Why do i hsve to restsart to the older firefox to watch 32 bit video

why do i have to restart to the older firefox to watch 32 bit video
it opens the older version but i dont want to have to have two versions of firefox and have to update hoping it will then work again but having to yet again use the older one.

On a Mac, Firefox 4 is a 64 bit application.
Not all plugins support 64 bit and if not then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox

  • Why does my Apple TV disconnect from the internet while Im watching Netflix? If I reboot my Apple TV, it seems to stay connected longer, but it still disconnnects me from my Wifi every 10 mins or so. I am not connected thru the eathernet cable.

    If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do

  • Our CMS does not support new version of Firefox. Can I have the "downgraded" version of Firefox AND the upgraded Firefox both on my Mac, so I can use the older Firefox to manage my CMS?

    Essentially, the CMS we use to manage our website (mainstreetartsfest.org) is Sitefinity, and apparently it doesn't support the newest version of Firefox. And, from what I understand, this version of Sitefinity is not being upgraded at the support level - we are now being asked to spend $$ on moving to a new CMS to support the browsers. Chrome, Safari also a problem. Only IE works, and we all have Macs. I want to know if we can have the older Firefox AND the upgraded Firefox both on our computers so we can use the new Firefox for general browsing, and resort to the older, 3.2 version for managing the CMS. I know I can download a previous version - but I would rather not replace our new version of Firefox in the process.

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Is the new Firefox compatible with Bit Comet?

    When I first became aware of the newest version of Firefox,I saw a notice that said it was not compatible with Bit Comet after I had already up graded to the newest Firefox.This in turn caused me to have to go back to the older version of Firefox that I had been using.Is the newest version of Firefox now compatible with Bit Comet? And if not,why?

    Beginning with Firefox version 4, MACs are required to have

  • After last OS update Why does my ipad browser crash every time I try to watch a video?

    I have tried several different browsers and the same thing happens....i have also noticed that when using facebook in a browser the page will load the timeline and when I scroll down to the bottom of the page it is stuck with the loading icon....I have an iPad 3 that was running fine until the latest upgrade...I have tried all the usual fixes...closed all open programs, rebooted, cleared cache...etc.  Any help is appreciated.

    Please see the video troubleshooting guide.  In particular, check out the section about hardware acceleration.

  • IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

    I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
    How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
    Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
    If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?
    Regards,
    Luis

    No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
    Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

  • How can I drag a tab onto my bookmarks bar, like I used to do in the older Firefox?

    My favorite feature of Firefox is the super-easy bookmarks bar, where I have several folders of my favorite bookmarks, and could easily drag my current tab into one of those folders, or onto the bar separately. Since downloading the new firefox, I still have my bookmarks bar, but I no longer seem to be able to drag and drop onto it. The only way to save a bookmark into specific folders seems to be a multi-step process involving clicking on the star multiple times, and finding the right folder, etc. Is there any way to bring back the ability to drag and drop onto my bookmarks bar?? I miss it like crazy!! Thanks!

    Unfortunately, nothing is working. I am not at all able to drag tabs into the bookmarks toolbar, or the bookmarks sidebar. When I tried to drag one into the bookmarks sidebar, it just opened the tab in a new window. This is so frustrating - do you know if there's a way to uninstall this update of firefox, and get back to 3.something?

  • I have Mac OS 10.3.9 and need the older Firefox 2.x download but can't find it.

    I would like to download an older Firefox version - the latest for Mac OS 10.3.9. Please help me find a download site where I might find it.

    You can get the en-US version from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

  • Google -- images found 57,800,000 results but only 30 or so showed up. How do I view more images? I like the older firefox better: I could scroll through hundreds of images.

    I like the old firefox much better. When I go to Google --> images and type in "spider", Google tells me that 57,800,000 images were found, but only 30 (or so) are displayed now and there doesn't seem to be a way to access more images. Prior to the upgrade, I could scroll through page after page of images to find the best image for my needs. Tools --> options didn't provide any solutions.

    rimsx: Thank you once again for the ideas. No error message is generated. I did try disabling all extensions to see if that did anything, too, and restarting firefox.
    I work on a government computer, so maybe it's a problem getting through our firewall! Who knows? Chrome and Internet Explorer allow me to search through pictures, though, so I've got other options. For some odd reason, I was a little partial to firefox.
    The way things work around here is that I can try using firefox again in a few months and everything will work perfectly!!!!
    Once again, thank you for taking the time with me. You've been very kind and helpful.

  • Why did my iPod  reset itself when I was trying to watch a video?

