You Tube Player Size Too Big in Firefox by default

I recently experienced that the You Tube player automatically became large.
The standard size for YouTube videos seems to have changed from their old standard into the size that used to be halfway between normal and fullscreen.
That is WAY too big, and it's actually disgusting to look at with 360p and below videos. The vast majority of videos look like crap when they're stretched out.
There is a new button, "centered player," where the old "large player" button used to be. Clicking on it will center my enormous window, then that button displays "default player," which brings me back to this large, uncentered player.
This is happening with Firefox, with IE working fine.
Although I am technically incompetent I tried a few suggestions:
Remove all cookies
Hit Ctrl+Shift+K and insert the code below in console:
document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();
However, I am getting the following messages:
Use of getAttributeNodeNS() is deprecated. Use getAttributeNS() instead. util-service.jsm:590
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
And it is not working, back to same Large Player….
Hopefully Mozilla can do something to fix this.
Thanks!

You said that you removed the cookies. Now

  • Why does the vidio on you tube jump and skip now with firefox 4. I did not have this problem before.

    The video, not the sound, skips and jumps on you tube. Before I upgraded to firefox 4, the video flowed smoothly. Why. Fix this now!!!!!

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big.

    Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big. There is no option to change it. Bug?

    But no matter what, there has been some sort of UI font size override introduced in CC2014 that is making the Adobeverse buzz with dissatisfaction. Just out of curiosity, I just checked, and ALL instances of Photoshop are now unable to modify UI font size.... Below is CC2014, which we know about:
    And here is CC2013 and CS5.1 exhibiting the SAME behavior:
    It's quite clear that ALL copies of Photoshop are now locked into the same "tiny" font setting, regardless of in-app settings.
    This is NOT related to Windows display settings (nor SHOULD it be), I can share additional screenshots later to show that, but my boss is getting upset that I have already had to waste this much time doing beta testing that HE is paying for.

  • How do you change the size of display in Firefox, I get Hotmail too small and Flikr too big

    I get the font size too small on Hotmail when viewing through Firefox. The screen size and font size is too big when viewing Flickr through Firefox. I am sure it is a simple question of adjusting zoom and I have seen it change while I am online. I just can't work out what I did to change it.

  • Flash Player 11 and You Tube screen size problems

    When on "You Tube" flash player gives the choice of the use of thre sizes of screens to view the vedios. With the older version of Flash player I was able to use all three od the different size to view. Now That I have Version 11 Flash player the small screen view is good, but If I take it to the medium size the screen stays the same size as the small screen but moves to the center of the screen. The full screen selection gos to black and the sound goes in and out at a fast pace. Is there any way that I can fix this problem? I have tried to reload version 11 of Flash Player,but the problem stays the same.

  • Saving animated gif error - canvas size too big?

    Hi,
    i have been asked to create an animated gif which has a snow effect in the background. The animation runs pretty well using the pattern style to move the animated snow down. The problem is when I try to export the animation the save for web dialogue window freezes and I can't quit photoshop. I have tried to make the canvas (image size) smaller and it works.
    Is there a memory problem with creating animations in Photoshop if the document size is too big, im running a 3000x1000px at 72dpi
    TThe animation would be used on a web app, which a script could probably do a better job, but I need to try this first.
    thanks

    Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
    First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
    So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
    How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
    Is this getting you going in the right direction?
    I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

  • Safari Font Size Too BIG

    My daughter was on my computer and somehow changed the font size in safari and it is too big.  I've tried the command/shift/- and   and that is not changing the appearance (font is still too big).  Any other suggestions?  All webpages are affected.

    Figured it out (thanks prior poster)
    Go to Safari Preferences > Advanced.
    Then adjust the size of type to display as you like it.
    This one is set to 10, but you can up to 24 if you need to.
    Hope this helps.

  • You Tube videos won't play using FireFox 12

    Fire Fox will not play YouTube videos. When I go to the site, I see just a black box with no error messages. The video never loads. I have uninstalled flash player and re-installed with no success in playing you tube videos. IE will play you tube videos! I have disabled all anti-virus, firewall, plugins, etc and FireFox still will NOT play YouTube videos. Please help!

    This still did not work. I have noticed that FireFox will not play any video on any website. I am able to play all video using IE browser.

