Why won't Firefox for Android on my Kindle Fire HD play YouTube videos?

The default browser (Silk) on the Kindle Fire HD plays YouTube videos. Both Firefox for Android and Silk obviously use the same operating system and hardware. What needs to be done to/with the Firefox for Android browser so that it will play YouTube videos. Firefox on my desktop machine plays YouTube videos.

There is the old insecure Flash 11.1 Plugin that Adobe (and Google Play) has not supported since Android 4.0. As long as you have Android 4.3 or older then you can get the Flash plugin to work in manual install though Android 4.4 has made it so Flash will not work.
However Mozilla has made a workaround for Flash can still work in Firefox on Android 4.4 in as early as Firefox 27.0 if I recall.
There is this thread on getting Flash installed however the poster mentions Dolphin and not Firefox instead.

Not that some sites (News sites are among some I encountered) have since lately been requiring users using Flash 11.1 on Android, PlayBook and Flash 11.2.x on Linux to upgrade to more current (not possible) to view their Flash videos.

Can't initiate video in ichat with all options enabled

In my ichat, I can't initiate video chat with anyone. Under view all video and audio statuses are enable and under video, video and audio chat options are enabled. Help?

Ummm,
Odd.
That sounds like the iChat > View Menu > Show Video and Show Audio Status are unticked (I know you said different in the Original Post).
The next obvious place is the Video Menu which can turn the Camera and Mic On and Off.
I am not sure if iChat 6 in Lion is the one where the wording changed from "Microphone Enabled" to "Audio Enabled" and similarly for the Video/Camera option.
Again you confirmed you had looked at this in the Original Post.
That leaves the actual Internet Speed your computer can see.
If you have not done recently Restart the computer.
As IMAgent starts when the computer does it is involved in assessing the speed available.
Next, before starting iChat 6, do a Speed test
This one needs Flash http://www.speedtest.net/
This one uses HTML 5 (No Flash) http://speedof.me/
You need to see speeds in excess of 128kbps for both Upload as well as download.
Also check iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit Drop Down. This should not be set to lower than 200kpbs

Can't initiate video conference in iChatAV (using airport express)

I have a variation of a problem with starting video conference in iChat via airport express - did read previous posts to the subject but did not find a solution yet.
The problem is: I can't initiate the video conference with my new intel core duo iMac - but I can have one, when the user on the other side initiates it.
I assume this has to do with port forwarding on airport express, since I also have an older iMac G4 which until now was connected to the internet via Siemens ADSL modem C010-I(ethernet) and it worked just fine.
My firewall is off.
I tried to forward ports 4099, 5190 and 5193 (as suggested by www.portforward.com) but that didn't seem to solve the issue. Any other ideas, please?

Hi Reed,
If the modem routes then there is a chance it is doing DHCP as default if you have not changed it.
You can check by connection direct to the modem with your computer and then doing this:
Go to System Preferences > Network.
Select Built in Ethernet in the second drop down.
Select the TCP/IP tab
If the IP listed below the Using DHCP drop down appears the same as when you go here then the modem is in Bridge mode. If it appears to be in one of these groups:
192.168.xxx.xxx
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
or 172.16.xxx.xxx through 172.32.xxx.xxx then the modem is routing.
The Airport does DHCP by default as well.
You do not want two DHCP servers.
This can be turned off in Airport Admin Utility found in Applications/Utilities
Log in to the Airport in the samll window and then go to the Network tab
Deselect Distributing Addresses if the modem is routing.

Wireless Printing with Kindle Fire can't connect to HP1102w

Hi I can't connect mt Kindle Fire to my HP1102w through HPeprint

Hello DannyD219,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It appears that you are unable to ePrint from the Kindle Fire to the LaserJet P1102w. I would like to offer a few suggestions that may help.
The P1102w is only compatible with ePrint after a firmware update, using a Windows computer and a USB cable, check for updates for the printer: HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility.
Here is the guide for setting up an ePrint account: Getting Started with ePrint. (ignore steps 2 & 3, they are covered above)
For more or information on printing from a Kindle to the P1102w, view this: Printing from Kindle.
I hope this is a helping start.

