed my internet connection suddenly was getting very slow, I thought it was some problem with my internet provider but the problem was getting very frequent. I use a program (Win7 gadget) that helps me monitor my internet traffic, access and usage, and I noticed all my bandwidth was being used even if I had all programs closed. A couple of days later I discovered that each time I opened a streaming video from any site (not just YouTube), the problem was there, so everytime I watch a video I have to wait for it to load completely, even if I close the tab or the browser.
    I don't have the slightest idea how this problem started, I'm very careful about the software I install in my PC. I've searched all over the web trying to find a solution but to no avail, it seems a lot of other users have the same issue but with some variants: some people blame it on BitDefender, other people blame it to using other browsers, etc. but I haven't found a solution yet.
    Now, watching videos is a big part of my internet experience, even YouTube is my homepage, and I sometimes like to watch very long videos (20+ min.), so you can tell this problem ruins a big part of my web usage. Let's say I open a video with a 3:00 minutes length, I watch like 20 seconds of it and then I decideo to close it, now I must wait the whole three minutes for the video to stop buffering to be able to watch another one (or to do anything web related for that matter) or surf the web at the pace of a snail until the video stops loading.
    The solutions I've tried so far are:
    Disabling all antivirus options in BitDefender 2012.
    Disabling and enabling again the network adapter.
    Uninstalling my monitoring programs (Windows 7 gadgets).
    Updating Flash Player to the latest version.
    Trying to tweak the various Flash Player options found in Control Panel (a.k.a. Global Settings).
    Trying to tweak the Flash Player Settings found by right clicking on a video.
    Another thing I noted is that if I try to find which program is accessing the internet with the Resource Monitor that comes with Windows 7, there's none. Let's say that I open a video, I check the Resource Monitor and there I can find Firefox is accessing internet as expected, then I close Firefox, the program dissappears from the Resource Monitor (again, as expected) but the bandwidth is still being accessed at full. I have a very slow connection (2 Mb), so you can tell how this becomes a problem for me.
    I'm not sure how or when the problem started, and I'm reluctant to do a System Resore because there seems none of the programs affected have nothing to do with my issue, and I'd lose some other stuff I've configured on my PC and want to keep.
    Well, that's all I have to say, thank you for reading and I really hope you can come with a solution, cya!
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Firefox, ver. 17.0.1
    Adobe Flash Player, ver. 11.5.502.135
    (PS: While writing my specs, I was just wondering if it was a problem with Firefox, which updates quite frequently... go figure.)

    What? No replies? Anyone?
    Well, I just wanted to add that the problem seems to be with Firefox. I tried opening videos with Internet Explorer 9 and they stopped buffering the moment I closed their tabs or closed the browser, so I downgraded Firefox from ver. 17.0.1 to ver. 16.0.2 and I thought the problem was solved, the videos stopped downloading as soon as I closed them, but the next time I opened Firefox the problem was there again...
    BTW, I've already ran a full system antivirus scan, but my PC is clean. I've also tried disabling Greasemonkey and all its scripts.
    Please, help me if you can!

  • After updating to firefox 5.0, I can't download streamed videos using realplayer recorder, I can play them

    After upgrading to Firefx 5.0, I am unable to use Realplayer recorder, to download streamed video from youtube, I can play it no problem. It worked in versio 4 without any dramaas.

    HI Juanverano,
    Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • After firefox update it will not stream video, explorer will on the same system, what is the problem?

    Firefox notified me that an update was available to install and after this install was complete I could not stream video from any site. I was instructed to clear my browser cache, I did ti no avail. I updated Adobe Flash and exhausted the extent of my troubling abilities w/o causing any major system unrest. I accessed the same video steam through explorer on the same system, but firefox is a far superior browser and I like to solve this problem to avoid having to find another browser.
    Please advise

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

  • 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)

  • How do I capture streaming video on firefox for mac?

    Is there a way to save or capture streaming video being watched on Firefox for Mac?

    it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
    i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
    first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
    if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
    open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
    so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • Problem viewing video, something about an ad blocker. I had no trouble viewing streaming video until I downloaded firefox 4

    I do not have any trouble watching streaming video on the Netflix website, but all other streaming video such as on a tv network or on IMDB.com comes back unavailable or blocked by an ad blocker. The only change to my computer I have done is upgrade my Mazilla Firefox browser. Something downloaded with it maybe that is blocking streaming transmissions. I need to know how to disable or bypass the problem.

    - 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.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
