Unable to run videos in neither Safari nor Firefox.

Since installation of Lion I have been unable to watch videos in either of my two browsers. Videos run the first time a browser is opened, but after that a box appears in the video window. It is captioned ADOBE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS. It cannot be moved, nor does it respond to pressing the "ALLOW" or "DENY" buttons. It seems as if a new file is installed in the OS during the first running of a video. Has anyone experienced this problem? Has anyone found a solution to it?

Problem resolved. I completely uninstalled Flash Player (you must use the Flash player uninstaller utility available at the Adobe website) and then did a clean reinstall of the Lion Beta from the Adobe website.

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

Neither Safari nor Firefox will display PDF files. Anyone know how to solve this? Safari vs. 5.0.5. MAC User. Thanks

Since yesterday neither Safari 5.0.5 nor Firefox (latest vs.) will display PDFs in their windows. Black window for Safari, white window for Firefox. Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks

Quit Safari.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Move these filess to the Trash.
PDF Browser Plug-in
AdobePDFVieweer.plugin
Relaunch Safari. See if that helped.

Neither Safari nor Firefox can view PDF files on the web - they appear blank?

Starting a couple of weeks ago, now when i'm at a web site and I click on a link that is a pdf, the screen is blank dark gray. I closed Safari and opened firefox and tried to see if that would work. Firefox also didn't display the pdf, just a blank white page. It had a note saying I needed to disable some plugin and restart, which I did, but it still doesn't display a pdf.
any suggestions? I keep all of my software updated and have Acrobat 9 as part of the CS5 suite on my system.

Try this...
Quit your browsers then open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF browser plugin to the Trash.
Relaunch a browser to test.

Unable to load youtube videos. Neither browsing nor the youtube app are working, this hapenned after I updated to iOS6

Unable to load youtube videos. Neither browsing nor the youtube app are working, the video start loading but nothing more happen. This issue is hapenning after I updated to iOS 6.

Try this first.
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 - let go of the buttons.
And then try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
And ... Are you using the mobile YouTube website?

Safari (nor Firefox) will not open eBay...

This is so weird!
I have a G4 laptop, less than one year old. Has worked fine since I bought it in December 2005. Then 2 weeks ago, ONLY Safari started to not "remember" my password for eBay, that had been added to my Autofill preferences months before.
Today, I was online working in eBay, went to do some errands, and shut off the computer. When I came back home and turned on the computer, I tried to connect to eBay again, but now I get an error saying "Safari can not connect to the server." I can select any other web site and have no problem accessing - just not eBay.
Then, I tried to use Firefox to access eBay - same error message. I called my friend who has the same ISP as I do, asked him if he could access eBay - no problem. So, not the ISP. Then I went to an internet cafe and connected immediately to eBay - no problem. Came back home, started computer again, conneceted to internet, Apple site, Yahoo, my bank site, etc., etc., etc., but when I typed in (or tried to use eBay bookmark) same problem ... can not connect to eBay server.
Tried to connect with Firefox, same no connect.
yes, I have cleared cache, history, cookies, even ran Disk Utility for Permissions, Tech Tool 4, Disk Warrior ... still could not connect to eBay, but can go to every other web site I tried!
Anybody know the solution to solve this so I can get back to work on my eBay store?
Thanks,
John

Another suggestion - unplug your router. Wait a few minutes. Plug-in. Restart Safari or Firefox.

"Window" menu doesn't show a list of all my open tabs in Chrome, Safari nor Firefox

It's a weird thing, but recently, I found that the 'Window' menu item Mavericks is not showing a full list of the tabs that I have open in any of my browsers. I've tried with Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I even tried uninstalling Firefox as a test and reinstalling to see if it was app related. But same problem. I think this is something buggy in Mavericks that's going on.
I tried using the Onyx tool for Mavericks to see if the maintenance scripts would help, but to no avail. I wonder if running the scripts awhile back was even perhaps the source of the problem? In any case, very annoying, does anyone have any idea on how to fix this, barring a clean reinstall of Mavericks?
See the screenshot below. I have 4 tabs open, but it only shows the name of the active tab.

