Firefox, no youtube thumbnails

This is on a fresh Arch Linux install. Youtube thumbnails don't show up when using Firefox, neither do user profile images. But the advertisements and youtube logo load fine. I'm not blacklisting any servers in /etc/hosts. Anyone have any idea whats wrong?

Problems with Youtube thumbnails

I am having problem with Safari while browsing Youtube thumbnail images, they either load really slow or not at all. The strange thing is Firefox browser loads them all instantly. Does anyone else have this problem?
I am using an AirPort connection to a 2wire 2700HGV-B modem/router.

Hello Doug,
This sounds a little like a problem we had with wireless connectivity. The setup is via a landline broadband modem, and a wireless router. When we downloaded much, especially video, it would seem that Safari froze until I turned Airport off and then back on.
The problem went away when we went into the settings for the wireless router and the landline broadband router, and disabled the facility for the routers to act as a server.
Maybe your setup is different; but if it's similar, you could try that.
Best wishes from Ireland,
Martin

How can I male Firefox open YouTube app for youtube pages and videos?

I tried to watch a video on youtube page, but I got a message saying that video wasn't available for mobile devices. I really wanted to watch that video, so I tried exactly the same page with android's browser... guess what? the browser sent the link to youtube app and I watched the video with no problem.
So, how can I make Firefox call youtube app instead of lie to me?
An example: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2zI4Hl02898&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2zI4Hl02898%26feature%3Dyoutu.be

I just realize that it happens to vimeo too, except for the fact that there's no android little icon... and I have no vimeo app installed in my device (and I don't intend to install). And guess what (again)? Android's browser plays vimeo videos with no problem! I don't know if it calls android's video player (since it starts fullscreen right when I touch play button) or whatever, the fact is that Firefox keeps lying to me. it's disappointing... =/

Please help

About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

YouTube thumbnails not visible on Safari

The thumbnails on YouTube are not visible on Safari. The videos play fine. The automatic seach suggestion isn't working. Also, I can't expand the video player to the medium size; I can watch in full screen and the smaller video player size. Everything is fine in other browsers such ad Google Chrome. I tried uninstalling Adobe Flash Player and reinstalling the latest version. I don't remember installing or changing any settings that might have caused this to happen. I am using a MacBook Pro Version 10.6.8. Help me please!

You can make the user agent fix work permanently in all windows/tabs from terminal with this:
defaults write com.apple.Safari CustomUserAgent "\"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0\""
Note that there's a SPACE between "rv:11.0)" and "Gecko" The string is what you get from the Develop menu in Safari if you hover your mouse over one of the settings.
You can turn this off and revert to "normal" behaviour with:
defaults delete com.apple.safari CustomUserAgent
if you use this trick and pick any IE user agent setting, GMail will break if you use it from Safari, that's why I've picked the Mozilla setting.
Hope this helps until a proper fix comes along.

Can't upload YouTube thumbnail. "Try again" error

Every time I try to upload a YouTube custom thumbnail, I keep getting a "try again" message. I've tried resetting Firefox back to default, uninstalled/re-installed the web browser, I've made sure my thumbnails are the correct size and file type(which they all are).
I'm not sure what else to do. Every time I want to upload a custom thumbnail, I have to use Google Chrome. I'm trying to avoid using Chrome more than I have to. If anyone could help find the solution, that would be great.
Thanks!
P.S. I added a picture to show the error I keep getting.

After upgrading to Firefox 24, YouTube videos never load

I have Lubuntu 12.04 and Gnash. Up until yesterday (when Upgrade Manager uploaded the latest Firefox to version 24) all was well.
NOW, the page loads, I click on the large "Play" symbol superimposed over the video image, and all I get thereafter is the circling dots loading symbol.
Gnash gets far enough that it creates the "videoplayback__" file for the video, but it is typically only a few kb large (and it cannot be played, naturally).
If there is a workaround/solution, great - if not, please tell me how to get version 23 back (but also let me know when the problem is fixed so I can get the new fixed version)
Thank you.
P.S. To get this question down to an acceptable size, I deleted all the printer-related Troubleshooting Information that for some reason Troubleshooter saw fit to include....
Before I did so, I was told to: "Ensure this value has at most 30,000 characters (it has 47,676)." ("Value" ???)

