In youtube any video gets open for download, I think through an add-on but I have a few of them and i don't know which one

For example, say, I open this youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ORhEE9VVg
Firefox opens it and whithin 5 seconds, with no action on my part - no clicking, typing, nothing - transfers me over to:
https://r7---sn-8p85jvh-nv4e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?mm=31&source=youtube&ratebypass=yes&dur=272.462&mt=1423341461&mv=m&ms=au&fexp=907263%2C924628%2C927622%2C930676%2C943917%2C945098%2C947225%2C948124%2C948909%2C952302%2C952605%2C952612%2C952901%2C955301%2C957201%2C959701&ip=79.100.24.238&upn=3_qYUmHqoVM&id=o-ALB3CMI8PMR7Ylk-0D_a76ghgOzcADyQvQ21B3HCYCCW&sparams=dur%2Cid%2Cinitcwndbps%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Cmime%2Cmm%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cpl%2Cratebypass%2Crequiressl%2Csource%2Cupn%2Cexpire&initcwndbps=1272500&expire=1423363109&sver=3&pl=20&requiressl=yes&mime=video%2Fmp4&key=yt5&itag=22&ipbits=0&fallback_host=tc.v7.cache5.googlevideo.com&quality=hd720&signature=D5CA5BD786DB0F73296165DE1C2EDE972A6EAAF353.893EB11517D389BCA3436ADEE89CF0D6C2D60E2420&title=Taylor%20Swift%20-%20Blank%20Space%20%28HD%29
Which sometimes stays in the address bar over a completely blank window, (like in the case stated above) and sometimes opens a download window, with the video in mp4. It suggests I open the file with VLC.
Is this a virus or something - or is it something an add-on would be responsible for?
I have the following add-ons (in the way that they are listed on my toolbar):
Down them all
Download Helper
Flash Video Downloader (which recently got automaitically updated)
Download flash & video (forgot this add-on's name, that's what it says on the tool tip on mouse-over)
FlashGot
and GreasMonkey (but with only 2 scripts, and none of them related to videos, just IMDb fixer and Image enlarger)
I have the VLC Media Player Plug-in, could this be the reason this is happening?
I know what you're gonna say - try disabling them to see which one it is. It's complicated :) but I can't, I've got too many windows open, like 700, and shutting Firefox down or restaring it the normal way is near next to impossible sometimes :)
Another way is for me to save my session file and open a new session, and then disable add-ons one by one to see which one's to blame. It's even possible some of them are maybe incompatible with this version of Firefox.
So f someone can tell me if they're having the same problems, and maybe suggest a solution, I'd be happy to hear all about it.
Thanks in advance :)

Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

    Everytime i try to download firefox3.6 it says if i wish to run or save the file (I say run),then it says something about a temp. file and I say to run.Then it asks me what file i wish to use and I don't know which one.If i use Mozilla,then it kicks me out and it won't let me get the newer version.

    Usually when someone mentions "passowrd" in a posting it will not be related to an Adobe product but to the machine that you are trying to implement some installation or update for.  If you explain more about what you are trying to do and describe what you encounter it might be easier to determine what you are dealing with... include a screenshot to help explain as well if you can.

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I have a budget of $2,200 and I don't know what to buy; The MacBook Pro 15 inch for $2,199 or the MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display for $2,199. I LOVE playing games but I don't know which one would play games faster.Take note that I wont upgrade anything.

    The MBP w/ Retina Display is 2.3GHz but the other without Retina Display is 2.6GHz. So I don't know which one would play games absolutely flawlessly. I wont have the screen resolution so high on the games though. So can someone reply and tell me which one I should get and why?

    Mac's are generally not 3D gaming computers and laptops especially are not because 3D games require a upgraded video card to take advantage of newer games and more feature rich updates.
    Only the Mac Pro can one change the video card, if one can find a upgrade for it.
    If you really love 3D gaming, a Windows 7 3D gaming tower is your machine.
    http://www.cbscores.com/index.php?sort=ogl&order=desc
    3D gaming on a Mac is sort of a second hobby, it's rather short lived as one can't replace the video card once a year, only with a new machine purchase.
    Most 3D games are for Windows anyway and Apple almost demands OS X be upgraded to newer verisons annually now, so that sort of throws a monkey wrench into a Mac gaming rig with software upgrades and all. On the other hand Windows 7 is supported for a decade.
    Mac's just don't work well with 3D gaming, perhaps a Win 7 tower and a iPad or something.

  • I need a sim card for my 3G refurbished phone and don't know which one to use.  I get a message IMEI 01181100937 939 4 How do I find the serial number

    I can't find which carrier to use on my refurbished I phone 3 G.  The screen says I need a sim card and has the message IMEI 01 181100 937 9394.  Also ICCID unknown.

    They are free at Corporate Verizon stores; retailers usually charge for them.  You also can call Customer Service and have them send you one.
    And you don't need a SIM card to activate an iPhone 4S on VzW's network.

  • DW 8.0 or CS3 - don't know which one I should get

    Looking for advice on which DW version to go for. I'm
    extremely new to DW and have designed many sites in the past using
    FP, so it looks like I will be converting sites from FP to DW AFTER
    I figure out what I am doing. I am confused on which DW I should
    start learning. I got a book to help me learn the 8.0 version but
    this was AFTER I saw there were no more trials for 8.0 and now I
    have downloaded the free trial of the CS3 version and the book is
    pretty much following along and have done a tutorial which turned
    out good and was fairly easy to follow.
    Is the CS3 version the newest and is it better than 8.0? Is
    one harder than the other for beginners to learn? I've been doing
    lots of searches on this forum as well as online but can't seem to
    figure which is better and more user friendly. I'm seeing how
    others are having problems with 8.0 and then also with the
    additional download for 8.2 I think it was. I'm looking for some
    expert advice from other users before I make the plunge and
    purchase - which one ??

    DWCS3 is way different from DW8, but not in ways that
    necessarily hit you in
    the face. The integration with Photoshop, for example, is
    excellent. The
    CSS rendering is excellent (but could still improve). The CSS
    editing is
    WAY better.
    I guess if you aren't using CSS, though, you wouldn't
    appreciate these
    differences....

  • I need adobe reader but don't know which one to download to my new Mac Pro with retina?

    I need help...I need to download adobe reader for my banking and such. But don't know how to do it let alone what one I should choose. Could someone please help me. Thank you bunches

    You download from the Adobe website.  Follow the step by step instructions.  Any questions post in the Adobe forums since it's their product. 

  • In my account's profile, the entire page is turning into symbols and I cannot download the program as I don't know which one the download button is (have a screen shot if needed)

    I have just purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.  I received all the appropriate emails with serial numbers etc.  I go into my Adobe account so I can download the content and I cannot read the page as all the page content is in symbols.  I obviously don't know what they are saying nor which button it is to download the program.  I have a screen shot of my product's page if necessary.  I have tried going through Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. 

    Hi kirrileeb,
    Are you having trouble with other websites, or just with Adobe? Let's start by clearing the browser cache, and logging back in to http://www.adobe.com. You may also want to try a different web browser as well. Are you able to download Acrobat from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X?
    If you're still having issues when you're looking at your account on Adobe.com and downloading Acrobat, let us know. If you write back, please let us know what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS or Windows.
    Fingers crossed that all goes well when you clear the cache, but let us know if it doesn't.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

    I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
