Movie won't start in Firefox

Could someone please tell why my flash movie isn't triggered
to start when viewed with firefox?
www.burn2dvd.com
I have a feeling it has something to do with integrating with
php.
If you hit the "HOME" button, it would start fine though..
Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,
Not really. The only time I've experienced something like
this, it has been a matter of how the content was loading. If a
main timeline has only one frame and some content is called on to
play before it has loaded, then the play command will fail. If
other code is set to work based on the success of this play, then
they will never run. When you select a menu item, you're starting a
whole new set of things running and the items that are called for
are loaded and ready to go.
Does any of that sound familiar?

TV shows and Movies won´t start, only loading and then nothing

Firefox won't start, profile manager won't start, but firefox.exe shows in processes list (task manager)

Firefox will not start, even though it is listed in my processes in task manager. Can't get profile manager to start either.
I have tried the following to no avail:
- try to start FF in Safe Mode, doesn't load
- started Windows Vista in Safe Mode, FF still does not load
- turned off Kaspersky AV, FF still does not load
- uninstalled FF, cleaned out user/####/AppData/Mozilla/Firefox folder, as well as ProgramFiles/Mozilla/Firefox folder, and cleaned our Registry manually from all references to Firefox. Downloaded FF 3.6.3, installed. still does not load
- whatever i seem to do, does not fix the problem. When I try to start Firefox, no window appears. I can see the process starting in my task manager. I can "end process" and try to start the program again by double-clicking program icon. Process starts in task manager, but no app window appears.
I am frustrated and have just wasted 2+hours of my night trying to get this to work. Downloaded Google Chrome, unless there is a fix for FF (which I would prefer to use), i will have to switch to Chrome.
I can't pinpoint when this trouble started, but may have been after a recent Windows Update. I already did a System Restore to a restore point about 5 days ago (the oldest one available to me, and I believe that was before the FF trouble started). This has not helped either.
I have run a full virus scan with Kaspersky and a Full scan with Windows Defender. Nothing came up.
Anyone else been able to find a solution to this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Less than a week ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.86 Safari/533.4

I found a way to make it work somehow but not really fixing the error... one day when I got really pissed off because FF just won't open, I clicked the icon and killed the enter button, then multiple FF windows appeared. I tried to open it with just a single hit of the enter or double clicking but it won't work anymore, but repeatedly clicking the enter button (mine works with just 3 hits, sometimes 6) seem to open it. And until now, I have no technical explanation for this.

My Movie Won't Start on Frame 1? Newbie

Hi!
This is my first shot at creating a flash website.
I have three layers
and I've divided the timeline up into sections
so I have one for Contacts, Press, News, Home, etc...
However, the home section starts on frames 1-10
but whenever I test the movie, it starts up on frame 40 and
displays the contacts...
Also when you click the Home button, it still just displays
the contacts,
all the other buttons/pages work fine
any advice/help would be kindly appreciated
I can't figure out how to make it start on frame one

Movie does not just start on frame 40, flash timeline run by
default from
first to last frame. You must have an action that cause it.
Upload the problematic sample for us to check, otherwise it
hard to tell
directly how you need to go around it.

Quicktime movie won't play in firefox

Hi. I just made a movie and trailer that I put up on the web. My friend programmed the site. I used apple's compressor program to compress the video for web. I chose the quicktime 7 setting. The quicktime 7 setting in compressor seems to be compressing it into a .mov file. The movie plays fine in safari and internet explorer, but for some reson will not play in firefox.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Does anybody know why I can't get this movie to play in firefox?
Thanks a lot for the help.

This is the web page for the movie. Here you can pull up the source code.
Thanks so much for offering to help me out.

All urls won't start in firefox when clicking on them in thunderbird

When in Thunderbird 9.0.1, I click on a link to be opened in Firefox nothing happens. I have to copy the link location, go to Firefox and paste and go, to open the webpage.

I found a way to make it work somehow but not really fixing the error... one day when I got really pissed off because FF just won't open, I clicked the icon and killed the enter button, then multiple FF windows appeared.

Rented movies won't start playing

I haven't been able to properly download movies from itunes thru my ATV since this afternoon. A rented movie usually starts at playing after 2 to five minutes of renting. I have rented Glenrgarry Glenross this afternoon it is almost 9 in the evening and I haven't been able to start watching. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

There may be issues or unusual demand with the service, if the situation persists you may want to try restarting your equipment (tv/router/itunes)

Flash movie won't play in FireFox or IE

Okay, So I haven't done much in flash in a while. However, I imported a new movie and then published the movie from flash and made an html page as well. For some reason I can not see the movie when I go to the page.
http://www.pe.gatech.edu/video/frankie-pool.html
Does it play for anyone else?
Any ideas on what to do to fix this?
Thanks
Tim

Could be a number of things.
For starters the code calls for this file:
http://www.pe.gatech.edu/movies/frankie-pool.swf
in this line:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.pe.gatech.edu/movies/frankie-pool.swf" />
Attempting to direct download by clicking on the link above returns file not found... so of course the browser will not be able to find it either.
The path to the .swf uses the folder "movies" but the html page in is a folder called "video".
Is that correct in both cases? if it is, the it could be a pathing problem... but of course you have to first make sure that all the files have been uploaded correctly.
There may be as many as 3 files needed, the main .swf file, perhaps a skin .swf file... though maybe not, and of course, the actual .flv file.
Double check to make sure they have all been correctly uploaded.
Then a word about pathing... if the .swf and/or the .flv are not in the same folder as the html page, the path used by the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the html page, NOT the physical location of the .swf or the .flv file.
For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

HT1390 rented a movie- can't find "play". movie won't start no matter what I click on! HELP?

There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
•OS X: About kernel panics:

Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.

The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
Good luck & happy computing!

Unable to open movies in certain sites using Firefox 4, no problem with former versions

As a almost daily visitor of the site Bigfun.be I got a crash every time I wanted to open a movie, since I started using Firefox 4.
After some automatic updates, the crashes disappeared.
But it's still unable to open movie files. There is a message which says that the file is being loaded, but it isn't.
I've contacted the webmaster, he knows about the problem and suggested me to uninstall the version 4 and to go back to the 3.6 version.

I went to that site and played a couple of movies without a problem. Cat & Budgie and Horse on the back seat of a car...lol.
Have a look at your firewall logs. Is the firewall blocking '''plugin_container.exe''' by any chance? That utility is part of Firefox and acts like a kind of sandbox to isolate plugins which crash without crashing the whole browser. But it does need Internet access. Generally speaking, what often happens is the firewall throws up an alert to which the user doesn't respond. So the firewall 'assumes' it's a threat and blocks it.
Can you go to this site: http://www.liveleak.com/ and click on any video. Is the player visible even if it doesn't play?

In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox. 
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)] This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode. 
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.

Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. 
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
