I cannot post comments on YouTube with Firefox anymore, but can on IE. Intermitant problem, some videos I can post to.

The comment box is grayed out on many, but not all videos. The problem is only on FireFox; I can go to the same videos on IE and have no problem posting comments. I have Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64 bit. The problem is new, has been working properly till a few days ago. I refreshed Firefox to default settings, been through Youtube help menus, and Firefox help.

I tried restarting Firefox in Safe mode and then went and commented on a video and whalla it actually worked.... so then I thaught it must be a plugin problem.
I disabled all my plugins then re-enabled them one after the other until whalla I found the culprit!
The error is in the DownloadHelper 4.9.14 Extension Plugin, hope the Authors of this plugin are reading this, it is causing users commenting and posting errors in Youtube and needs to be patched!
Hope this helps others!

  • How to download a video in youtube with firefox 4.0?

    before this, i use firefox version 3.x.x and i use inbox.com to download a video from youtube, but when i upgrade firefox to 4.0 the download button is gone... how to download a video from youtube with firefox 4.0

    Did you check the home page setting?
    *Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I downloaded version 4 and now I cannot connect to the internet with firefox. The lower version worked fine. It keeps saying I'm offline. Any suggestions?

    I have used the older version of firefox and it worked fine. I downloaded version 4 and now cannot get on the internet with firefox. It keeps saying I'm offline and to check a particular box to correct the problem. I have no idea what they're talking about and would appreciate any help.

    Ah I figured it out.....Mcafey was blocking it. Why on earth did AVG being uninstalled update mcafey settings, to block firefox?

  • After installing Firefox again, I wanted to get back my settings, bookmarks etc. by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser

    After formatting the partition and installing Firefox again, I wanted to get my settings, bookmarks etc. back by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser was uploaded and now I cannot have the browser the way I used to have. Is there any way to reverse this changes?

    Hi zoomy,
    First check that you still have data in your sync account.
    Firefox button > Options > Sync > Manage Account
    It should tell you how much data is stored in the account. Is there any?
    If there is still data in the sync account then you can follow the instructions in this article [[What is Firefox Sync?]]. Refer to the 'How much of my data is synced?' section. Change the option to 'Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data'.
    I hope that works for you.
    If there is no data in your sync account you will be able to get it back by syncing from another computer. Just make sure that the settings on that computer are not replaced by the blank account again. You can use the 'Replace all other devices with this computer's data' option to prevent this.
    Please note that Firefox Sync is designed only to sync details between devices not as an online backup tool. If you are formatting a partition it is generally best to backup your profile folder along with any other data. See [[Managing profiles]] for more detail.

  • Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

    *Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
    Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
    This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
    Problem:
    What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
    The Issue I discovered:
    "RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
    - Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
    - Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
    I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
    Solution:
    Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
    Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
    Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

    Hey Chris,
    I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
         1)  Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel).  Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
         2)  I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop.  I ran this app to install Firefox.
         3)  I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used).  I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
    Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again).  You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning:  Unresponsive script" and says the following: 
         A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding.  You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete.  Script:  chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551 
    Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
    To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
    Hope this info helps!
    Jeff
    NOTE:  As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

  • I need a VoIp app to use with firefox OS but I can't find any.

    I need a VoIp app to use with firefox OS but I can't find any.
    Is there any app like skype or VoIpBuster?

    Hello c.glez.az,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. We don't currently have a Voip app in our Marketplace, but keep checking. Our marketplace is still quite young and new apps are being released everyday.
    Thank you!

  • I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello All,
    Also no answer but am having the same problem.  All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface.  It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
    Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • Cannot comment on YouTube with Safari

    Ever since YouTube updated their design, I've been unable to post a comment (or click on links).
    For example, I'm on a Top Gear video now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7u6yYkTaZU
    To post a comment the comment box says 'click here to post comment'. When I click it does nothing.
    I also cannot click on reply, share, add to, etc...
    Is anyone else facing this issue?
    I'm on a maxed out iMac 2010 with fully updated softward and Mountain Lion.
    Even ran MacUpdate to update all apps.
    I tried clearing out cookies, deleting cache, and removing any plugins.

    Adding those to my exceptions fixed it, thanks. As if I was not mad enough at Google, they seem to want to force tracking you for advertising.

  • [Solved] Cannot browse youtube with firefox?

    I noticed this last night, and it is still not working this morning (could very well be something that was changed on youtube's side of things that isn't compatible with Firefox, since it works with Chrome).  Anyway, if I'm watching a video on youtube, and I click another video from the suggested videos / sidebar the page will load (within youtube's frame — red progress bar along the top of the page, and the title / comments will change), however, the previous video will still be playing and the new one will not load until I refresh the page. 
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  Is it a new youtube "feature" or is some configuration incorrect on my side of things?  Thanks.

    It's not like they can see what plugins and extensions you have installed and so on.
    You'll either have to provide those or you'll have to work alone.
    hahaha I have no idea, I've tried disabling adobe-flash from within firefox, but not removing it from my system.  But then I just get the "you don't have flash installed" error.  I've also tried disabling my adblocker, but I really don't have many FF extensions installed.  I have to run to class in a few minutes, so I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and will come along.

  • Why doesn't Webm and HTML5 Video doesn't work on youtube with Firefox 4.0b8pre?

    I go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. I do not get any video tags or content of the sort.
    If I do a search: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gods+gonna+cut+you+down&aq=0&webm=1
    None of those videos will appear with the video tag. It will all be adobe flash even though I don't have flash installed. Youtube used to work great with firefox4.0.

    The problem is with your user agent. it is:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre
    While it should be:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox / 4.0b8pre
    I have the same problem, and while I do not know its cause, I have found a workaround- install user-agent-switcher.....
    Have you installed firefox-4 with the "daily" ppa too?

  • Can't post pics on forum with firefox but can with Internet explorer

    I can't post pictures/images on a certain forum when using firefox but when using Internet explorer on the same forum it works. Any solutions please?

    Hi Meghraj, Thank you for your reply! I am afraid a screenshot will not reveal much. When I click on "add file" on the forum to post a pic it opens my files and once I select my file that I want to post and click on "open" it goes back to the forum page but the file is not there. When I do this same action with Internet explorer it works. But I don't really use internet explorer and would like to use firefox rather. A few members on the forum using firefox have the exact same problem. Any ideas? Thank you! :)

  • Cannot download for mac - neither with firefox nor with safari

    can anybody help me, please? I'm asked whether I want to download and install or not. But the YES button does not work.
    tried with different browsers but I cannot install.

    Hey Adrian_O,
    It may be that security is blocking the download, so I suggest downloading Digital Editions first and then installing from there. Check out the kb doc below, it has links for manual downloads of Digital Editions for both Intel-based Mac and PowerPC Macs.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html
    For your convenience;
    Manually install Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS
    Finish installing or uninstalling any other applications.
    Uninstall any earlier versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
    Download the installer package for your Mac OS X machine:           
    Intel-based Mac: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Intel-based Mac
    Mac PPC: Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 for Mac PPC            
    Note: If you clicked the wrong Mac  OS X platform, an error message appears. Close the message box and click  the correct link to restart the installation.
    Click Open in the File Download screen to start the installation.           
    Note: If your connection times out, click Save, instead of Open, to save the installer package to your desktop.
    If necessary, unzip the .zip file. If you're using Safari as your  browser, or if Firefox is set up to unzip files, the file unzips  automatically.
    Double-click the .pkg file to start the installer, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Note: If your connection times  out, save the installer package to your desktop. (Click the link for  your Mac OS X machine, and then click Save.) Double-click the file to  start the installation.
