Why does watching YouTube videos in Firefox cause my video driver to crash, but I can watch the same video in IE8 without a problem?
For the past few days, I suddenly can't watch any YouTube videos in Firefox without having the video driver crash every few seconds. The screen freezes too, and I have a hard time getting my cursor to the "X" to close the tab. One time it was so bad my computer crashed and rebooted.
I am able to watch the same videos in Internet Explorer 8 without any problems. I am also able, as far as I know, to watch videos in Firefox on other sites like CNN.com without any problems.
My computer information below looks correct. It's a Gateway Model#MX6453, my video driver is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.
I fixed this by disabling hardware acceleration. YouTube videos seem to work fine now.
This link was provided in an other YouTube problem: Flash "Display settings" window:
[http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html]
I had to go to a site other than YouTube that had flash content (like a video on CNN.com), right-clicked on the flash video, selected "Settings" on the menu, then unchecked "Enable hardware acceleration" on the display tab. For good measure I closed Firefox and opened it again. Since then no more driver errors. (crosses fingers)

When I click on some links in an email (and Firefox is the default browser) I get the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.
If, however, I click the same links (and Internet Explorer is the default browser) I do not get any error and the proper content of the link is displayed.
What is causing this error? As I prefer Firefox, how can this problem be fixed?
OS Windows 7, Service Pack 1
Firefox Version 32.0.1
Internet Explorer Version 11.0.9600.17280
Thank you for your assistance.
PrimeWhen you look at the address in the address bar, does it seem to match up with the email?
Sounds like Firefox sent the server something it wasn't expecting. Sometimes this can be caused by obsolete or corrupted cookies -- assuming you have visited the site before. It also might be caused by modifications to standard information sent to servers such as the "user agent" string that specifies your browser version and OS.
To clear a site's cookies, while viewing a page on the site, either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
Why does my iphone 4 ios 6 not connect to itunes store or allow Passbook to do the same?

Same here........ I'm using my iPhone, iPad and MacBook pro and I "cannot connect to iTunes"............my Internet connection is great......... The apple store might be doing some update!

Can anyone find a way to fix this? If not, then I'll have to send my MacBook Pro to the nearest Apple Store.
Which os do you have installed?
YouTube videos are not streams. -
Until the most recent versions of Firefox (let's say FF 10 or 11), when the software crashed I had the option to resume the last session when reopening it. I could do this even when I made it clear all my personal data when closing it in normal ways (i.e., when I quit the program without crashing, Firefox would not keep any personal information).
Now, however, Firefox will only restore the previous session after crashing if I don't make it clear personal data after normal quitting.
How can I fix this? I want it to restore previous session only after crashing, not after a normal exit.Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Did you disable to remember form data if you do not want Firefox to remember it?<br />
Be aware that you still have to remove already saved form data in that case via Clear Recent History.

Hello. The Youtube videos I placed in a site made in Muse, don't have sound and don't auto play in my Android phone. Can anyone tell me why? The same video has no problems when I watch it at the youtube site on my phone. It has sound on an iphone, but doesn't auto play either. Thanks!
Hi Mariana,
Please make sure you have the autoplay checkbox selected from the fly-out options:

When I watch YouTube videos on my iPhone 5 it sometimes suddenly drops in quality so much the whole video goes blurry and it's almost impossible to watch anything?? Help also I think it might have to do with my wifi but I'm not sure. Sometimes I also try to skip to sections of a vid and it just lags for ages and nothing happens.

Good for you! I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it works.
Enjoy your Pismo.

I am not able to play any youtube video on Firefox, while the same video plays on IE and Chrome.
FireFox was playing youtube videos with no issues until yesterday. Suddenly none of the youtube videos are paying on FireFox. The error message is "An error has occurred. Please try again later"
I tried the following
1. Uninstall and Reinstall Firefox
2. Uninstall and Reinstall Flash
3. Restart my laptop
No luck with anything. The same videos play fine on IE and Chrome.Hi mje397,
Sorry for the delay. I have been investigating this and it may have to do with saved preferences on the computer. If you right click and select "Global Settings" remove stored preferences. I could not find any outage notifications for Youtube.
Also disable Flash and try the HTML5 player just in case this is a plug in issue. This can happen specifically when there are network issues or there are changes being made to the videos on the hosted site.
Please post back with your results, it could help other users! -
Does anyone know why video image in events section has a certain dimension and instead when I import same video in a clip, the size of video image is minor? Thanks for help
This may depend on your chosen encoding options for the Mails (MIME vs. Base64 or similar) and/or the mails being reduced in size and sliced up server side. Apple (and Google) do stuff like recompressing images when viewing mails on mobile devices from an Apple ID or Gmail account... You have to turn it off in their web frontends....

Other details? Umm, I'm using a Mac. Never had problems before version 4.0. It happens on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, GomTV, among other video sites. I loaded the same videos in Safari and they play fine.
Please try to re-install your firefox browser or maybe you must get the latest version of mozilla firefox browser, here >> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new]
And you can try to re-install your Adobe Flash Player too and get the latest version here >> [http://example.com http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/] -
why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.
Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps! -
Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen display solid blue color. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Opening programs, nor hitting any shortkey makes the display work again, so I have to shut down.
I am using Macbook pro, OS 10.6.8, 4 GB memory, 2 ghz intel processors i7. This has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. Seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes happens after using Netflix streaming video, sometimes after browsing sites that don't play video. I frequently use Pandora, but have Firefox set to dump cache, memory, etc. after each use.Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage. If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash. -
