Navigate away from site with flash under Firefox4 + OSX, very slow. Bug?

I have problem to navigate away from a page with flash under Firefox4 + OSX. Very slow (takes 30-60 seconds after clicking on a link). No problem in Win/Ubuntu with Firefox4. No problem with Firefox 3.6 or other browsers under Win/Ubuntu/OSX.

When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
you mean
locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
through a web
browser from that website location?
If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
the images
are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
in order to
play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
plays quickly.
How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
images? What DPI?

  • Anyone using 4.0 Beta 5 on MAC and noticing Adobe Flash creating boxes when moving away from site where flash is used?

    Just upgraded to FF 4.0 beta 5 - noticing that when I visit a new page that uses Flash, I navigate away or to other sites and the box that Flash used is blanked out and super-imposes itself over the page. That means when I move from the flash page, the only thing I can do it close the browser and reopen.
    Yes, I am using 10.1 (or whatever the latest flash is for my MAC - that also has all its updates). Reverted back to FF 4.0 beta 4 and NO PROBLEM using the older beta version. HELP.

    That sounds like a known problem on OS X. From the known issues section of the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b5/releasenotes/ Firefox 4 Beta 5 Release Notes]
    "Plugin content can be rendered incorrectly leaving blank white squares over web content. Scrolling or switching tabs will often fix the problem, although sometimes you must close the tab which contains that plugin content (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592453 bug 592453])"
    This should be fixed in the next beta.

  • Every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with ' do you want to navigate away from this page'. How can i get rid of it?

    every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with 'do you want to navigate away from this page'. For instance when i am on FB and i want to view a picture i am asked the question, also if i go to hotmail and want to go to the inbox the same question is asked. All i want to do is navigate away from pages without being asked EVERY single time. How can i switch it off

    This issue can be caused gadgets on the Facebook page.
    You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit.
    If you added or updated gadgets recently than start with those.

    This can be caused by Facebook gadgets. You can try removing Facebook gadgets until you find the culprit. I have seen reports of various gadgets causing this such as Ginga, Facebook for iGoogle, Deal of the Day and Smiley

  • Firefox crashes every time I try to navigate away from a page to a different site.

    It seems to only happen when I have more than one tab open, but every time I try to navigate away from the originally opened page, it crashes. This has just started happening today (3/19/14) and I have tried to resetting Firefox but it did not remedy the problem.

    hello, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter '''about:crashes''' into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.

  • How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

    In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

    Try using this extension. <br />

  • Need to stop playback of an FLVPlayback component when navigate away from page!

    I have an movieclip playing as auto start on the first page of my website.  The component continues to play when I navigate away from the page.  How can I stop the playback of the movie if it has not completed when navigation away from the page is invoked.  I have search and am unable to find such an event using an FLVPlayback component.  Presently there is no code in actionscript to display here.
    thanks

    Hi, this is the entire code that is placed on the timeline in frame 1 of the AS line.  There is now an error and the FLVPlayer component, which is also begin in frame 1. At this point there is one method that I thought should work when the vTinesDayBtn is clicked.  However, is not.
    The error is:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/vTines()
    ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/stoppedVid(). Expected 0, got 1.
    The code is:
    stop();
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    import fl.video.*;
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    function stoppedVid() {
      vidPlay.stop();
    vTinesDayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stoppedVid)
    function vTines(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(20);
    vidPlay.stop();

  • Audio keeps playing after I navigate away from page?

    Hi
    When I play media, for example a YouTube video, when I navigate away from the page the audio keeps playing. This is unique to Safari. Firefox doesn't behave in this way. Any ideas how to fix this?
    Cheers.

    1. System Preferences >  Flash Player > Advanced >  Delete  All
         Press the "Delete All" button
    2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
        Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.

  • Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

    Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

    The key here will be to determine what is different between the machines that work and those that hang.  Of all the systems that fail, they are all Windows 7 32bit?
    Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
    Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
    Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
    What about hardware, are there similarities here?  Attached devices/drivers?  Software that is running at the time?
    These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
    Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
    Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
    We're definitely interested in what's going on.  I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
    Thanks!
    EDIT:
    Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
    I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
    So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
    So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
    Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
    Any new ideas?

  • How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

    I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

    You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
    What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
    techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
    is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
    like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
    But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
    and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
    done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
    software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
    and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
    anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
    these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?
