Why does Forefox 17.0.1 not dislplay videos when Firefox16.0.2 does?

I've got Firefox 17.0.1 running on a Solaris 10 SPARC system. (I know, Solaris is not supported, but perhaps someone has seen this problem elsewhere, e.g., with Linux.) Except for the video on the Welcome to Firefox page, videos appear black and will not play--no controls appear. (In one case, the video soundtrack would play, but not the picture.) I'm using Flash 11.2.202.223, the most recent version of FlashPlayer which will run on Solaris 10, and Java 1.7.0_10, the most recent version. The plugins appear normally in the Addons tool. Oddly, if I fall back to Firefox 16.0.2, the same videos play perfectly. The two Firefox versions are configured identically, with the same plugins (not just the same versions--they're linked to the same files). What gives? How can I get the later version of Firefox to behave?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for considering my question. I have used Flash Player 10_3_183... in the past, although it did display some flaws. However, I am now using the most recent version of Flash Player which--according to Adobe--will run on Solaris 10, namely version 11_2r202_223. This works without crashing the browser, a statement not always applicable to earlier or later versions. But the point here is that the earlier version of Firefox, 16.0.2, displays videos correctly, while the later 17.0.1 does not, both versions using the same plugin (literally, the same libflashplayer.so file). Why would the later version of Firefox require an earlier version of Flash Player?
Thanks again for your help.

  • Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

    I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
    When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
    PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

    Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
    The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
       If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
    I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
    1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
    2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
    3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
    4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
    5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
    6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
    The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom).  I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
    I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
    I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
    Thanks, again, Mike

  • Captivate 6 not rendering video when publishing

    Hello, I am very-brand new to captivate - as in, I've been using Captivate for around 36 hours..  I was given this project on Friday and asked to have it finished by Monday.  After about 14 hours of pulling hair I think I've finally got the training finished, but when I hit publish only the slides that do not contain video show up.  The whole thing plays when I preview within the software, but as soon as I export it goes away. 
    I'm running windows 7, my poor laptop is around 5 years old, and I'm using Captivate 6.
    I swear I'm not crying as I type this.

    Hi ,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums,
    Could you please check the exact version of Adobe Captivate (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
    Go to Edit > Preferences > SWF Size and Quality and uncheck both the options which says Advanced project compression and Compress SWF file ,
    Save the project after the changes and republish the project with a new name and save it to the desktop .
    After publishing make sure that you check the output by viewing .htm file not the .swf.
    Thanks

  • Can someone please help me figure out why I keep getting the "can not reach server" when I try to download the ebook? This is happening with Adobe Digital Editions.

    When I try to download the ebook I bough, the Adobe Digital Reader shows the following message: "can not reach server".  Can someone please help me with this?
    TO be precise, it says "licensee server communication problem"
    Thank you

    The thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
    Good luck.

  • Why is my mac secondary screen not showing up when I bootcamp? iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)

    I have installed Windows 8 using Bootcamp. As soon as I did and opened Windows finished the install, made my profile etc...  But then I realized that my secondary screen was black and the power indicated it was turned off. I have looked and searched with no avail i have tried to restart my computer, update both Windows and mac, unplugged my monitor and re-plug it in and have tried switching the channels/settings on the monitor itself. Please help me this really bothers me.

    If it's connected via a Thunderbolt port it won't work in Bootcamp. Last spring I bought a new iMac. I have some earthwork 3D model building software that is Windows only. My Late 2012 MBPr 13" OS X/Win7 worked great with dual monitors using the HDMI port but the big screen/little screen is challenging. After trying most of a weekend to get the iMac to work I finally came across something that said Thunderbolt not supported in BootCamp and the iMac had no HDMI port. Returned the iMac and still using the MBPr.

  • Why do my external hard drives not free space when I delete things?

    I have a Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7. I have a problem where my external hard drives tend not to free up space when I delete items from them. I have been resorting to regularly reformatting my drives for the pen drives, but now it is happening with my large backup drives. It happens for both OS-journaled and FAT-32 formatted disks. Any answers?
    Update: I checked the hidden folders, and they comprise:
    .feventsd
    .Spotlight-V100
    .Trashes
    There are no sizes given for the hidden folders and it says I don't have persmission to see the contents of the trash.
    Cheers,
    Heather

    When you move items to the trash, no space is freed since you're simply moving a file into a different folder (the .Trashes folder). When you empty the trash, the space will be freed. You must empty the trash while the external drive is connected for it to take effect.

  • TS1398 my sons ipad 1 is not loading videos when he goes on to youtube through   his search engine (hes not on safari as he is on a parental restriction search engine) but has been able to for the last 12 months until the other day.

    My son has an ipad 1 and goes on to you tube through his search engine (which is not safari as i have put a parental restriction search engine on there for him) and up until a few days ago was working fine. now when ever he goes into youtube the video selections come up but when he presses a video to watch it doesn't load (comes up with the loading icon). However i wanted to see if this was a youtube problem so I unrestricted his youtube app and tried to get into youtube that way and it worked and the videos loaded. Does anybody know why it wouldn't work through his search engine now after working through it for so long?
    Any help would be great as i dont mind him going on youtube as long as innappropriate content is filtered (which is what his search engine did).
    Thankyou

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Why does one image not appear in an email?

    In an email with 5 images only one of them is replaced by a box with a small icon of a page in the center instead of an image and I cannot figure out why this image is being blocked/not appearing. When I right-click on the image and select "Inspect Element" I get Adblock Plus references that say "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)" and "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)". Is it possible that the image is no longer available from the sender of the email? Thanks for any help you may offer.   

    Sound like the actual image was not in the email, but a link to the image was. When you tried to retrieve the image, the server it di not respond.