This isn't possible in default Firefox, and not even in the upcoming Firefox 4 (that has Tab Sets already in the prebuilds of beta 4). I understand this is a big deal (Tab Sets in Firefox 4 will have a tab search feature, which should help things a bit) for users with many tabs on many windows, so I believe there should be some extension that helps cases like yours. Feel free to look for one at [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

Can't disable Web Address Auto-complete in Safari nor Firefox

Hi there,
I am trying to disable the web address auto-complete in order to access my Intranet Server. I tried configuration inside Web Browser (firefox) but doesn't work. Seems to be system configuration since is the same with Safari. If I enter the address http://myserver:8080 always autocompletes to http://www.myserver.com:8080 and can't access the Intranet web server...
Thanks in advance for the help.
Pepe
Mac OSX 10.6.2

Safari and Firefox, both have a configuration utility to solve this. In Firefox, writing about:config in the address bar and look for the features that contains the prefix www and the suffix .com, clear those two fields and that's it.
So, the problem was browser related, not system related.
Thanks

Facebook is the only website that will not load on safari (nor firefox)

I really don't understand the problem. I can load the login page, but it won't log me in. I can't load the homepage (www.facebook.com), but I can get to www.facebook.com/login.php. It won't load on Firefox either. I have a fine internet connection, because every other website works fine. I emptied the cache, but that didnt do anything. i even used another ethernet cable...still nothing. any ideas?

Hi
Facebook will load on my mac, as it did on Reggies and the other macs' you spoke of. There has to be some problem with your user account.
Try it in a test or other user account try Safari in a Test account, to create one: This will show if this is a systemwide problem or isolated to your user name account.
System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options use the [+]
to create one, for ease you could enter "Test" in all fields.
Log out of your user name & into the test acc. if it works there..
As well as the trashing of the com.apple.Safari.plist. that Reggie wisely recommended do the following.
Quit Safari go to HD/Users/Your user Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder, drag the folder to the trash
HD/Users/Your user Home~/Library/Cookies folder/Cookies.plist drag that file to the trash.
Do a restart of the computer. Will Face book load in your user acc.?
let us know.~

Safari and Firefox jumpy scrolling

All of the sudden, wherever I am on any wireless or ethernet connection, neither Safari nor Firefox scrolls normally. It's jumpy and freezes a lot. This isn't a mechanical problem, because scrolling in other applications works as normal. It's become too annoying to be on line on this computer. Any suggestions?

HI,
Sometimes mine does that also, especially with Safari. Restarting your Mac usually takes care of the problem unless it's chronic.

Can't run videos on Safari, only on Foxfire. On Safairi I get a message that Adobe Flash is out of date, but I can't update-it won't take ID or PW.

I can't run videos using my Safari browser, only on Foxfire. On Safari when I try to run a video, I get a message that says my Adobe flash player is out of date and to download new adobe flash. However, when I try to run the Adobe Flash player installer, it won't take my Apple ID and PW. I tried creating an Adobe PW and ID, but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Thank you.

it should require the name & password for an admin account on your computer - not an 'apple id' or adobe one...
where are you downloading Flash from - here ?
What does Safari say in Help - Installed Plug-Ins for the Flash version ?

Unable to play videos on Microsoft website

Viewing web camera on safari or firefox

Hello
I recently purchased a mbp... Trying to get to grips with moving from pc to mac, and doing ok for the most part, except one little thing:
On my pc, i was able to see on IE8 my web camera (a level one camera) located at my home (spying on the baby sitter!). I cannot get it to work now on safari nor firefox (because i did read around and people were saying that firefox might be able to view the file)
I get an ActiveX warning and a still image instead of a live feed shows up on my screen. When i refresh the page, the clock has moved to the current time, but again only a still image shows. I run flip4mac but nothing. Anyone any ideas?

From the research that I have done, I didn’t find any solution to this issue.
Most of the surveillance cameras and consoles need ActiveX control in order to work. Furthermore, some special line and more expensive cameras support java streaming that you can use in mac os.
Unfortunately you have to wait until Microsoft will permit the usage of ActiveX controls for any other operating system.
P.S. You can also install a virtual Os with xp in your laptop (probably it is the only thing that you can do)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled
