Why do over 90% of YouTube functions no longer work on Firefox?
For the past week everything I try to do on YouTube with Firefox has been extremely slow, sometimes near that of a dial-up connection. I've tried using all three browsers--IE8, Firefox, and Chrome--and the problem appears to be ONLY with Firefox. In fact, with Firefox over 90% of YouTube features will not work at all, including playback on "My Channel".
All three browsers function perfectly at all other web sites.
My videos are being inundated with SPAM promoting several different illegal download sites, yet when I try to report these as SPAM I repeatedly get a "500 Internal Server Error" with all three browsers. Please keep in mind that these messages are sent to me by YouTube, NOT the spammers. The only browser that will actually allow me to delete the message itself from the video is Chrome...both IE8 and Firefox are totally unresponsive to all options.
When trying to access my channel page (or ANY channel page) on Firefox (and ONLY Firefox), I repeatedly get the message: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " However, playing videos in a separate tab is not a problem with any of the 3 browsers. Accessing my channel page or any other channel page is not a problem with either IE8 or Google Chrome.
I have verified that the latest versions of Flash Player and JavaScript have been installed and are functioning properly, and everything on YouTube operates properly on both IE8 and the lastest version of Google Chrome.
I have updated McAfee and run a deep, full-system scan. I've swept my registry with three different cleaners, and Secunia PSI shows no problems.
This is the second time in the past two months that YouTube has shut out Firefox almost totally.
What is going on?

I even tried the RAM extension trick..MUST be YouTube..

Drop down function no longer works in firefox 19
Firefox 19 installed. have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, have followed the trouble shooting suggestions and have had my IT department try and resolve this issue without success.
If I type in an area that normally auto populates, with for example, my email address. The address flickers whilst I type in the area however I am unable to click or arrow down to grab the data.
When I go onto websites, I am no longer able to click onto a drop down menu, now I have to scroll through.
Very frustrating. Any idea how this can be fixed?*Disable the Hardware accelerator
*if your using themes , make use default theme
*Try in safemode
Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
=============================================================
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.'' -
Scan function no longer working on my Printer
Recently moved locations and had to re set up my PC. Since then the scan function no longer works. I get the error message "Scanner reported an error", "Failed to open a session on the device". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, i have checked the internet connections and all are working. Actually have had a lot of troubles earlier with the rinter and the scanner re wireless connections but hoped to have finally overcome these.
Not part of the problem but a real gripe as to what is the purpose of wireless devices when they never work as well as the ethernet connected devices, someone really needs to get this sorted <gripe over>.
Can anyone help me please to get my system back up and running. I surgent now as currently on paternity leave and need to get some administrative issues doen from home in the next couple of days.
Many thanks,
This question was solved.
View Solution.StevieDoug,
Thank you for trying my recommendations, I believe this is a wireless issue. Let's go ahead and start troubleshooting the network:
I would like you to shut down the Router, Printer and Mac in that order. Wait atleast 60 seconds, then power on the items in the way they were shut down. Re-attempt the scan. Was this successful or are you still getting the error message?
If you are still getting the error message, let's try Pinging the Mac and testing the connection, click on the link below:
How to Ping on Mac OS
If pings are successful the issue is not likely communication, instead it is probably a firewall blocking the scanning communication. Continue below:
To turn on firewall protection:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click Firewall.
2. Open the Firewall pane of Security preferences
3. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.
4. Click Start to turn on Firewall.
To allow only specified applications and services to connect:
1. Click Advanced.
2. Click the Add (+) button, and then select the application or service in the dialog that appears.
Are you able to complete the scan? Please let me know the results!
Thanks again,

Send link function no longer working since update to 7.0.1. Always worked till now...I use Outlook as default mail client, and have not changed any settings since original setup. This is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated.
You can try running the combo updater over your install but you might need to re-install Lion. Both options should not erase your data but if you do the re-install of Lion it's recommended that you backup first as a precaution.
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) 1.91 GB
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
To re-install, boot into the Recovery drive and select to Reinstall OS X.
Hold down Command R when restarting to enter Recovery drive. -
Apple Color Picker Erase Swatch function no longer works.
It was always possible to erase one of the swatches in the ubiquitous Apple Color Picker by dragging a white square over the swatch square you wanted to erase. Now that function doesn't work anymore. Very odd. You can add new colors as always, you just can't erase them. In any application where I use the Color Picker this function no longer works. For example Pixelmator, Rapidweaver, etc.
Any ideas?Sorry, I read too much into it. I guess I couldn't imagine it was just scrolling. I was thinking you were talking about going from page to page with a swipe gesture.
Given that, their software is either broken or something is interfering. Any other programs have a problem with two-finger scrolling? -
My iphone4 vibrate function no longer works
Can someone tell me how to troubleshoot why my vibrate function no longer works. It just stopped working a few days ago. I've not changed any settings. I've tried turnin it off then back on (both the phone and the settings) and nothing seems to work.
sounds like a malfunction of the vibrator motor. Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

Acrobat 9.0 - "attach to email" function no longer works (Win 7, MS Outlook 2010)
Dear All,
All of a sudden, my "attach to email" function no longer works. If I open a PDF in Acrobat 9.0, and I try to "attach to email," nothing happens. This feature has always worked for me in the past. When I check for updates, Acrobat reports that I'm up to date. I recently updated Flash Player 16 and Reader XI (11.0.10).
My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit, and I use MS Outlook 2010.
Thanks so much for your time.Hi rlee711,
You might need to refer this kb file to resolve the issue:
Attach To Email doesn't work | Acrobat 9.4.2
Although, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Outlook 10, I would like you to prefer using only the supported product.
To understand in detail, please refer the link given below:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

Under the Mac Yosemite 10.10.2 O.S. -- the System Preferences: Java pane/ctrl-panel: Update-tab-function no-longer works, after updting to Java 8v40 JRE & SDK -- says that the internet connection is not valid !
A few questions....I assume your network is connected to the Internet? Do you use a proxy? If so, is it set in the browser or in the Java Control Panel?

Places function no longer works on iPhoto.
My Mac has OSX 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2. The Places function no longer works. I can select Places that I used on earlier photos, but it no longer locates new Places on the map. I have read other people's discussions of this problem on the web, but I am not technical and do not understand much of what they say. Any suggestions for a no-technical person would be welcome.
I have this same problem on my new MacBook Pro. The biggest problem is that the embedded Google will NOT find most things that Google Maps finds. For example, the Oberoi Amarvillas in Agra India.
I also can't move the pin for any of the places it already knows. I wonder if this might be related to trackpad settings? I can't find one that looks like it might help.
I can find locations using their map coordinates (for example, 27.168647, 78.049150) and then go back and rename the place to something more helpful. But I can't fine tune the size of the location, which makes it hard to have highly localized places. And it gets the name of the state wrong, which makes it hard to find locations by general location.
This puts a damper on processing photos right away, if I can't record them while I still remember their locations. -
I cannot get my e-mail to automatically enter addresses in the "TO:" box. In the past, I would get a list of e-mail recipients to appear when I typed 1 letter. That function no longer works. Do I need to change a setting or what?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8
Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?
The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised -
