Linux Firefox install html 5 video tags only playing when Firefox run as root user?

Installed Firefox 12.0 in CentOS 5.8 as root user. Any user can open FF but when visiting pages that have html5 video content only when FF is started as root is FF able to display the video ...otherwise you get the "No video with supported format and MIME type found."
Tried installing FF12.0 in users local directory as well still no luck.

So this doesn't work for you with the video tag?

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Did you install the 32 version of plugins assuming that you've installed the regular 32 bit Firefox 12.0 version?

  • Real player plugin won't work anymore? How do i fix it? Videos will only play when the plugin is turned off and i am unable to download videos?

    the download video box does not come up anymore and the videos do not play?

    Probably due to the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin being blocked by Mozilla due to the huge number of crashes it has been causing over the last week and a half, or so.

  • You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. Was working before yesterday.

    Standard definition You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. HD videos will play at 720p, no 1080p. It was working until yesterday. I have not made any changes to Firefox. I tried upgrading to the latest version. This is not helping either. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer. The problem exists on both of my computers.

    hello kmcvety, this should be an issue which is going to be resolved in firefox 36 - you could try it out right now in the beta version:

  • HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

    Since installing Ios7   280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Speakers only play when headphones are plugged in.

    My internal speakers only play when the headphones are plugged in. (System preferences-Sound tells me I'm using Internal Speakers, audio port for sound input).  When I remove the headphones, the red light in the jack goes on and the computer says I'm using Digital Out ("The selected device has no output controls.)
    I have read many community responses, most saying that the switch inside the headphone jack hasn't engaged, that I should fiddle with it using a paperclip/bobbypin/toothpick or just plug-in and unplug headphones repeatedly.  I have repeatedly both of these to no avail.  When fiddling, I don't really know which bump inside there is the switch, I've played with them all. 
    No, it's not dirty, I've blowin air, vaccuumed, dusted. Same problem.
    I do use my speakers often for work and pleasure, go between different external speakers and a projector.
    It seems that the computer has things backwards- headphones unplugged is pluged and vice versa.
    Any suggestions or clear guidance as to what I should be fiddling with when I stick a bobby pin in there?  No need to refer me to old posts, I've read them.
    Thanks in advance,
    TheKip

    If your phone is still under warranty, Apple will service your phone for free.
    Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try another set of headphones? Are you suing the headphones that came with the phone?
    Is the headphone jack plugged in fully into the headphone port?

  • Audio only plays when started from the beginning?

         Hi! I'm fairly new to flash, i'd consider myself a beginner, but recently i've been tasked with making an animation for someone! There is a song playing in the animation, it's a wav and it's on its own layer. There are also drawings i imported in too.
         My problem is, i want to be able to sync up the little drawings to the words of the song, but the audio only plays when i start at 0 on the timeline. If i were to start at let's say frame 24, it won't play. Does anyone know how to fix this? This commission needs to be finished by Wednesday and it's a S L O W process, having to start it over only to hear like one or two words later on

    change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream.  retest.

  • Help!my ipod only plays when its in the dock :(

    a couple of weeks ago I couln't get my ipod to turn on unless it was in the dock (I've got those little speakers that charge while it plays) so I tried resetting it but nothing happened. I was going to send it off to get it repaired, but tried resetting it one more time and it came on - the only thing is no matter how long it's charged for every time I unplug it, it says the battery is empty, so now it'll only play when it's plugged into the speakers. I'm assuming the battery's a duffer, I only got it at Christmas. Can anyone help??
    any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi,
    Same thing happened to a friend of mine.
    You need to get it repaired - I don't know where in the UK you live, but if you have access to one of the Apple Stores take it in, other than that take it back to where it was bought, you are obviously under warrantee.
    My friends was a duff battery, and they replaced the iPod.

  • How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

    I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
    The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

  • Some of my video files only play for a five second duration in QuicktimeX.

    A few video files I have only play the clip for five seconds, but when I play the same exact clips in VLC they work, it is only 3 or 4 video files, but it is a problem, also when you see the little video icon, you see the video, for the ones that only play for five seconds, you see blotches, and a grey picture. Is there any way to fix this problem? The file format is in .avi

    When trying to play open the inspector (CMD + I) and mention what the codecs are.

  • Embedded video files only play audio

    The newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 will only play the audio portion of video files I add to it. The first frame of the video shows in the navigator panel, and the files show up and are viewable in the media browser. The selection handles for the video files are visible but that's all. This version also doesn't show the video content created in previous versions of keynote. In version 3 files I'd had .avi and .mov files that worked fine. I've checked the quicktime settings in system preferences to make sure that they were set properly. Suggestions?

    After posting the original question about the newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 only playing the audio portion of video files I add to it, I tried every possible fix.
    Since I'd been using a newer PCI video card recently, I tried just hooking up the monitor to the AGP video card that was still installed and it solved the problem.
    If anyone is considering using Keynote v.4, make sure that you have either an AGP or PCI express slot for the graphics card you use since a regular PCI graphics card won't support video or animation files you add to Keynote.
