Unable to view flash videos in Firefox. Please help.

Hi there,
I've tried all the troubleshooting from Firefox's troubleshooting guide to no avail.
I'm unable to view videos that require flash.
I can watch YouTube, but I have to enable flash first.
This has never happened before, but now it won't go away.
System: Windows 7 (64-bit)
Adobe Flash version: 16.0.0.287
Browser: Firefox 35
An example of videos that I used to be able to watch were from the Arrow and, ironically, The Flash TV shows.
Now this is the error I receive:
CWTV requires Flash Player 10.2.0 or higher.
Arrow Video - The Climb | Watch Online Free
Please help!
Best regards,
JM.

Please check out the video troubleshooting guide:

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Fan speed and CPU temp viewing Flash video in Firefox vs. Safari ?

My MacBook (two months old) running the latest Safari version (3.1) seems to be working unbelievably hard when viewing a flash video. The temps seem to cycle between the high 60s and mid 70s, and the fan blows at max speed constantly. On the other hand, when viewing the same flash videos using Firefox (2.0.0.12), there is only a slight boost in temp (high 50s to low 60s) and the fan speed hardly increases at all.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Why would the flash player on one browser be so much more efficient than another (Safari seems to labor, while Firebox breezes along)?

Thanks!
Well I guess the code in the Safari browser just wasn't well written. This is true even of the later version of Safari. It does work much better in FireFox, with no crazy heat-up or fan action.
I've pretty much given up on Safari now on everything by my iPhone and iPt, and only because I have no other choice.

Why am suddenly unable to view YouTube Videos on Firefox. I am still able to view on Internet Explorer

I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

Problem viewing flash video on Firefox

just came across a very odd problem happening with Firefox only.
The video loads first time and plays, however if you click the next time it comes up saying cannot access/access denied, couldn't replicate in any other browser.
Basically it works fine first time after clearing the cache in FF.
it's odd, would need a resolution immediately.
- you should get a video link on the home itself.
*in case u cannot access it please try out in sometime since we update it sometime.
Please HELP!

What exactly means "will not allow"?

Unable to view dencrypted JEPG files! PLEASE HELP!

I made the mistake of encryping my files on my SD card on my phone when i first brought my BB Z10. I was trying to back up my pictures on my SD card to my computer using a SD card reader and then i was unable to to see them on my picture view on my PC. The message "files is unsupported....etc." came up so i decided that there could be an issue with my SD card which is disallowing me to use it on my computer (completely forgetting it was the encryption i had on my BB). So i decided to transfer/move all my data and files from my SD card to my computer (encrypted) and format my SD card. Then when it was formatted i transfered my files back on to the SD card and now i cannot view my pictures on either my computer or my phone.
Is there any possible way in which i can view my pictures again, i have not decrypted them but i still cannot see them. When viewing the properties of the files on my phone or computer it still say it has data (1MB for instance). They also do not have .REM after the file name.
Any advice would be greatful, Thank You.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Sorry...nope. Encryption on BB is a very secure system. What you have done has the result of now locking those files from visibility anywhere at all. They are lost.
Sorry.

I am unable to watch Youtube videos on Firefox ?

I don't know why I am unable to play Youtube videos on Firefox (this problem stated around mid Sept. 2014).
I explored many solutions but in vain. Firefox/flash (I am not sure) is behaving weirdly, I found some solutions on 'Mozilla Support' when I apply these, I am able to play YT videos but after some time (usually after a re-boot) I get the screen "An error occurred please try again Later" and this cycle repeats. I use a public Wifi/LAN of my university and everyone(using Firefox) has the same problem, and everyone noticed the problem at the same time.
Some solutions I tried are:
1. Deleting Cache, Cookies, History etc etc
2. Uninstalling and Re-installing Firefox and flash.
3. I do have the latest version of both flash and Firefox
4. Using Firefox in safe-mode (Sometimes even in safe-mode I couldn't play YT videos)
5. Disabling Hardware Acceleration (though I use a I5 machine with Windows 7 and Intel(R) 3000 Graphics card).
6. Tweaking DNS settings (changed my DNS server address to 8.8.4.4 etc)
7. Degrading to previous versions of Firefox (I used FF 28.0 in Linux worked fine for a while and then the problem repeats itself)
I am confused, I am not sure where the problem is, because I use Linux(Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 7 and in both of them Firefox won't play YT videos but Chromium/Chrome does. As I said before videos would play for certain time and then they would stop playing giving me "An error occurred please try again Later......". Another observation is there were only 2 resolutions (1020p and 240p ) available and the result won;t change even if I change them.

Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".
We are secured by "Cyberoam" so I don't have access to proxy sites.
By the way these observations are for Windows 7.

Safety Mode - unable to view youtube videos

Hello everyone
We are having an issue with being unable to view youtube videos.
The message comes up saying that we can not view the video because the computer is in the safety mode.
I have a K9 filter on the laptop and I am pretty sure that what I am trying to view is not at all risky so this is a bit of a pain and inconvenience. How do we exit the safety mode please? And what could be the reason that the computer is in the safety mode. Thank you.
As well as that, if I wanted to take my laptop to be looked at and to have a bit of a spring clean where would I take it? We have had it for three years now.
Thank you.

Hi
Can you please tell us which notebook model do you have and which operating system do you use?
Do you use original OS version that you got with your machine or some own OS installation?

Unable to view music videos in iTunes on mac

I have iTunes on a G5 Mac Pro It is on the latest version of 10.5 with the most recent update to iTunes. I am unable to view music videos many of which I purchased from the iTMS or came with music CD's as extras some are m4v others are mp4.
If on import I set the option for format as being Music Video I cannot get the videa to launch double clicking on the video gives a picture in the album cover window but does not launch the video viewer nor does the video play. I dont often view music videos just Movies or TV Shows and last time I did I recall Music Videos playing they opened in a seperate window and there was once a setting in preferences where you could choose if a video launched in a new window or used on in iTunes.
I have used the info window to change the video type to standard movie and then going back to the file in iTunes double clicking launches the video in full screen mode. Once I then set back to Music Video it reverts to refusing to play.
In any format the file plays in Quicktime
Any suggestions pointing to where the problem may lie would be welcome. I cant see any relevant settings to set how a video displays in either menus or Preferences other than ensuring video window stays on top. It maybe in one of the many upgrades this Mac and iTunes has had the settings have been corrupted.

They will not show up in a separete category in iTunes. This is because the videos will show up as songs so that you can play the audio portion of a video without the video. Try it.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Flash Player.

If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.

Unable to view flash in PDF in Safari

Hello,
We recently upgraded to PDF Reader XI and Flash player on our MAC computer. We have PDF files with flash content embedded. When we open these PDFs using Safari browser on MAC we are unable to view flash content in PDF. However if we download then we can see flash content in PDF Reader XI.
How do we view flash content within Safari directly?
Thanks

In the Safari Preferences, under Security, make sure that "Allow all other plug-ins" is checked in both Mac and Windows versions
