Flashplugin freezes Firefox when making youtube video bigger.

I'm having this weird problem where if I try to make a youtube video bigger it completely freezes my firefox session.

I'm using firefox-nightly and libvdpau-git-flashpatch(necessary so I can enjoy videos without a blue tint). nvidia driver and flashplugin are from the repos.
My /etc/adobe/mms.conf contains the following:
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
OverrideGPUValidation = 1

The greatest feature (of many in firefox) is the use of extensions like: http://www.bestvideodownloader.com/
you can install it for download any video in various formats and play it directly with your favorite video app.

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).
Linux AMD video driver : Catalyst v14.4 (amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip)
Linux Flash polayer version: 11,2,202,400 (deteced from https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ )

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb

Firefox cannot download youtube video

firefox can play youtube video but it doesn't show real player download pop-up window and cannot download with real player.

I found that the plugin container for Firefox will not work with the Real media plugin. It crashes every time. Firefox itself handles the plugins just fine, so I bypassed the plugin container for that plugin by adding a setting in the about:config window setup.
* dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386.<name of plugin> - set to false
You can find the names of the plugins by typing about:plugins into the address bar and hitting the Return key.
Another thing you can do is set Firefox to hand off to the Real Player as a helper application to play the media, from Options > Applications.

I have Shockwave Flash 16 and 17 and am running Firefox 37, but youtube videos keep crashing.

I have Shockwave Flash 16 and 17 and am running Firefox 37, but youtube videos keep crashing.

Thanks for reporting your solution to Flash lockups, which included reinstalling the Flash plugin after first doing a complete uninstall, including manual removal of leftover Flash files and folders.
For the benefit of others reading, Adobe includes instructions for uninstalling Flash on Windows in their own help article (linked from the Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems Firefox article) which is:

When making a video how do you get it to record sound?

When making a video, how do you get it to record sound? When I playback my video you can't hear anything?

Thanks so much! Whatever I was trying only worked randomly. You made my day!

Experiencing resolution glitches when watching Youtube videos. Screen will glitch out, strange shift in screen orientation, as well as total resolution failure. Any wisdom on how to overcome this?

I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, and am currently at 69 GB free on the 400 GB space. When I play Youtube Videos or visit websites which stream video, as well as when I run certain high graphics applications (games particularly), the resolution will just crash.
I have read a bit about this online, and have found that it has to do with the CPU and GPU being under heavy load. I think it's a bit silly that the Macbook Pro can't handle a Youtube video, however, so I hope that I may be able to remedy the problem.
Thanks for the help.

Flash Player is 'embedded' into Chrome - and sometimes that's not a good thing. Right now Chrome has the largest market share in the browser wars, though, so I suppose they've some success with the embedding of the player.
Personally, I use Firefox and have had no problems. Safari is good, I just prefer the support of Firefox (which doesn't work with some other Adobe plugin for inline PDF viewing, though).
I don't know why you're having trouble with Chrome - it is very graphics intensive, I know, and has 'broken' in the past with some GPUs. I'd just make sure that you've the latest version of Chrome and if you still have problems, just use Safari or Firefox.

Flash Player Not Playing YouTube Videos bigger than 360p on IE10

Hi Guys
I've been playing YouTube videos on Internet Explorer 10 without a problem but today I suddenly cannot play any video higher than 360p. All I get is a black oblong box with no loading wheel or player controls. When I right click it says "movie not loaded". My Flash Player is version 11,9,900,117. I can still play 720p on Firefox or Chrome, although they do not seem as smooth as they used to (but that may just be my imagination).
Any ideas why and what I can do? All the research suggests it could be Flash Player but I appreciate this problem may not be directly Flash Player (I'm trying all the various forums to try and identify where the problem is).
Regards,
Graham

Flashplugin-prerelease crashing on multiple youtube videos

I open two youtube videos one after the other in firefox. The first page loads just fine and the video starts playing. When the second video starts playing, the first is still playing sound but the area where flash is on the screen is frozen. Then when I close one tab with a video, flash crashes and I get this in the terminal:

