Flash content distorts when scrolling and switching tabs.. since FF 13.0.1..

Before describing the issue
Please note from the System Details pane to this post that I have the latest flash, etc.
And Windows updates,are up to date.
==================================================
Issue: Scrolling distorts flash player window (Youtube, hulu, etc.)
Since: FF 13.0.1 update in June. (I posted on the issue under "badly scrambled images".)
Problem is still there with FF 14.0.1
This distortion happens:
# even with just starting the browser (so no bloated cache)
# even with just only one or two tabs open.
And since last week's update to FF 14.01, I have also detected:
Switching to the the tab with flash content will "imprint" the image from the my previous tab on to the flash player. I have to scroll or refresh to get the flash player to show its content.
FYI, none of these flash player problems occur with IE9.
The advise from a regular contributor was to turn off hardware acceleration, but these did not solve this issue.:(
Solutions suggesting disabling all the plugins etc. have not solved the problem either.
So if you can tell me some other way to solve this, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sorry, it took me a while to give feedback for the suggestions you have given here.
(Please refer to sidebar on the original post for system details.)
I have reset the profile and updated the Nvidia driver. The version of FF is 14.0.1. But it still scrambles the pictures.
On top of scrambling the flash content when scrolling, it has additional problems:
As you can see from the attached image, another tab's content is showing on the youtube flash player. This happens when I have paused the video even for a short time.
I have a suspicion that the combination of Flash and Firefox does some weird things to graphic processing and memory.
(I realize that IE implements Flash differently, but they seem to have this right.)
I might just have to say goodbye to Firefox for a while.
Thanks.

Since updating to 18.0 for mac, my scrollbar has been distorting when scrolling; started ~2 days after updating.

The odd thing is that it is an on and off issue, meaning that sometimes the scrollbar distorts when scrolling, and sometimes it doesn't, and it started doing this about 2 days after updating. It didn't start immediately, which I find kind of odd. Is this just a graphical glitch? I'm pretty sure it is. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Firefox 5: distortion when scrolling on all web pages; wavey appearance

There is distortion when scrolling on all webpages using Firefox 5. It doesn't matter how fast or slow the scrolling is, the screen becomes wavey until the scrolling stops. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and that hasn't helped. This does not happen using Safari or in any documents or spreadsheets opened outside the Firefox browser.

'''''Its better to take a Screenshot of your Toolbars before performing the following suggestion.'''''
Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the SHIFT key while Starting Firefox -> Safe Mode window will appear -> place Checkmark on 2nd option "Reset Toolbars and Controls" -> Click "Make Changes and Restart".
Check and tell if its working.

Flash CS4 crash when scrolling

Hi,
Today one of our artists started experiencing a crash in Flash CS4 Professional when scrolling the workspace around in one of his .fla files. All he has to do is hold down the spacebar and scroll around with the mouse; or use the scrollbars to scroll around. It has crashed about 10 times in the last hour, and we copied the file over to another machine and saw the crash there as well. We've only seen it occur with one particular file.
The machines are both Intel Core i7 machines with 8GB of RAM and two different video cards, one running Windows 7 and the other running Vista; and the crashes cause the Adobe "let me report this crash to the mothership" dialog box, so I don't think it's video card driver related; I think it's just a bug in Flash Professional. We're running version 10.0.2 with no updates available to Flash Professional when choosing "Updates..." from the Help menu.
Anybody else seen this? Any workarounds? Any way to get Adobe to fix it?
Thanks - BD

Hi Jen,
I'm putting the file up on our website for you to grab.
Please treat this file confidentially.

Problems with loading flash content in firefox, chrome, and opera

Salutations. The past couple of days, I've been having trouble with loading flash content on many sites. In particular, many flash games on sites like facebook will not load for me. Sporadically on other sites, flash content will not load, either.
I have no trouble with flash in IE9, but when I try to load these same pages in opera, chrome, and firefox i receive a "This Adobe flash plugin has crashed" error. I do send a crash report each time I receive this error. I've uninstalled flash and reinstalled it several times and it still performs this error. Sometimes when i try to load certain flash games on Chrome a "the following plugin is unresponsive: shockwave flash. would you like to stop it?" error and this makes the whole browser unresponsive. I receive the same error in Opera.
I have the following browsers and flash versions:
Firefox: 6.0.2 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
Chrome: 13.0.782.220 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
Opera: 11.51 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
As for my system, I have Windows Vista Home Premium with service pack 2.
Prior to upgrading to this new version of flash, everything worked fine in all of these browsers for me.
As an afterthought, I figured that I should mention that I'm running adobe flash 10.3.183.5 with IE9, which is the main difference between that one browser and the other three.

Thanks for the report. Odd that IE is fine, though maybe something broke between .5 and .7. Would you mind opening a new bug on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com? Here's a post that describes the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log:

Screen flashes or flickers when scrolling

When scrolling through web pages, my screen flashes or flickers. Turns white and then the page displays. Not a major issue, just more of an annoyance than anything. I have turned my phone off twice to see if that helps and doesn’t seem to change anything. Any ideas?

Hi All,
I just got back my iPad after diagnosis from apple care. They have said it's a software issue and nothing related to hardware. Moreover, I checked a few iPads on display at an apple store and still found the same issue.
Cheers,

Firefox opens flash content in wrong size and bad quality.