My kindle fire isnt playing video... and im having problems trying to download adobe flash player

My kindle fire isn't playing video.. specifically you tube... and I can't seem to download flash player correctly.

And if your Kindle is new (made after May 2012) you can't use Flash Player, according to Amazon Support

Can Firefox and Firefox Synch be used on a Kindle Fire(Android)?

Before I try to go through the set up, do you know whether the built-in browser on a Kindle Fire can be changed to Firefox? It appears that Amazon is discouraging or preventing this. Thanks.

The mobile Firefox 9 was listed at http://www.amazon.com/Mozilla-Firefox/dp/B006PKXE3E however it was pulled recently in relation to this tracking bug.
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713777 Bug 713777] - Amazon modifies and re-signs apk after uploading "was Cannot install Firefox from Amazon appstore if Firefox Beta already exists on device" (for reading only please).
Took a little to find it as "[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690791 Bug 690791] - submit Firefox to the Amazon Appstore" was not updated.
You can manually install it and update it manually yourself in mean time since you likely do not have Android Market access. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/9.0/android/en-US/fennec-9.0.en-US.android-arm.apk

Transferring a DVD to the Desk top and then downloading to Kindle Fire

I want to transfer some of my DVD films to my Kindle Fire; can I do this by using the DeskTop DVD Drive first to copy to a store on the computer and then downlaodng to a Kindle, I am not technically dexterous so would like a detailed guide p[lease if it is possible.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi antaustin,
General DVDs won't allow you to simply copy and paste the video files to your PC. You would need to get a video decoder that can change the file to a digital version format that Kindle recognizes. Kindle likely won't recognize the standard DVD format either. If you have DVDs that include a digital version of the movie, you can copy that to your PC and then put it on your Kindle.
I'm not sure what version of Kindle you have, but here is some help info from Amazon on transferring video files to a Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200729530
Here is a CNET article on how to make your video files compatible with Kindle: http://howto.cnet.com/2300-11310_39-10010515.html
I hope this helps.

Kindle Fire MIDI file play via Adobe Air

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Video encoding is very important.
For example, use baseline profile level 3.1 for H264 for mobile
(and not High profile level 4.1 recommended for desktop).
For more information, see the MAX session of Fabio Sonnati:
"Encoding for Performance on Multiple Devices"
And if you have an Android phone/tablet, there is my AIR application
to watch Adobe MAX 2011 videos :
https://market.android.com/details?id=air.fr.inway.maxVideos2011
Search "Sonnati" for this session's video.
(For info, i use a video player based on OSMF 1.6)
The pdf presentation is available on Sonmati's blog:

How can I install flash on a kindle fire hd?

Hi erica.laqua,
The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player. Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

Video Playback Android (Kindle Fire)

I have been trying for several days to get video playback working on my Kindle Fire. This is my first attempt at playing video on Android at all.
Upon buildling my .apk, my video file resides at assets/cinematics/intro.mp4. I would like to play this video full screen. What I would really like is a step by step how to guide of playing a video in this manner on Android.
Since Kindle Fire does not support StageVideo, I am trying to use flash.media.Video. The code for playing these videos seem pretty standard. However, I get absolutely no video playing at all.
Here is some version of my code although I have tried many variations:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onMetaData = function(metadata:Object):void {
trace(metadata.duration);
ns.client = client;
var v:Video = new Video();
v.attachNetStream(ns);
stage.addChild(v);
var videoPath:String = "assets/cinematics/intro.mp4";
var videoFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(videoPath);
ns.play(videoFile.url);
I am not 100% sure the url I am passing to ns.play() is correct. I have tried using also "file://" + vidoeFile.nativePath but with no luck.
I have read somewhere that setting "Use Network Service" to false could resolve this issue, but that did not work either.
I have tried copying the file to the File.applicationStorageDirectory and playing the video from there, but that did not seem to work either.
I am also not real sure how to debug this issue. What events should I be looking for? How can I get some sort of error message telling me what may be wrong?
Thanks for you help!

It seems that you may be clicking the "skype" symbol on the tablet, which will take you to the skype homepage.
Rather than doing that, go to the word "Apps" and touch that. You'll be taken to an app page where you can touch the "skype" app that is associated with your personal account.
