I cannpt play BBCiPlayer, C4 on Demand, etc through Firefox, but I can on Internet Explorer

Mostly I use BBC iPlayer, but sometimes I go to C4 on Demand or other similar sites. For about two weeks now, I select a programme on any of the BBC tv channels and a caption comes up "This content does not seem to be working, try again later". The same happens on other demand sites. I have reloaded Adobe Flash and Java script, but it makes no difference. I have just tried Internet Explorer and find I can get i Player

BBC actually has more than one method of streaming audio, and in the UK video, are you in the UK (including for BBC purposes IOM & Channel Isles).
I am guessing you are using the Flash Player streams, note if you do that FlashPlayer uses different plugins for Firefox and Internet explorer.
Test BOTH browsers on the adobe site using
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* see also [[managing the flash plugin]]
Also ensure Javascript is enabled, and try clearing any site cookies and the browser cache (including iplayer cookies if applicable)

  • Netflix Instant Play will not work with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer

    When I log in to Netflix, I cannot play instant movies from my Queue. I called Netflix and they said to reset my router. I did this and now Netflix Instant play works with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
    I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

  • I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • I have the adaptor I used to use to play Netflix from my iPad to the tv but I can't do it now with my ipad2

    I have the adaptor I used to use to play Netflix from my iPad to the tv but I can't play it now with y ipad2. The screen is blank?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

    All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • If I try to stream from a website,it plays then shuts down but works okay with internet explorer?

    The website will start streaming and usually shuts down within a few minutes, yet if I use Internet Explorer it does NOT shut down. Any particular reason? the website is sxmradio.com/oasis.html.

    Which plugin is used to play that mp3 stream?
    Is that the QuickTime plugin?<br />
    In that case you can try to check the steam setting in the QuickTime Preferences.

  • I am having trouible with Pogo/Java. I was able to play games but now it says I have a problem. I can use Internet Explorer but it is so slow. Why can't I use Firefox anymore.

    When I log into Pogo it will not let me play on-line games. Oops, something is not right...
    Java Not Found or Not Working
    Explanation:
    This error means Java (one of the technologies built into most browsers) is not working correctly on your browser.
    You must have Java installed on your computer in order to run Pogo games, and it must be functioning properly. Either you don't have Java installed yet, or the Web browser you're currently using doesn't support Java or you have Java (or Javascript) disabled in your browser.
    How to Fix the Problem:
    Java is a free download that is required to play Pogo games. Not all computers come with Java pre-installed.
    If you haven't played Pogo games before and are getting this error, you probably just need to install Java on your computer.
    For instructions on installing Java for your operating system and browser click here.
    If you believe Java might be installed but disabled for your browser, please be sure to enable the plugin for your browser. If you need help, click here.
    If you already have Java installed and it is not disabled, your Java may be out-of-date or is no longer working. In that case, your Java might need to be upgraded or reinstalled. If you need help, click here.
    I have done what they say but I still cannot get on-line like I was able to about a week ago.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    This has been fixed in Firefox 3.6.15, use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu to install it.

  • What happened to the black band at the top of google with links to maps, gmail, etc? It's still there in internet explorer, so it's not a google thing.

    Google's page only had a search slot in this new version of Firefox. Can I add it back somehow?

    Hi thechrimsonrabbit,
    Is your home page ''about:home'' or is it ''http://www.google.com''. The ''about:home'' is the default Firefox home page with a google search built in. The second link is the actual google page. You might want to save that as your home page if you want all the extra tabs.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After installing 3.6.9 update, none of my plugins are working now. not one...why?everything is still installed and it didn't say that it's incompatible with my version of firefox but i can't see a thing..no foxtab, no script, etc...

    after installing the update (3.6.9), all of my plugins are not working anymore...not a single one!

    One of the files that stores details on installed add-ons may be corrupt. Try removing the files to see if that helps. Firefox will re-create the files and in the process re-build the list of installed extensions and themes. For details of how to do that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • Why can't I order from qvc through Firefox although i can watch video's etc.

    I can order through IE but when I try to order using Firefox it won't go through to and order.

    Most VOIP phone lines do not support faxing because they compress voice signal a lot to save bandwidth. If your fax software allows you to choose a faxing speed, you can try setting your fax modem to the slowest speed to see if that helps. If you only need to send fax, you can use GotFreeFax.com to send free fax online.