I created flash content (virtual tour) in fixed size 800x600. There is a script which opens the content in new window but Mozilla opens just a cropped part of it. Even after maximizing the content the flash remains still cropped. There is also a problem with images inside the content because they are played in low quality. Other browsers do not have this problem and also screens with higher resolution (desktops) show it correctly on Mozilla.
Any suggestions?

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(See [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html this Adobe blog post] for technical details about Flash protected mode.)
Please tell us if this helped!

How do I keep the find bar open when scrolling through multiple tabs?

The newest update of Firefox doesn't allow me to keep the find bar open when shifting through multiple tabs. I've tried Findbar tweak however that erases the search criteria as soon as I try to scroll down the page to the next location. Anyone know how to keep the find bar open when i shift from one tab to the next?

There is a more up-to-date "beta" version of FindBar Tweak you could try, if you haven't tested it already. You can find it on the extension's "Versions" page here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/versions/
I did see one other extension with a similar purpose (I haven't tried it myself):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/globalfindbar/

Sound distorted when I listen to headphones since installing latest update

Ever since installing the update on my iPhone 5s, the audio is distorted whenever I try to use headphones. The sound is fine until I plug my headphones in, at which point it sounds muffled as if I am listening to the music through the walls. I have not damaged my phone recently and also tried this with two different pairs of headphones. Both headphones work fine when I plug them into other items; it only gets distorted when I plug in headphones. Please help!

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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

After ver 26 was installed my screen display distorts when scrolling - I tried resetting - no luck - any suggestions?

when I use either the scroll down bar on the right side or arrows up/down the display on the screen distorts at an angle as it moves up or down. does not reset with time

I think I saw a screen shot of this in a different thread, but I can't find it at the moment.
When there are strange display artifacts, I suspect a graphics driver incompatibility.
As a workaround, you could disable hardware acceleration of graphics in Firefox and in Flash (if relevant):
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Any improvement?

Flash button problem when scrolling

Hello.
I posted this in Dreamweaver forum as well....just in case.
I am using flash buttons for email links in my web site
rather than html email links to help with spamming.
They work great except for one thing. In my site I have a
fixed Div on the left of my pages. The content scrolls sideways
underneath the fixed div. However....the flash buttons scroll over
the TOP of the fixed div while the rest of the content goes under
as it is supposed to. I have the fixed div set at z-index of 2.
This isn't an issue in Firefox, only IE7, so far.
Any one know of an easy fix for this rather than creating a
new div for each of the buttons?
Here is the link to the problem page - its the email link in
red towards the end of the page. Watch the link go OVER the drums
as you scroll. (it should go under)
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/article3/flashBtnScrollexample.html
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"

Scrolling Flash Content With Mouse Scroll Bar

I created a custom scroll bar in AS2.0 and it works great.
But now I would like the content to scroll with the mouse scroll
wheel. Any ideas?

Anyone know how to fix this on Mac Osx, it works in preview
but not in safari. Any pointers?
var mouseListener:Object = new Object ();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta)
//contentMain._y += delta;
scrollFace._y -= delta;
if (scrollFace._y >= bottom)
scrollFace._y = bottom;
if (scrollFace._y <= top)
scrollFace._y = top;
updateContentPos ();
Mouse.addListener (mouseListener);
function updateContentPos ()
var onePercent = (bottom - top) / 100;
var scrollPerc = Math.floor ((scrollFace._y / onePercent) -
37);
var contentNewY = (contentMain._height * scrollPerc) / 100;
//trace (scrollPerc + " " + contentNewY)
contentMain._y = -contentNewY;
}

When launching and opening tabs from links in outlook express not all tabs appear

Since upgrading to Firefox 21 when I click on links in emails in Outlook Express not all the links open new tabs, but when I attempt to close Firefox it says there are more tabs open than are being displayed. Firefox also becomes sluggish to non-responsive during these "evolutions". If I open Firefox first before clicking links in emails it does not display this behavior.

The DDE fix does not appear to address the same problem I'm having. I receive no error windows or indications of any kind, the tabs just never appear, yet when I close firefox it will ask me if I want to close all "X" tabs ( and X appears to equal the number of tabs I tried to open).

Outside container in place, yet contents moving when zooming and in IE.

Hello,
Been working on a new page for about a week and have hit a brick wall.
Placed a div container around my entire contents in hopes to keep them locked at all times, however, this is not the case.
In Chrome and Firefox, when zooming in and out, you can see the right side shifting. (And is it me, or does the right column look longer than the left by just a hair???
And in IE, it doesn't even look like my page. WHY?
http://www.saintleo.edu/VirtualTour/demo6.html
I hope you can see what I'm asking for. As always, I appreciate your time and assistance.
Kind regards,
JK

Hi Nancy,
I trust your opinion and have always learned something from your advice.
I've started with what you have given me, however, I'm almost afraid to touch anything as I'm prone to overthinking or complicating the code.
For example, my current worries are:
1. Do I have to create div's in order to add spacing between the thumb images and text since it falls under one big <p>?
2. The design that you provided is clean and sharp and I love it. But, will I still be able to ultimately have the thumbs populate the larger image in the middle area which will play the Vimeo files?
I guess that's where things spun out of control with my first go at it. I just don't want to move forward without checking with you first.
Here's my current code: (Thank you again, Nancy. You are so very helpful and I can't thank you enough.)