I didn't have any problems with flash until today. I don't know if an update of a package is the cause. I updated the system two days before this started happening, but flash still worked correctly after that update (and I rebooted the system).
I tried to open multiple youtube videos in chromium and the same happens. Only flash doesn't crash when I close a tab, but i get this in the terminal:
[4592:4592:7981533979:ERROR:app/x11_util.cc(59)] X Error detected: serial 16420, error_code 147 (GLXBadContext), request_code 136 minor_code 4 (X_GLXDestroyContext)
Maybe it's something with X?
Edit: I tested flash with videos on vimeo and there it works with multiple videos running.

No crash reports have ben submitted as I was not able to get back to my desktop without re booting my PC as I was in full screen mode and Alt-Tab allowed me to tab through open applications they did not actually switch to the fore ground leaving me with the cideo paused at the point Firefox crashed.
I was able to see the firefox has crashed window whilst Alt-Tabbing but not able to switch to it.
I was watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05x1Jk4rT1A youtube video in full screen mode. when firefox crashed.
I have been experiencing this a lot on my old Ubuntu installation but put it down to possible conflicts with other installed software or installed plugins. In fact I got so frustrated with this that I switched to using Google Chrome which had no issues like this whatsoever.
However I thought I would give Firefox another go on a fresh installation to see if anything had improved.
I have read many posts and seen plenty of reports of this issue but sadly no solutions go back through lots of versions of Firefox.
I'm using the default open source video drivers.
I'm going to go back to using Google Chrome as it is far more sxtable so there is no urgency to resolving this issue but maybe you can find some solution to this seemingly common problem as I have a bit of a soft spot for Firefox and am kinda sad that this issue still exists after all this time.
I am happy to try things out if it is of any help

Hello,
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:
*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 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.

I want to install firefox addon called "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Inbasic. How do I check to see if it has malware

How can I check if the program "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Inbasic has any malware.
When I go to download it has the string
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/413644/addon-413644-latest.xpi?src=userprofile
I'm so nervous about downloading anything for fear of getting my browser hijacked or worse as it has already happened twice. Any advice on this program or if there is a similar youtube download program that is known to be squeaky clean?

Hello,
If you are trying to download videos, i will suggest you to use DownloadHelper add-on or DownThemAll. I have been using both of them and they works pretty well.

No audio when playing YOUTUBE videos on ipod touch via a docking station

Hi there, when my ipod touch is docked on its docking station, it will not play audio on youtube videos, it will play the video but not the audio through the docking station speaker. It used to play audio without problems before, but recently it has stopped. When i take the ipod touch off the docking station the audio on the youtube video returns. any ideas why this has happened? it plays the youtube audio through the head phones too, i can play all other audio through the docking station speakers with out a problem.

There are no setting to change on the iPod.
Have you updated either the firmware on the car or on the iPod since they last played in the car?
This may work:
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos

Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.

Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on.

Firefox crashes loading youtube videos but only there. it's working on other video pages. i started it in a safed modus but the problem is still there. I reinstalled firefox and the flash pluggin but it didn't help anything. What can I try else?

I'm using firefox 3.6.8.
All my pluggins are up to date
Using a link to a youtube video or on youtube itself the page crashes. I only can hear the sound for some seconds, then that stopps too. I have to close firefox using taskmanager, nothing else is working anymore.

Thanks again for your help.
I did these two updates now (java and plugin) and tried some youtube videos. At the beginning I thoughts that it is working now, because normally firefox crashed already with the first or second video. Now it's working for 5-10 videos and only every 5th-10th video brings firefox to crash.
With the plugin-container process thing I'm not really sure what to do. Do I have to disable the crash protection? (the 4 things that are written for window?) Could you maybe help me with this again?

Flashplugin freezes Firefox when making youtube video bigger.
