Why is FireFox disabling all video downloaders?

I cannot get ANY video down-loader to work in Firefox now for several months. Every time I tell a particular VDL to load in the status bar or up top on the Nav bar or in the tools it won't load there and I cannot get any videos to DL!

That's just not he case with me. The videos are on the main page where I try and DL them from. The main problem is that firefox is refusing to show the icon for any DLer that I install. It will not let any of them show up. I have tried 6 DLs just tonight. My favorite being Ant Video Down Loader. They just won't work.

  • Why on firefox browser on videos i cant hear sound it just playing and just gone.

    Why on firefox browser on videos i cant hear sound it just playing and just gone. The sound dissapearing on all videos. Please help me i tried some solutions but it not fixed. Thank you.

    Did you check the volume setting in that Flash Player?
    Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.
    *Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings
    **Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site
    **Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data
    Flash Website Storage Settings panel:
    *http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
    Global Storage Settings Panel:
    *http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • Why does Firefox disable some Japanese character sets?

    Firefox 3.5.5 on Mac. Started yesterday at a point. My Japanese character selection (Kotoeri) disables all but Romaji. The only way to get others (like Hiragana and Katakana) back is to restart Firefox. It seems visiting certain web sites may trigger it, but don't know exactly. Why is this happening?
    It started from one of these and their links:
    http://www.yamatoamerica.com/
    http://www.ocsworld.com/
    http://www.dhl.com/
    I tried to recreate the situation, but couldn't. I will report back if I find one that triggers.

    You can check for issues caused by plugins (plugins are not affected by Safe mode).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins
    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Why is Firefox lagging all the time now?

    I recently tried upgrading to the new Firefox 9.0.1. I hated the look nothing was where it needed to be. So I uninstalled it within 5 minutes and reinstalled the previous version, 3.6.25. And since then almost every site freezes and takes forever to load. I have no problems with IE it works fine. I did a fresh install as well. And as I was just looking into posting this FF crashed.. When I go to task manager to end the process is is almost ALWAYS using 700mb of memory. And that FF plug-in container was always freezing, so I forget what I did but I reintegrated it back into FF.
    I have been using FF for years, and I swear by it and NO script. But this is starting to make we want to find another browser.
    And if 3.6 is let to rot and no security updates are done I will quit using it.
    Also why is there a huge difference in numbers between the current and last version of firefox? 3.6.25 - 9.0.1??

    Dude in which WORLD are you living ??

  • Firefox crashes for 10 seconds when trying to download files, deleting downloads.sqlite, reinstalling firefox, disable all add-ons doesn't solve this problem. Help!

    I am having this problem for weeks now.
    What I tried:
    - Defragmentation
    - Reinstall Firefox on a different location
    - Change download location
    - Start Firefox in safe mode and try download
    - Disable all add-ons and plug-ins
    - Complete malware/spyware scan
    - Complete virus scan
    - Delete downloads.sqlite in the profile folder
    - Uninstall firefox and delete the entire mozilla folder in Roaming location
    - Disabling antivirus
    Nothing helps! I'm only having this problem in Firefox. Downloading with Chrome for example doesn't give any problems.
    How can I resolve this problem? I'm really desperate.
    Thank you in advance!
    Yanco

    Thanks for your input but I already said that I deleted downloads.sqlite.

  • Why has firefox disabled my roboform version 6 when it is compatible with firefox version 3?

    You and Roboform advertise that firefox 3 and roboform 6 are compatible but yet you've disabled my access to roboform citing stability and security issues.
    I want a fix now.

  • Why does Firefox disable the Uninstall button on incompatible and disabled extensions (which should be removed)?

    I guess I'm just OCD because I don't want to see a bunch of incompatible and disabled extensions on my list but I can't be the only person who would like to remove them. It seems the obvious choice ... but it is unavailable. Why?

    Please don't dodge the question. People have normal adds-ons and extentions that when become incomparable are greyed out and there is no way to uninstall it. Mine is Java at this time. Mine is an extension. I haven't had this enabled since 7 came out apparently I don't need it. So I would like to save space and take the darn thing off the computer. But I can't find a way. Can you please help me? thanks

  • Why does Firefox disable a Roboform extension each time it opens making me enable it each time

    I am using the latest versions of Firefox (22) and Roboform ( 7.9.0) with the Firefox extension.
    I have used both programs successfully together for many years.
    The problem MAY have been evident in just the previous versions of either or both programs.
    No other extensions are adversely affected.
    I am using Windows 7 with all updates.

    What does the State line of this plugin say on the about:plugins page?
    You can open about: pages via the location bar just like you open web pages.
    Make sure that you have installed the latest version.
    Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder and maybe addons.sqlite as well to reset the plugin registry databases.

  • Again, why is Firefox(in all my systems) the only app that "invites", and returns amazon pings?

    I use mostly Linux systems, and I can go online with other apps, but when I start using Firefox, my PCs start getting , and returning amazon pings? I hate amazon. I've installed Block Site, but it persist. Some of the Linux firewalls stop it, but some don't. WHY is there no way to block it at the browser??

    How do you know that pings are happening? Is there any visible evidence of them? According to my about:config information, I have blocked 85 pings. I was not aware of any attempt at sending any.
    I have these settings in my about:config window:
    * browser.send_pings = false
    * browser.send_pings.max_per_link = 1
    * browser.send_pings.require_same_host = true
    Not sure if those will help or not, however.

  • Why is Firefox saving all files in "firefox document" format?

    When I try to download a file by 'save target as' the only option I get is to save the file in Firefox Document format ( url.htm ). Why is that happening?!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why will Firefox NOT play videos, yet IE will??

    If I can't find help here for Firefox, where can I?

    When you load a web page with a clip / video / audio, what happens?
    Does the page load? Is the area for the player created? Does anything
    happen in the player? Is this one site or everywhere?
    PS, you have the latest Shockwave player.
    With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer
    enabled until you enable it.
    Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
    Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
    On the left side of the page, select '''Plugins.'''
    Go thru the list and set each to '''Ask To Activate'''
    BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

  • I opened a wed site video for the 1st time and firefox asked me if i wanted to use firefox or video played. I selected firefox and all videos are down loading i

    It takes me into a download instead of playing

    Firefox does not have a built in video player unless you have Flash installed. So it will download the video to play with an app on the mobile device. Please try the video player on your device to watch the video.

  • Why are buttons disabled all over MyVerizon?

    This has been ongoing for years, but sick enough of it to join the forums.
    For example, if I want to add Caller ID Blocking to my phone, I go to the Change Features for my device, and click 'Add' for that feature, then scroll down to click 'Next'...
    Well, the 'Next' button doesn't do anything. Tried it with caches cleared, two browsers (FF and Chrome), both browser and machine restart, and the mobile version on my GS4 -- NONE of them work, and on mobile, it doesn't even exist to toggle on Caller ID Blocking. This problem exists ALL OVER the website, these unannounced, random deletes of functionality.
    I've not been a fan of VZW's website for several years now, through living in three states -- it's hair-rippingly buggy. Now that I don't have unlimited data anymore (though a loyal customer since early 2000s), I hope this crap can at least be resolved. Feeling pretty jumpy right now.

    For Years?  Are you on an account of someone else?