YouTube videos freezing up after about 30s
I am contributing the following observations both as information and in an effort to help FF find a fix for what broadly speaking is an on-going problem, but possibly not as some users have suggested specifically with FF or on the other hand with Adobe Flash. Please forgive the length.
After updating FF23.0.1 to FF24.0 and updating Adobe Flash Player from 11.8.* to 11.9.900.117 shortly afterwards I have found that when using my broadband dongle ANY YouTube video I play in FF freezes up after 26-30 seconds although the progress bar continues; if I give it long enough the screen turns green - a first for me - and I receive a message that the Adobe Flash Player has crashed. The SAME effect occurs in Google Chrome using its default Adobe Flash Player, v11.8.* (it recognizes 11.9.900.117, but I have not tried that in Chrome yet).
With Opera v12.16 and v15, however, with and WITHOUT the turbo feature on for slow connections, I have no problem with YouTube videos. In a single test using FF with an ethernet connection YouTube videos played properly. So, superficially, the problem would seem to be related to a slow connection speed with the dongle, although this does not explain the crashing of the Flash Player in FF and Chrome, but not in Opera: I have been using the dongle since December 2009 and have NEVER encountered this issue before. Also, with FF, I tried playing a flash video on another website at various qualities and the video did not freeze up. So, why this problem with YouTube? It might also be added that FF users have been reporting FF/Adobe Flash/YouTube problems for at least a few years and it is unlikely that they were all using broadband dongles. I do have some difficulty playing some Quicktime videos while using my dongle, which may also suggest an internet connection issue; nevertheless, as noted, this does not explain the persistent and unusual crashing of the Flash Player or the green-screen effect or Opera's ability to play YouTube videos.

Is there any way to get Firefox to show Thumbnails?

I've been using Firefox for a while now, but it's never really bothered me until now.
Every time I open a website with thumbnails they come up as links instead of what they should be and if I click those links it just takes me to a small picture(what should be the thumbnail, I guess) which I can't do anything with.
I've tried with and without AddOns(NoScript/AdblockPlus), and I've made sure [Load Images Automatically] is ticked, but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated greatly, thanks. :)

Thanks for the reply, cor-el, I checked to see if I could see any of the images in Media but there wasn't any, though there was some of the background, avatars and emoticons.
I also checked through the link you gave me:
I tried clearing Cache and Cookies, Force-reloading, without AddOns, all of the things in 'About:config' it said(all were normal/default), checked the exceptions in 'Tools>Options>Content', the links weren't Backslashes.
I checked my Firewall(Not that great with computers, but I'm on XP and using AVG), and I didn't seem to find anything to do with Image blocking, and it should displays a notification when Firewall blocks a program(if that would show for images, I don't know).
So, even with all that I can't seem to find the problem. Anything else? I really love Mozilla and it's annoying to have to go into IE just to see some images load. :(

Firefox 7 + youtube

This keeps happening to me:
Can't go forward or pause the video and this happens, can anybody help me? I know there's a lot of people with problems with flash, I tried downgrading flash, unninstall and start firefox in safe mode, keeps happening. Unninstalled real player, just don't know what to do anymore.
I do have internet download manager integration though, don't know what's doing this, It started when I upgraded to the latest flash player version.

I do not have a Plugins folder in my Firefox profile, and I can still view Youtube videos with Firefox 7.
I suggest you try the following
go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 and
download the 64-bit uninstaller
download the 64-bit installer
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller
restart Windows
delete any remaining files in
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
now run the downloaded installer
Should be working now, without the copied dll in your Firefox profile.

Youtube thumbnails doesn't show

what do i do

Hi sunvox, the question flow is constantly being reviewed and tweaked, so thank you for your input. Although the suggested articles often solve users' problems, I understand that they can lead you in a circle if you don't notice that the form continues below them. Difficult problem to solve.
Regarding Flash and Java, I'm not sure whether those affect thumbnails, if they are just static images. Did you review this article during your journey through the support maze: [[Fix problems that cause images to not show]]?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test Bing and Yahoo in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Firefox opens youtube links as a file to save

While browsing youtube.com, I am getting a regularly reocurring problem. For a while it will work perfectly, but eventually when I click a link to a different video, a window will pop up prompting me to choose between saving or running a file (as if I had downloaded a rar file or something).
The file is usually named according to the action I'm doing. For instance if I type in the search bar and hit enter, it might open a file to download or run named "search" (or something similair). With videos the file is named "watch", and occasionally youtube.com's index will even try to save.
I have the Downloadhelper addon (quick download of youtube videos and conversion) installed and am wondering if maybe this is causing the problem?
Only fix I have been able to find so far is restarting the browser, which is annoying, as I have a tendency to spend hours at a tiem on Youtube.
Windows 7 32 bit, E8400, Radeon HD4850, Firefox 3.3.6 (or whatever most recent is).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Why doesn't firefox open youtube videos, istead whole server get jam.

Only way to get out is stop process. When open videos sound and music is playing, but video stops after 0-2 second. Then firefox is jammed, nothing works.

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container in the firewall.

You can also try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.<br />

Will Firefox support Youtube in 60 fps anytime soon?

Will Firefox support watching HD-videos on Youtube in 60 fps in the near future?

I get 720p60 and 1080p60 offered in the current Nightly build that has MSE enabled by default.
*media.mediasource.enabled = true
*http://www.youtube.com/html5
Otherwise Google offers the 60fps choice via 720p60 and 1080p60 only to Google Chrome.
*https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbsGxdAPhjv9UrLo19pS8teoRKj7funAy
It doesn't work smoothly though and there are frames not painted for me on Linux.
