I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

It maybe because your javascript is disabled .

"Clear the Cache":

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Firefox won't play Youtube videos or media videos

It is 2 am and for almost a month now Firefox has slowly been degrading to the point of being completely and utterly useless. First, vine videos went. Then the weather.com videos stopped working. Every video based website online has stopped working right up to youtube finally cracking out today.
Videos won't play. I run firefox in safe mode and STILL, videos show up as a black screen. I tried turning off 'hardware acceleration' in flash, still nothing. I tried clearing the cache, history, deleting firefox altogether and reinstalling.
I'm running Windows Vista. Using Chrome, every video based site runs impeccably so it is definitely a Firefox conflict. I should probably just stop using firefox altogether, but I've been running it for years and it's what I'm used to. I'm getting down right sick of this though.
Things I have tried:
-Running in safe mode: Nothing
-Clearing the cache/history: Nothing
-Disabling add-ons one by one: Nothing
-Disabling hardware acceleration on Flash: Nothing
I don't know what else to do anymore.

Update your Flash player. It is currently blocked because you have a vulnerable/blocked version installed.

Many thanks for this! I managed to install the Flash Player with this successfully after many failed attempts before.
Thanks again

This problem can be solved selecting manually the video resolution.

I just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't play any videos on the internet. Is there a fix for this or how can I go back to the previous version.

my firefox 4 wont play any videos. adobe flash player says its not compatible with this arcitecture. Did anyone bother to test this before releasing it.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I don't want to uninstall my persona. I want to uninstall FireFox 4. I love my persona.
It really bugs the crap out of me when FireFox sends these upgrades around and I click "yes" to install them then my entire desktop stops working.
Is it always necessary for their upgrades to render the add-ons that people develop useless?

Facebook won't play youtube video's on my macbook pro, it says that i need to upgrade adobe flash. But on Safari, youtube plays perfect.........i need some answers

I have my mid 2010 macbook pro. Just last night while using facebook i tried to watch a video and it won't play and it says that i need update adobe flash. But when i watch youtube videos on safari it plays perfectly fine. Is there a problem with facebook concerning adobe flash?.................please help.......i need some answers!!!

Isn't suppose to be a software update for adobe that can fix this problem....
No.
Software Update is for Apple software. Adobe is 3rd party.

I updated to the newest version of FIREFOX and now my NETFLIX won't play, YOUTUBE videos will not play. I was one of the people that donated to you this year.

Hello Mozilla/FIREFOX I just updated to your latest version and now my NETFLIX nor my YOUTUBE plays anymore. I just get a black space without any volume or play symbols - this isn't working for me. I donated to your organization as I am a supporter but you'll need to honor your side of the street. What are you guys doing to fix this and by when will it be resolved?

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Playbck window is green and footage won't play

Hi,
I'm using an ACER Aspire 5920, and the Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Operating System. Last month I did some filming on a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder then imported the footage into Premiere Pro CS4 and did all the editing bits and pieces I needed to do. A very smooth process.
However I've tried to do the same this month and although I've used the same camcorder and not changed any of my Premiere Pro settings I'm having trouble editing.
When I click the play button to show the footage in the playback screen, the screen is green and I cannot see any footage at all, but I can hear the audio. When I click on the playback window, the audio playback stops but the first image from the footage appears. When I click play again, the footage image disappears, I can hear audio but only see green screen.
Image here show's the problem:
Any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to give!

Liv,
The embedded Intel graphics chips are good for general computing, but fall very short for either image editing, or especially video editing. It's not so much the chips themselves (though they are limited too), but the lack of driver support. With a desktop, the "fix" is to bypass the embedded chip (by DIP switches, jumpers or through the BIOS), and replacing their function with an nVidia, or ATI card. Unfortunately, with a laptop, this is not normally possible (would say is totally impossible, but there might be some exceptions).
The problem is that an NLE program, like PrPro, has to interface much more closely with the video driver, than almost any other program on one's computer. Photoshop is similar, though not to the level that PrPro is. Video drivers are very, very important with video-editing.
Glad that you have a new machine on order. Go with nVidia, or ATI for the graphics, and be wary of any mfgr., that does a proprietary driver. I ran afoul of such with an older Toshiba. Though it had nVidia chips, it would ONLY work with the Toshiba re-written drivers, and Toshiba never issued any. I had to "roll my own," and that was a bit of work. Both Dell and HP seem to do some video driver tweaking, but are much more regular with their releases. Not sure how Toshiba does nowadays.
Good luck,
Hunt

Firefox won't connect to internet but IE will!!

I'm using latest edition of Firefox on windows 07 laptop. Two days ago my internet connection slowed significantly (i was only one) for few hours but then things got to normal. My computer updated (windows) last night and when tried to turn on firefox it won't connect or load website pages. First it said errror in my connection, now message says 'the connection has timed out'. I have done everything stated on firefox support (checked proxy - am on college network so it was on auto and I switched it to no proxy - no luck), I checked my firewall (managed by mcafee) and even though windows is not being used on my laptop I added firefox just in case - no luck. I did the other steps on the page - no luck. IE is working fine and at reasonable speed so it's not the connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Edit: don't know if this may help but googlechrome won't work for me either - it opens, and tries to connect to page but never does. . .

[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox?s=cannot+connect+after+upgrading+firefox&as=s]]
For me the problem was McAfee Security Center running on Windows 7. I reset McAfee and Firefox connected again.

Firefox won't display ANY videos, but Chrome/IE will.

It's all in the title really. FF won't display any videos. In Youtube, the screen is black, apart from the red "play" button in the middle. When I click play it says "an error has occurred". In any other video sites the video section is blank, white. I have uninstalled/reinstalled both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Firefox is also fully updated.

hello, yes, you'd have to uninstall flash from the windows control panel in windows7 (just diabling it in firefox won't work in this case). alternatively you could run the uninstaller-tool that adobe provides on its website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

Firefox unable to play youtube videos: "An error occurred, please try again later."

Tried deleting cookies, clearing history, reinstalling flash, firefox safe mode, all add ons turned off, made a different firefox profile, restarted firefox to its default settings. Nothing works, start playing any youtube video and at the 1 second mark the error appears. It doesn't matter if the video is embedded.
Curiously, youtube does work in chrome.
What do I do?

If your computer doesn't have any sound (no speakers hooked up, etc. then
plug in a set of headphones and see if it works. I know it sounds funny, but I've been dealing with this problem for months on a work computer that has no speakers. Plugging in a set of headphones fixed the problem.
Youtube now requires a sound device present to work correctly.

Safari 7.0 won't play YouTube videos correctly.

Since upgrading to Mavericks and Safari 7.0, YouTube videos will only play for a few seconds before stopping. There is no audio, and if I click play nothing will happen, however by scrubbing forward or backwards it will continue to play for a few more seconds before stopping again. I have emptied my cookies to no avail.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video.

Palm treo pro t850 won't play youtube videos

im using my home wifi connection to go online with my treo pro. it loads everything perfectly except SOME youtube videos. and it only happens when i am running as a mobile device. when i run as a desktop device everything loads. any ideas to what could cause this?

Try Safari and Lion forums, then bookmark the actual MacBook Pro forum.
And maybe a url if you want it to be cecked. And try Chrome. Try Firefox. And make sure your plugins and extensiions work. Safari was updated and there were security updates. And only install from Adobe such as
http://getflash.com or www.adobe.com and downloads.
