Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!

  • Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

    I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube  with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

    Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
    I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
    Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
    You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
    For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
    No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
    Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 works with Firefox but not with IE8???

    Hi Gang: I need help, I have downloaded adobe flash player 10, enable my javascript in IE8, but when I attempt to run youtube videos, I get the error message, javascript need to be enable or you need to download a newer version of adobe flash player. I then opened Firefox instead then run the same youtube videos and everything is perfectly fine. Why can't I run youtube videos in IE8 with the adobe flash player 10? What is the fix?
    Thanks

    What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.
    http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html
    You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

  • Want: Adobe Reader with Firefox but not with Safari

    I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for awhile, but still use Safari at times. I use Adobe Reader to display PDFs within Firefox, and it is currently also used by Safari.
    I'd like to take advantage of Safari's new ability to natively display PDFs within the browser window without using Adobe Reader, but I want to continue to use Reader with Firefox.
    Does anybody know of a way to make this happen? It seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition since the same plug-in is used by both browsers.
    iBook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   It's white.

    well, you might try quitting safari & firefox, then moving the adobe plugin(s) from /hd/library/internet plug-ins/ to /applications/firefox.app/contents/plug-ins/ In finder, press Apple-shift-G & paste the italicised text above into the box - this will take you to the firefox plug-ins folder ( assuming you have firefox in the applications folder )
    then restart the browsers & see what happens
    Please note - I don't know that this will work, but it's easy to try & easy to revert back to normal - just quit the browsers again & move the plugin(s) back where they came from.
    I'll just test it with a different plug-in......

  • Ebay login loop with Firefox, but not with Chrome

    When I log in to Ebay using Firefox, everything looks OK. I can buy and sell (so I'm definitely logged in), but when I attempt to go to "My Ebay", It presents the login screen, even though I am already logged in. If I fill in the login details, it simply re-asserts the login screen, and I sit in this loop indefinitely.
    I have cleared cache and cookies several times, and have deleted and reinstalled Firefox to no avail. When I contact Ebay support (I have spent 3 hours on thje chat support and 20 minutes on the phone), they tell me to use Chrome or IE. I downloaded Chrome, and I can access Ebay perfectly with it, but I am currently at my daughter's place for Christmas, so I am using her wireless connection, and we both use the same ISP (plus.net), and on her PC, she uses Firefox, and I can access My Ebay by signing in on her laptop.
    What's going on? For Ebay access, her Firefox works; mine doesn't. My Chrome works, but Firefox on my PC doesn't.

  • Why do I need to hit Zoom In 6 times with Firefox but not with Intermet Explorer?

    I have Windows 7 Home Edition on Dell Inspiron computer.
    When using Firefox, every screen comes up so small I have to zoom in 6 times, whereas I have no such problem with Internet Explorer at the same websites, pc settings, etc.
    I have tried changing things under 'Tools', but to no avail.
    Under such conditions, I favor using IE instead of Firefox. Both browsers are of latest version: Firefox 7.0.1; IE 9.0.8112.

  • Can anyone tell me why games are semi transparent in Pogo? I only have this problem with Firefox but not with IE9 or Chrome

    When I click on a game, the game window opens and is solid, but when it's fully loaded, it becomes semi transparent and washed out. I can post a screen shot of what I'm talking about if this forum supports it.

  • Google Mail looks "funny" thru Firefox, but not through google Chrome.

    Lots of empty rectangles and bold lines. Very stark looking!

    I gather that reloading the page (Ctrl+r -- or, to bypass cached files -- Ctrl+Shift+r) isn't bringing it back into line...
    Do you recall any error messages about the site, security warnings, etc.?
    Do you use a "high contrast" theme for Windows 7?

  • I can't access my Google email account on Firefox, but can on Google Chrome: What has happened to Firefox in the last 48 hours to cause this glitch?

    Yesterday morning, when I opened Firefox, my home page did not load, and a message indicated I had signed out appeared. When I tried to sign in, I got a message that either my email address or password was incorrect.

    Try clearing the cache and deleting Google cookies, this can sometimes help with accessing a site that previously worked. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies

  • After I installed 4.0.1 I can't install add-ons. I have tried to reinstall firefox but it wont help. What is the problem?

    '''My computer:'''

    When I try to install an add-on, the installation bar won't move, and I can't remove/delete the progress too.

    Yep, Firefox see's that website as being a forgery. Chrome and Firefox use the same database for phishing and web forgeries - they jointly developed that system.

    Are we supposed to guess what the error messages are that you get? We can't help unless you provide some information. We can not see your iPad so can not see the error messages.

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.
