Firefox won't let me watch any type of video or listen to any audio

It started around the time I downloaded Google Chrome, but I'm not sure if they had anything to do with each other. Videos and Audio don't work on any site for me- I live in China so I use Youku, Tudou, Soso, Tumblr, and all of these sites used to let me see their videos and listen to audio on firefox but they suddenly just don't. I've tried restarted firefox, reinstalling it, and reinstalling adobe flash player, java script, but nothing seems to work. I know that the videos can work, because they do on Google Chrome, but Google Chrome doesn't have all the plugins I can get on Firefox, and I want to start only using firefox, but I'm unable to do that if all videos and audio refuses to work for me.

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • On my iPod touch (5th generation) it won't let me watch any video's off any Internet sources eg Facebook twitter and YouTube. When I click on the video it just comes up saying 'this operation could not be continued'?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page Thanks

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

  • Firefox won't let me play any videos (youtube, hulu, or otherwise)

    Yesterday Firefox stopped loading videos. At first I thought I had been blocked by google because I used download helper to rip audio from a bunch of videos (lectures, not illegal downloads). But then I noticed Hulu wouldn't load and even facebook's video player wasn't working. I tried viewing videos on chrome and it worked fine.
    I cleared the cache on firefox, ensured I had the latest version of flash and firefox, but that didn't help.
    Eventually I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and that seemed to help, but then this morning I started getting the same error again.
    Any ideas?

    IE and Google Chrome come with their own versions of the flash plugin, but Firefox uses a different version.
    You can also try steps these for issues with the current Flash plugin:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Firefox won't let me open any other windows even my trusted sites what can I do to correct this?

    When I check my email there are bills and work sites I go to I know that they are trusted but each time I click on the link a message comes up saying Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. What can I do to stop this? It just isn't certain pages it is all of them I have to click the allow button on the right side of the page just to open the page. Because some of my game sites have pop up windows for the game I have unblock the pop up windows I have check everything else on my computer and all is working fine.

    Hello WhiteDove2043, try to UNCHECK the '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''', go from : Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab > Accessibility > Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page [ ]. Don't forget to click OK to save it.

  • My firefox won't let me open any tabs at all. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    This happened a few weeks ago. I opened Firefox and hit command t and no tab opened. I then hit the little plus button and still no tab appeared. Finally, I went to the menu and clicked on new tab and still nothing appeared. I've never had this problem before. I've reset my computer multiple times, the application multiple times, and even done permission repair on my computer. It's interfering with my work so I really need to know how to fix this soon please.

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So you can check your extensions: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

  • Firefox won't let me upload files to nearly any Web site, so how can I fix this issue?

    Whether it is gmail, Facebook, or more specifically this site (http://www.carnivalentertainment.com/index.htm), Firefox won't let me upload any type of file. Of course, if the Web site offers a standard uploader then I have a better chance of having a successful upload, but if it is not offered, then I am basically out of luck.

    Dmitri2217Did you notice that the post you are replying to is almost a year old?
    Apple is not reporting any problems currently.

  • Macbook pro won't download adobe and won't let me watch youtube videos

    i just got a macbook pro for christmas and it won't let me watch any youtube videos. it tells me to get the latest adobe flash player. I've tried downloading it multiple times, but it still won't work.. Help!.

    Hey there, the exact same thing happened to me last night except for not being able to download adobe. Just make sure your connected to the internet(I know you probably are) and try downloading. I don't have an answer as to why you may not be able to download anything but for what it's worth, if you get to download adobe - install adobe then I close everything, restart, then it will all work
    I hope this helps you my friend

  • Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

    Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
    I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
    I can save images normally with IE.

  • Firefox won't let me "book mark" any more

    1. Firefox won't let me bookmark anymore. It puts the window up and I fill it in but it keeps telling me it didn't go through.
    2.I am looking for comments about folks' experience with the newest version of Firefox and can't find it. I recall finding it before and reading lots of comments about problems with version 5--which I didn't download for that reason. Now you have a new version and I would like to know what folks are experiencing with it.

    I don't know what you mean about storing them. I saved them. I had a number of "folders" that contained websites I wanted to access quickly. These seem to have disappeared. I have no way of remembering all of them so can't re-create them.
    Is there something that got "turned off" when I downloaded the new version of Firefox?

  • Firefox won't let me select options from drop down menus, on the previous version nor on the current 4.0 version that I just downloaded.

    If I am on a site and trying to get information etc, and I have to choose from a drop down menu of any kind, Firefox won't let me choose anything. I can't answer the next question regarding This Happened because I can't select from your drop down.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox won't let me change proxy setting

    the setting for acsessing the internet have changed from no proxy to manual proxy confuration, firefox won't let me change the setting. I've gone to firewall and changed the permissions but it didn't fix problem. I can acsess internet through internet explorer. What do I do??

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox won't let me attach my Microsoft Office to my hotmail email account!

    '''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

    You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
    You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
    Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
    Have a look at
    *[[preferences are not saved]]
    * and [[backing up your information]]
    A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
    Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
    # return the profile settings to their standard privileges
    # use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
    # try a new profile
    #* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
    # back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

  • Firefox won't let me allow a security certificate

    I need connect to work remotely, but firefox won't let me. Says it can't verify the gateway and it's not safe to connect to the server. It doesn't even give me any option except to view the certificate. when I do that, it just ways that Windows doesn't have enough information to verify the certificate. Help!

    Thanks -- however, I did previously and marked it as an exception. Now it says that it is a valid certificate, but I am still not allowed access -- I get the same message.
