When i open a youtube video in firefox it immediately shows that whole video is streamed when it is yet to stream fully

I am using Firefox 3.6.13. When i open a youtube video in firefox it immediately shows that whole video is streamed (the progress bar shows red instead of grey). But the whole video is yet to be streamed. The information of how much is streamed becomes unavailable.
Listing 2 of the problems encountered because of this
1. Unable to estimate how much time I have to wait before the video is fully streamed
2. Cannot go forward or backward in the video in the streamed part.
(This problem does not occur in IE. I tried the link given below)

I think once I did not even see the page in my history

  • Everytime I open a youtube video (embbed or not) I get a black screen and my whole pc crashes. Only happens in firefox, no other browser.

    Newest version of firefox, and flash. Tried clearing cache. Been having this problem for a year or more.
    No mater what I do, if I open a youtube video in firefox, my pc crashes. Black screen and I have to hit the manual reset button. No error report to send, no idea why this happens. It does not do it when using chrome.
    Really irritating and going to cause me to give up on using firefox if I cannot find a solution soon.

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    Can you check the Windows event log to see if that gives any clues about the Windows crashes if you get a BSOD?

  • Safari Browser in my iPhone 5S Hangs/Crashes when I was trying to open an Youtube video.Why is this happening?

    My iPhone 5S(Boasted as Worlds smartest smartphone) Hangs/Crashes when I was trying to open any Youtube video....
    Is there any fix for this apple.......???
    I love my iPhone 5s.But I'm pretty dissapointed.
    Coz...........
    Feeling ashamed of buying a smartphone worth Rs.51,000 which can't play a youtube video in its stock browser.
    Its a zippy task that can be done by a mobile worth Rs.5,100........
    Its shame on your part Apple..........
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    Consider this bug & fix this in iOS 8......

    Google's Chrome browser is very well capable of doing what I want with ease....(on my iPhone)
    But Apple's Safari browser(much praised) cant move a speck on it...
    Why???........Whats wrong with the stock Safari Browser???

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

  • Can't install open office; youtube videos + green screen; using call HP Tech Support fails

    Can't install open office; youtube videos are green screen (audio ok); using call HP Tech Support fails (no reason given)
    1) Can't turn McAfee Livesafe off, and think it's what's keeping me from installing Open Office.  It downloads but can't install. 
    2) At work on wireless guest,  youtube looks fine.  At home on ethernet through DISH satellite, it's green screen.  This is not he case with my older HP laptop connected to the same ethernet cable.
    3) Why is HP tech support rejecting me, after I type everything in?  If I ca't use it, don't make it an option!!!!  The forums were choice #2, so here I am ... make me proud ...
    Thanks everyone!!!!

    An alternative to OpenOffice would be KingsSoft Office, it performs better and still Free:
    http://www.kingsoftstore.com/
    McAfee products are problematic on some systems and suggest you uninstall it using their removal too then reboot:
    http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
    Build in Windows Defender should reactivate after the reinstall.  As an antivirus product it is adequate as long as you practice safe surfing habits.
    Windows key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin) and type:  sfc /scannow
    Let me know if it does not fix all or any corrupt system files.
    Reboot and now try your Youtube.
    I do not have an answer to what transpired between you and HP Support but only to say you should come here first.
    Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

  • SOS! I can't open any youtube videos! Urgently need help

    I have a Mac Pro and suddenly, I wasn't able to open any youtube videos, I get a black screen with no audio. I tried clearing both browsers cache and flash player but still didn't work. I even tried it with both browsers Chrome and Safari. Help please.

    Hi,

  • Mozilla (specifically) wont load Youtube videos, or streamed shows, but everything else. Why?

    Most people will readily say this - but I have absolutely no idea what I've done to change any form of settings. However Mozilla won't play any Youtube videos or streamed shows. The screen just stays blank (black). I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash and that didn't fix it, and I've tried most of the troubleshooting options, none seem to work.
    I've opened up Internet Explorer and they have no problems playing any video. It's just Mozilla. I'm not too sure what the issue is. I've googled such problems and any form of related issues seem to want to clear any cache or cookies - didn't work.
    Anyways, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    The most likely cause is the latest Flash update. Please see this article for more information: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • Firefox freezes when trying to open new Youtube Videos, what can I do?

    I run Firefox 19.0.2 and the latest Flash plugin. All of a sudden Firefox freezes when I try to open Youtube videos. I can only kill it with ctrl+alt+del.
    Note that I CAN watch Youtube videos that are saved as favorites and I also CAN watch videos I click as related videos. However whenever I use the search bar and click a new video I haven't watched before, Firefox will freeze over and over again.
    I already tried disabling the hardware acceleration, as well as deleting the cache and varying cache size.
    I also tried re-setting the dom.ipc config settings as stated here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/909133
    So far, nothing would do the trick.
    Your help is much appreciated, thanks a lot! :)

    Thanks Cor-el!! It's over!

  • My website doesn't open/start youtube video, after link clicked. In Firefox only.

    On my Joomla project (running under xampp local host) has a link to a youtube video, which worked fine, but not anymore. After clicking it, the resized pop-up window (java script) doesn't open the video. Window remains black and status beam at the window botttom shows 'ready'.
    This problem wasn't there in former Firefox releases (3.6.. now) and doesn't occur in ms-IE, Safari and other browsers.
    Please let some one fix this.
    Regards
    Jac

    Can you post a link to your website?
    Do you see any errors in the Tools > Error Console about that problem?
    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Whenever i open a youtube video, firefox goes really slow and often stop working. Any suggestions?

    I have installed the plugin extension, but still whenever a youtube video is on firefox is like drop dead.
    Stop working and lag awfully.

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
    You might also consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • Whenever i try to open a Youtube video in browser, it launches the Youtube App instead of opening it in browser.

    Hi,
    I am using Moto G with Lollipop. Recently i installed Firefox on this device. I tried to open Youtube video in browser itself but it just launched Youtube App and played the video. !!! Its quite weird because Chrome works fine. Kindly help me in this regard.
    Thanks :)

    This is the expected behavior. If you want to avoid the youtube app you can use the request desktop site option in menu of Firefox to play youtube in Firefox.

  • Firefox reset the PC when I try to open a Youtube video

    With Firefox 4, when I try to open a video from Youtube or a newspaper web my PC is stopped and then have a complete system reset. One time a blue screen appears saying the file ati2dvag have problems.
    Mi Windows is a XP Pro SP2 with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 pro.

    Thanks you for a solution!!

    Update drivers, or check the dust on the pieces... piss on it

  • I get an error message when I try to open a YouTube video link from a news website

    Huffington Post has links to You Tube videos. I always get the error message "An error occurred, please try again later" if I attempt to open the link. I haven't tried from any other site.

    I've had this problem for ages, and I finally solved it with the help of:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Copy_data_to_the_new_profile.
    This solution will reset your settings to which sites you allow or deny to set cookies, display images, open popup windows and initiate extensions installation.
    1. Close Firefox
    2. Start >> Run >> '''firefox.exe -p'''
    3. Create Profile >> Next >> Finish >> Start Firefox
    4. Close Firefox
    5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\''[Your User]''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    6. Copy the file '''permissions.sqlite''' from the new profile folder to the original profile folder
    7. Start Firefox
