When I watch videos on pbs firefox crashes almost every 20 minutes. what do I do

I have read numerous "solutions" but have only tried a couple - all to no avail. FF does not crash when I watch Netflix or Amazon video - only on PBS online

  • Firefox crashes about every 30 minutes since I loaded norton 360

  • My new iPad Air 128 Wifi keeps crashing almost every 10 minutes.

    I have IOS 7.0.4
    It worked fine for a few days and suddently crashes every 10 minutes.
    Then it asked me to plug it to iTunes.
    Downloaded IOS 7.0.4 and the device was reset.
    After the reset - the same thing happens.
    It still crashes very often.
    I can't use it at all!

    Are you using the default settings applied for Background Auto Refresh ?
    Is it enabled ?
    Try adjusting some settings
      especially related to Background Updating..
    Review your configuration settings in the Settings App.
    Settings ->General ->(scroll down) Background App Refresh
      Try disabling particular apps from performing background refreshes.
        Even better, completely turn off Background App Refresh.
    Also, consider minimizing iCloud Activity.  Settings ->iCloud.
      Selectively enable certain iCloud Activity,
        then later disable it after iCloud synchronization has occurred
          (for example: Photos, Safari Favorites, Contacts, and Keychain items)
            Mail and Find My iPad are the only I leave enabled all the time..
    Also check if you have iCloud Backup enabled..
      Settings ->iCloud ->Storage ->Backup
        you might want to disable that too
          (turn it on once in a while but maybe you don't want it running all the time..)

  • My Firefox keeps freezing when i watch videos, telling me "firefox has stopped working"

    It also says something about firefox pluggins not working.
    It doesn't crash, just 'stops working' and I have to close it with the task manager.
    It has only happened when I am watching a video so far.
    10 minutes after posting this it 'stopped working' while I was just browsing...

  • When I wach a downloaded movie, it goes away every 10 minutes, what can I do to solve that ?

    Can any one give me a answer on that matter?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

    Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7,  when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
    1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
    2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible,  massively burdened and then just crash.
    3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
    I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

    it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
    There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
    Browser  of course matters probably the most.
    I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
    So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
    Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
    Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
    Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

  • When I watch videos on Youtube the video shakes. What is it? What can I do?

    When I watch videos on Youtube, they shake. How can I fix that?

    hello ozltem, i think this is related to this bug in adobe's flash plugin: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3223393 (apparently they are aware of the issue & can replicate it, but they are not fixing it because it doesn't have a high priority).

    You have '''Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181 ''' installed for Firefox.

  • Hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    First, I want to clear up some vocabulary issues. After Effects is not intended for editing video. Editing involves cutting shots together to tell a story. Premiere Pro edits video. While you technically can cut video together in AE, Premiere is much, much better for that.
    After Effects is used for creating shots - visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, animation, color correction, color grading, etc.
    What exact version number of AE (down to the decimal points) are you using? Plus the questions Todd asked, plus the info in the link he gave.
    Also, if you're new to AE, you should really start here. This resource will give you a foundation in how to actually use After Effects that will probably clear up your current problem and prevent much more frustration in the future.

  • How is it that Muse is crashing like every 5 minutes ...

    Hi together!
    I am asking myself if anyone else has the same problems.
    Muse keeps crashing continuosly every 5 minutes.
    And everytime I get the same Error Message (see pic)
    I tried to reach the telephone support today and guess what?
    There is no support for Muse - only the chat which is always offline ...
    I am so pissed and angry.
    Muse seems to me like a very unstable Beta Version of a good program - once it's finished.
    If anyone has the same problems, or knows what this may be, please tell me ...
    Thanks a load!

  • With the latest Firefox, I keep getting error messages on Tumblr, and Flash Player crashes almost every time I watch a video on Tumblr.

    This has been driving me mad for days now. I updated to the latest version of Firefox, but every single time I go to any webpage on Tumblr, (my dashboard, my personal blog, anyone else's blog) I am bombarded by error messages saying "too much recursion." I usually get anywhere from 3 to 5 messages per page. I reverted to Firefox 34 and can now access Tumblr just fine, but then I am faced with a different problem. When watching videos or vines on Tumblr, they can spontaneously lag, jitter, or stop playing. If I try to resume playing them, then they might start playing but all audio will be cut out. This seems to cause some kind of problem with Flash Player, because after it happens on Tumblr, then it will happen on ANY video playing site I visit. If I try to watch a video on Youtube, the video will spasm for a couple seconds and then go to static and say "An error has occurred, please try again later." I've tested it out on other video sites like Blip, and they also cause audio and video bugs. Even if I close Firefox and restart it, the issue will not be solved. The only way I have found to fixing the crashes is to manually reinstall Flash Player (which requires me to reset Firefox anyway). This has been a tremendous annoyance, as I have had to reinstall Flash Player and reset Firefox about five times on any given day for the past week or so. This is driving me to consider dumping Firefox for Chrome, and I don't want to do that.

    Okay, I updated my graphics card drivers just for good measure. I also started Firefox in Safe Mode, and there weren't any bugs. So I isolated the problem by turning on my extensions one by one, and it turns out that something with my XKit extension was the cause. I manually removed XKit and reinstalled it directly from the XKit website. Now everything's working fine again when I use Firefox 35. Thank you!
