Sound has stopped for firefox but works on other browsers! Why?

I no longer have sound with the Firefox browser. Sound works for other browsers (Chrome, Safari, I.E.) but not for FF. I looked in options, plug ins, etc. I have done everything I could to get the sound to work again to no avail. This all started after the latest update for FF. Please help>

Hi Skytyler13,
There are a few different things that might be causing your issue. Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]]? It has a lot of good information that might help you.
Hopefully this helps!

The sound has disappeared on Firefox but works with other browsers. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I was watching a video of a musician on YouTube and all of a sudden, there was no sound. I tried it using Chrome and had no problem. I refreshed Firefox, but still no sound. Can anyone help?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

I use babylon as my dictionary and it dosen't work properly with firefox, but works with other browsers!

Babylon as a dictionary has a feature to simplify finding of word's meanings. This feature is using of middle mouse button to click on any word and in any application such as internet browsers to find its meanings, but this dosen't work in firefox 3.6. When I press middle mouse button on a word, it dose not select it correctly or may be select another word. Any solution?

I had this problem. I fixed it by right clicking on the website page and found I had inadvertently ticked "block images from this website". Uncheck this and it's fine!

No sound with Flash player. It works with other browsers

I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions but there is no sound when the most recent version of Flash Player plays a video.
This is with Windows 7. Sound works in other browsers with Flash Player

HT5622 iPad 3 and my sound has stopped from speakers, but can get from headphones. It's not the side switch and the volume is max in all areas. Anyone got any ideas, what problem is and how to fix it thanks

Hi,
My iPad has just stopped working with sound from the speakers, it works fine with the headphones in. The soft mute button is not made and the volume is at max.
Any ideas what problem is and how to sort. Thanks

System sounds can be muted from the software switch in the task bar as well as from the side switch depending on how you have it set up. This my boilerplate resonse for sound issues.
1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Firefox not displaying website slider properly but works in other browsers

I am creating a website and the slider image is showing at the side of the website. I am using firefox 20 . It works fine on other browsers and other peoples firefox but for some reason it is not showing correctly on mine. This is the test website http://greatgreendeals.co.uk/exmoorsafari/. I have a screenshot but I can not see how to upload here

The #megaMenu is floated to the left, so it pushes div.featuredposts to the right. Try adding clear:left to div.featuredposts so it wraps down past the float.

The source code for my website shows up wrong for title line in firefox but not in other browsers-how can i correct it? My ranking depends on this.

I see the same "Accent and English Skills Training for Success" title in Firefox as in Google Chrome although the title tag has a different value: <title>EnglishWorks.us</title>
Is that title set via JavaScript?

I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
As a workaround, do the following:
Start RealPlayer.
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

Video will not play in IE but works in other browsers

I have a flv video on a page which was placed there using Dreamweaver CS4. It plays in all other browsers I test it in except IE7. (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) Others verify it dooesn't play in IE7 also. Doesn't even play when I test in 'preview in browser' while in DW. Page passes validation. Can't for the life of me see why. Any ideas.
http://www.princetonmarketing.net/new/pmg-production.html

You've got all these references to scripts but I'm certain you don't need them all. Is this an older page created in an earlier version of DW?
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Try commenting out the JavaScripts running on your page and then systematically re-introduce 1 at a time to see where the culprit is.

The bottom bar, which shows the URL, the "lock" on secured sites, etc, is NOT THERE on firefox but is on other browsers. What can I do?

As above, the bar across the bottom, which shows the URL, the "lock" symbol on secure sites, etc., IS NOT THERE on any firefox page I open. It is there on other browsers but I would like to continue using firefox. What should I do?

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.

I cannot change the font size on firefox. Works on other browsers but not on FF and writing is too small. Ctl+ works but its a nuisance each time

Have windows 7 but even on Vista the fonts on FF are too small and I cannot change the size.

You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:

Netflix is lagging (video/audio not matching) in Firefox but not in other browsers

When I open Netflix on Firefox, the audio and video start off in sync but in less than a minute the video falls far behind the audio. I tried it in Chrome and it worked fine, just not in Firefox. I also deleted the temporary Silverlight files (suggested on Netflix's support site: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/219) and of course I've tried restarting the browser many times, but it still doesn't work right. Help? I'm using Windows 8.1 on HP.

Please check your antivirus/firewall settings to make sure that silverlight xml application traffic is not flagged.
*[application/x-silverlight] mentioned: [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/28572?start=10&tstart=0]
Are you using 64bit mode? [http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx]
Try to restart the browser after deleting the temporary files, it may also be the size of the cache. It is also possible to clear the cache for just netflix by going to about:permissions searching for netflix and clicking on "Forget this site"
I do not think that accleration would affect it, but to be sure please try:
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:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, 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 (or Preferences) 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!
Thank you.