    Hi Everyone,
    I was watching a video on my ipod and I got halfway through the video and the Ipod reset itself. My iPod is okay after it reset itself. I was wondering has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to fix it?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    lizabler

    Hey lizabler!
    I personally haven't experiened this specific thing myself, by I have certainly read issues like your quite a few times on the Discussions.
    When your iPod resets itself in this kind of case, this happens usually because, while you're playing a video on your iPod, it's not being able to continuouly load and play that video fast enough to actually play the video at a normal speed.
    This can be caused by the iPod's battery.
    How charged/discharged was your iPod around the time when your iPod reset itself? Try letting your iPod's battery fully die, then let it recharge for a full 3 hours, and see if this ever happens again.
    Also, if this ever happens again, have you tried resetting your iPod several times? (holding the "Menu" and middle buttons together for 10 seconds)
    Sometimes your iPod resetting itself can also be caused by your iPod's memory being highly used. For example, if you have a 60 GB iPod, and you've used up 54 GB of it already, this can sometimes somehow bog up the iPod, causing it to act strangely.
    If this iPod-resetting-itself behavior recurrs, and resetting the iPod several times doesn't help, try restoring your iPod to factory settings -> How to restore your iPod
    I hope that info helps you.

  • Why is my RAM preview only playing the first 7 seconds of my video?

  • Why can't I add certificates to the default firefox profile?

    I am using the NSS certutil to add a certificate to users profiles on OS X (10.8-10) running Firefox ESR 31.4.
    There is no problem adding the cert to existing users profiles, however I want to add it so that new users who log in will automatically have the cert installed.
    As I understand it, I should be able to install the cert to a default profile in the application that will then go out to new users when they run FF for the first time, however this has not been the case in my testing. I have been running the cert util, as root, on the directory '/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/browser/defaults/profile'.
    The command ('/opt/local/bin/nss-certutil -A -i mycert.cer -n "My Cert" -t "C,," -d "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/profile"') runs without error and places three files in there: cert8.db, key3.db, secmod.db
    When i log in as a new user on the system however, they do not have the cert. What am I missing?

    Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

  • Why do I have to keep moving the mouse to keep a youtube video from stopping? I already have Firefox 27.0.1.

    I googled the problem, which seems to have occured in earlier versions of firefox, but I am still having this problem and am in 27.0.1 which seems to be the current version.

    Please ensure that all of your plugins are up-to-date by running the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    If that does not fix the issue, please try disabling both the Flashplayer and Firefox hardware acceleration.<br>

  • Why did FF start to freeze, flash the cursor and refuse to play videos yesterday?

    Basically out of nowhere YouTube stopped loading Videos. At first other Streams would still work but by now I only get a black square, where the clip should appear. Pretty much at the same time, whenever a YouTube tab was open, even without a player in it the "thinking wheel" appeared at the cursor an started flashing (strangely it stops when I mouseover a link) and from time to time the whole browser freezes für about 30 seconds. Everything is fine in Chrome and IE
    I've gone through several forums trying to solve at least one of the issues, but nothing worked. My failed attemps so far were:
    -update all plugins
    -update all players
    -update FF though FF itself refused to do so and I had to download the install.exe with chrome
    -restart FF
    -reset FF
    -delete and reinstall FF
    -restarting the pc
    -clearing the cache
    -clearing the cookies
    -disable hardware acceleration
    -FF safe mode
    -switching off caret browsing
    -enabled HTML5 in YouTube

    Is it possible that some sites may be blocking this the one that is titled: [This plug-in enables downloading of Flash videos]
    There were some login issues that day [http://downdetector.com/status/youtube/news/7830-problems-at-youtube-3] There would have been issues if you were logged in. However it looks like this has cleared up, have you still experienced issues over the weekend?
    If so, try to create a new profile and access the youtube videos while you are not logged into your youtube account. If you have a login cookie at the site, log out and back in again to create a new cookie.

  • Battlelog (for battlefield 3) does not work with Firefox 15.0.1. It works fine with the older Firefox 14.0.1

    The flash features on the Battlefield 3 site - battlelog.battlefield.com do not work when Firefox updates itself to 15.0.1 It does not load the pages correctly or does it let you select/ click on anything in the flash parts. When I uninstalled 15.0.1 and reinstalled Firefox 14.0.1 I unchecked the option to let firefox re-upgrade itself and battlelog works fine.

    I do not wish you to break Firefox on Battelfield 3, but have you tried using the latest version of Flash Player. You should also remember that using outdated versions of Firefox increases security risks to your computer and personal data.
    You may get an answer to this sort of question faster by asking on a forum related to that game site, (and if you do please post back with the solution preferably with a link).
    Possibly you could consider using Firefox 15 and later as the day to day browser, and Firefox 14 only for the problem games.
    *The simplest way to do that may be to install Firefox portable (I assume that will run a Firefox 14 version)
    * A better way would be to install multiple versions of Firefox. That is often considered advanced, but I imagine most experienced computer users could do it easily (I can provide links to instructions). That has the advantage that the problem could be looked at a bit more closely, possibly even filing a bug if it appears to be a Firefox regression causing the problem.