  • Everything is too big on Firefox

    When I downloaded Firefox's last update Firefox 22, Last night everything is now so zoomed in and big on this Firefox. Even the buttons seem bigger. I wanted to know how can I reset everything so it will look like the previous update of Firefox ?
    Everyweb page I go to I have to zoom out twice just to get it back to its normal size now.
    Is there also away to just change the webpage zoom and leave the buttons there current size. My brother likes how big the buttons on firefox it self is but not how far it's zoomed in on web pages.

    I really hate this zoom issue and we should stop telling people to go into about:config and play around with the settings of this '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
    '''This answer is only for Zibarro:
    <br><sub>(or people who put too big or too small of a number for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx)</sub>'''
    Zibarro, try this. Make sure Firefox is closed, click the Windows Start button, copy and paste this into the search box: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Now, open the folder with the name *random letters & numbers*'''.default'''
    Screenshot:
    <br><img src=http://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/gallery/images/ab167bec686b081a25849c98d6bf9ea7-1258940859-69-1.png>
    Choose the one with '''.default''' at the end. Once inside that folder. Look for '''prefs.js'''. Now open Notepad. Move the windows so they are side by side. Drag the '''prefs.js''' file into the Notepad window. Find the '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' setting, change the '''11.0''' to '''1.0''' or '''-1.0'''. Save the file using File > Save in Notepad and close Notepad. Open Firefox and see if the problem is fixed.

  • You Tube videos won't run in Firefox, will in Safari!

    I can no longer get videos to run in You Tube.  I'm running the latest Firefox and Lion.  All I see are black shapes.  The videos do run in Safari, however.  Fix?  Workaround?  Thanks.

    Didn't help.  But thanks.  Would completely deleting Flash and then reinstalling work?

  • Get you tube to play videos in 1080p HD by default

    Does anyone know how to set a you tube default so all videos playback in full 1080p HD. It's so frustrating and a little ridiculous if it's based on internet connection so you tube chooses etc; as it chooses my videos to play back in 480p, but if i manually change to 1080p it plays back fine in better quality without any lagging or buffer stops - so i just don't get it. What's the point in uploading anything in HD? Please help.

    You find different recipies on the net, adding all sorts of 'suffixes' (suffices?) to an existing yt-URL, example
    https://youtu.be/2zfqw8nhUwAQVQ=HD1080
    … the last part VQ=HD1080 should 'force' a fullHD playback.
    And it doesn't
    What Phil said:
    YT checks the connection and offers the 'best' quality based upon that.
    You would be surprised, how many folks don't know, what this tiny button in the YTplayer means.....

  • Files sizes too big when I burn CDs

    I am fairly new to itunes and the imac. It seems that file sizes are pretty big when I burn a CD to itunes and are going to take up my ipod nano quickly. For instance, a 10 song CD took up 423 MB. The import settings I have use the AAC Encoder option and the quality is 128 kbps. Should I be using different settings to get the copied song size down? If so, what do you recommend?
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Please double check your import settings as the avg 4 minute song imported in AAC @ 128 should yield an approximate file size of 4mb, for a 10 song disc, 40mb. A total file size of 423mb really sounds like an uncompressed format such a Lossless, or AIFF. Also, verify the format/bitrate by ctrl-click on any song in iTunes, the "get info" . The summary tab at this point will give you the format/bitrate used to import the song. I just imported a 3 disc set tonight by "Genesis" in AAC @ 256kbps, the 40 songs on this set using the above settings only gave a total file size of 438mb.

  • Exported AVI size TOO BIG

    I've exported a 35 min. premiere elements 4 project into an DV AVI file that says it's 7.17G in size. When I try to transfer it to my 500 G. external hard drive it says it's too large. Please help me find out why it's too large. I have 417 G open on my external drive.

    Barbie,
    Basically, DV-AVI is going to be about 13GB per hour. There's nothing you can do about that. So if you're exporting a 35 minute video, it's going to be about 7GB.
    If want smaller files, there are several things you could do:
    * Export portions of the video at a time, e.g. (7) 5-min videos instead of (1) 35-min video
    * Save to compressed file format (WMV, MOV)
    * Archive the project (which creates a separate AVI for each clip)
    I think it might help us if you could expand on what it is you're trying to do with the AVI output.
    Usually when you're done with a project, you'll create a DVD or a compressed format to be viewed on YouTube or your computer, so explaining why you're exporting such a large DV-AVI might help us brainstorm some ideas for you.
    Regards,
    Ed
