Misplaced youtube toolbar buttons (NPAPI flashplugin with Firefox)

Whenever I open a youtube video, the buttons on the toolbar of the player get sort of jumbled up, and give me this: http://imgur.com/SprXKao
I have tried searching it on internet (with lots of possible keywords), but no success.
The problem persists on latest Firefox (30.0-1; updated today) and flashplugin 11.2.202.378-1. It has been bugging me since the days of Firefox 28. I don't remember what started this.
Edit : This only happens on the first video I play on Firefox and goes away after reloading.
Everything works properly when I use HTML5 player or pepper-flash in chrome.
Am I the only one facing this issue?

Thanks for replying.
It's definitely not the plugins, because I've tried it on a new profile and problem was still there.
Reinstalling the codecs didn't work; the problem persists.
I got this while reinstalling gstreamer-good and gstreamer-good-plugins:
(gconftool-2:4330): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified

The Google Toolbar doesn't work with Firefox 5 and all my bookmarks are saved in the toolbar. How do I go back to version 4?

Unfortunately any enhancements that you've made with FF5 don't outweigh the loss of my bookmarks in the Google Toolbar. How do I go back to FF4?

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

got an update alert from firefox to update which i did and saw a window that came up saying that update was succesful but that yahoo toolbar was not compatible with firefox and my yahoo toolbar has vanisehd and not been able to get it back i have mozilla firefox 9.1

Get the latest Yahoo Toolbar as mentioned in the following Yahoo Toolbar User Guide:
* [http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/tb8/tb/tb_start2.html]
I have checked and the Yahoo Toolbar works fine in Firefox 9.0.1. Check and tell if its working.

Foofle Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the previous Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
take care

Firefox is telling me my yahoo toolbar is not compatible with firefox 4.i have no refresh button or any of the others . will there be an update to make my yahoo toolbar work with this new firefox?

firefox 4 came on my computer thru an update. now i do not have my yahoo toolbar that has the refresh button the home button and the other buttons that are on yahoo tool bar. i want to use my yahoo toolbar and it says it isnt compatible with firefox 4... HELP!
fire fox does not have a refesh button it doesnt have a home button so i can access my homepage. i want that back

As Digital Persona have abandoned it, there will be no update to their extension. It may work with the Fingerfox (SE) extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se

When NOT using icons on the toolbar, side-bar drop-down for additional toolbar items has disappeared with Firefox 4 and accessing these items requires clicking 'Bookmarks', then 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Toolbar'--ugh, what a pain.

On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

Norton toolbar no longer compatable with firefox 4. Do I need to go back to IE so I have it working?

Norton toolbar incompatible with Firefox 4. I need to use IE or Safari for my browser since I upgraded. I would prefer to use Firefox but to many things are no longer compatible.

Norton have a history of being slow when it comes to updating their products to work with Firefox updates. Norton have indicated they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May, I do not know about other Norton products - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
If you want you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 pending updates from Norton.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Can I use Norton toolbar and Identity Safe with Firefox ?

I currently use Chrome on my Windows 8.1 PC , and I am considering switching to Firefox following good reviews , but I would want to be sure I can use my Norton Identity Safe and toolbar .

Yes, Norton keeps their Firefox extensions up-to-date with the Firefox release schedule; the updates are usually available within hours (if not minutes) after Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. Much, much better than other Security Suites that are currently available.
As already mentioned, all the user needs to do is to run a Norton Live Update after Firefox is updated, although sometimes the user may need to run the Live Update a few times to get all the updates to download and install.

Why a toolbar called iMesh associated with firefox ? its affecting my laptop

by mistake i downloaded iMesh and its stuck with firefox browser as a toolbar. i have uninstalled firefox and dowloaded it many times and still this iMesh getting installed with firefox, infact even when firefox was uninstalled still iMesh poping up dialog box, after hard work i managed to get a rid of iMesh but i dont have firefox anymore, if i download firefox again this iMesh comes with it.
so how can redownload firefox without this toolbar ?

You can set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to get a close X if only one tab is open.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Freecorder toolbar is not working with firefox 4

My main 4 warrior of my firefox browser are Freecorder tolbar, Speed dial, AVG toolbar & Alexa status bar. I can't live without these. But after I upgrade to firefox 4 two of those (freecorder & AVG) are not working (means these two don't support firefox 4).
Please fix these 2 add ons with firefox as otherwise I could never upgrade to firefox 4.

I tracked it down to a conflict with xScope! Quitting this app (which I always keep launched) makes the issue completely go away in FF, and launching it makes it consistently happen. Entirely reproducible. Reporting to Iconfactory now.
For others that have this, can you find another program that when launched causes this but when quit results in the issue disappearing in FF4, or do you also have xScope (by iconfactory) active while seeing this? I'm running 10.6.6.
I only have FF as a testing browser (front end developer), Safari is my main browser. I also tested with extensions disabled (Firebug + FireQuery) and they are not involved in the conflict.

Why is Norton 360 toolbar disabled and incompatible with Firefox?

I recently switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox 26 - I have the most recent updates for both products, but my Norton toolbar will not enable - the add-on extension states it is incompatible with Firefox, even though the Norton site claims it is compatible. The Norton Vulnerability Protection was also disabled, but after checking for updates in the toolbox, it was enabled. Is my Norton working while browsing in Firefox, and when will my Norton toolbar be available?

Norton just released information that they will support FF 27.
http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-27-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/1089865 
I have been struggling with upgrading to FF 27 to get the Norton Toolbar. But I am not wild about the awesome toolbar. But it is better than Google Chrome and IE 9. I have Windows Vista.

Google toolbar doesn't work with Firefox. How to Fix?

The Google toolbar doesn't work with my current version of Firefox. When I went to update, the Google toolbar was removed and I can't get it back. How do I fix this so I can still use Firefox?

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.

Youtube videos won't play with Firefox.

Youtube is still working with Safari and Chrome but for some reason it stopped working with Firefox. This happened the night before it updated to Firefox 25. I thought the update was the issue but it's not. I've tried everything that I've read about to fix this issue. I've tried playing vids in safe mode, updated to the latest version of flash, disabled hardware acceleration, I've cleared all cookies and cache, I've reset firefox, I've deleted all my add-ons, I've deleted and re-installed firefox. Nothing is working. Anyone got a clue what to do?
OSX 10.6.8 Macbook 2.4 Ghz

I have the same problem. I followed all of the above suggestions to no avail. Advertisements play fine. But when the skip option pops up, it doesn't count down smoothly from 5 -0 seconds. It will say, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, and then sometimes you can skip ad. It doesn't matter if you skip ad or not. When the video comes up, it acts like it wants to load and play but will only play for a second, then restarts from beginning and says an error occured. Same thing in Explorer. And this is a brand new, Windows 7 64-bit computer. Is there anything else I can do to get Youtube videos to play?

Youtube is not playing videos with firefox 17.0, writes: an error has occurred please try again later. chrome is playing videos normally.

I tried the advises with cookies and cache but it is still not working. i have windows vista and now i installed firefox 17.0. chrome is playing videos normally. I have no idea what is wrong, I have installed the same firefox on windows 7 to my friend few days ago and it was no problem with youtube. I have flashplayer 11.
thank you

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
If the above doesn't work then could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
