Youtube freezes firefox

Hey everyone,
I am using version 3.10.3-1 of the kernel, version 22.0 of firefox and installed the flashplugin package. Everything seemed to be working great first, but now I have this bug:
Sometimes (I cannot pin down what exactly makes this start) when I go to a youtube video, firefox freezes and I have to kill the process. This is what it says in dmesg:

I am not sure how to proceed from that, I've never had to deal with a kernel oops. Noteworthy is that I just tried watching a video on a different site and it worked perfectly.
Usually a reboot gets rid of the problem and I can watch youtube again, but it eventually happens again.

Update your system and try again.

Youtube freezes or hangs firefox but works great in Internet Explorer

Every time pull up youtube in Firefox it immediately freezes or hangs the entire browser. the only thing I can do is close down Firefox via the task manager. This happens every single time. It used to work fine. I've even disable accelerate video. Nothing seems to work. The only time it kind of works is when I uninstall and reinstall firefox and/or flash player. Then the very first time I pull up youtube it will work great but when I close down the browser then reopen it and go to youtube, I have the same exact problem as before.
Firefox will pull up youtube with no problem when I uninstall the flashplayer (of course can't see videos then) but once it's installed youtube freezes.
Also Internet Explorer pulls up youtube videos great, just like Firefox used to do. Don't know what's wrong or what's happened but youtube immediately freezes or hangs Firefox when flashplayer is installed in firefox

Hey guys I think we've got a fix for this one. As most often the case the glitch is not with FF but with some plugin or incompatible piece of SW.
Troubleshoot: Uninstall FF, uninstall flashplayer, uninstall all brower toolbars add ons etc. (use Adobe Flash uninstaller if necessary (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller)
Then reinstall most recent version of FF and then most recent of Flashplayer.
DO NOT add, enable, attach anything else at all. Just Bare FF and Only most recent flash player.
If you had Zone Alarm toolbar add on earlier and have uninstalled and not reinstalled it, FF is likely to pullup youtube videos with no problem.
Zone Alarm toolbar is incompatible with FF when flashplayer installed and pulling up a youtube page.
It's likely other toolbars may also be incompatible so just install the naked browser and then the Flashplayer. If it works you can begin reinstalling addons etc one by one.

Flash stops working and freezes firefox. I have Fast dial and dont want to lose it so what can I do to fix this?

It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying
Best regards

Firefox 25 on Windows 7: Flash 11.9.900.117 freezes Firefox

I have done the troubleshooting suggested by Mozilla https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding
Firefox works fine but as soon as any Flash content is started Firefox locks up and I have to close the process in Windows Task Manager.
I can't go into Flash settings and disable hardware acceleration because Flash freezes Firefox completely before that.

Could you try disabling hardware acceleration via your system's mms.cfg file?
This will be located in your C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash folder (assuming that you are using a 64 bit version of Windows). Simply open up the mms.cfg file with a text editor and add the following line:
DisableHardwareAcceleration=1
Save the file and try again.
If that fails, I'd recommend reverting back to Flash Player 11.7 until this can be resolved.
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11.7 for Windows or Macintosh?

Had to disabled add ons but it seems to have caused YouTube to insist I upgrade Adobe Flash Player. Did so several times, rebooted and reinstalled Foxfire but still can't play any videos on YouTube with Firefox. Chrome works fine. Please fix.

Youtube on Firefox won't recognize Adobe Flash Player.

What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

Pdf freezing firefox

I am creating a website for our School PTA. I have added a link on the menu under About PTO called by-laws (PDF) which I originally linked to the bylaws file after testing the link and Firefox freezing I put in the url of http://www.kahrepto.com/Kahre_PTO_Bylaws.pdf. This link still freezes firefox. IT DOES NOT FREEZE when I test it in IE or IE through AOL.
All other PDF from other sites open fine (in a separate file this is how I have acrobat set up)

I have no problem with that PDF file being opened by Acrobat Reader 9.4.0 and then causing Firefox to freeze. See if updating your Reader 9.3.4 version helps matters.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I can NOT watch youtube in Firefox, WHY??

Opening a video from Youtube in firefox does not work. It works fine in Internet Explorer.

You have the Flash plugin installed according to your More system details list, so [[Flash]] should be working.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

USB Camera/Flash Player freezes Firefox & IE

Hi everyone,
When I am prompted by Flash Player in Mozilla 3.6.2 and Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385IC to "allow" my camera, I click "allow". Immediately, my browsers freeze, Firefox crashes and Internet Explorer gives me a FlashPlayer10.ocx error.
I have tried re-installing EVERYTHING, it been going on for so long. At one point, Flash Player worked, but now its just ridiculous.
HELP ME!!
Sincerely,
Soccer

Hi, thanks for the info. It appears that the FF Flash files are correct and if the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in is enabled, then
you should be able to use FF and Flash Player should be working properly.
However the Flash Files for IE and the SWO(Shockwave Flash Object) are old and you'll need to do a complete Uninstall
and Install using IE. Keep in mind though that the Adobe Uninstaller will remove Flash Player from ALL browsers. It is just like starting over.
The difficult thing is making sure we have a clean Uninstall with the IE files.
What Anti-Virus/Spyware program do you use and version # if you have it. Also does it have a Firewall? If not do you use
a Firewall other than Windows Firewall?
Are you the Administrator?
You can download the Uninstaller to your Desktop, don't run it until I give you the instructions.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
This is the Internet Explorer Installer that you will also SAVE to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.ex e
This is the Firefox Installer that you will SAVE to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Desktop for now, until we get ready to use them.

Why do games on facebook freeze & firefox becomes un responsive

when i play on games on facebook they load up ok ,but after about 2mins they freeze & firefox becomes unresponsive.then i have to wait ages,then is says firefox not responding plzz help becoming annoying :(

This can be caused by many things, the most obvious items are a HD that is too full. OS X really needs 10-15% of the total HD space available. You can check that information by opening a Finder window, then highlight the HD and click Command I (I as in Ivan.)
Another popular thing is you may not have much Free RAM, you can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and click the System Memory tab, look to see how much FREE RAM the system has. Also look and see if there are any applications using a large percentage of the CPU, look in the %CPU column and you can see.
In addition you can also just restart the computer or restart in Safe Mode which will clear some caches, it's possible one may have become corrupted.
Finally you can read the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article, this will help you locate exactly what is the cause of your SBBOD.

How to download a video in youtube with firefox 4.0?

before this, i use firefox version 3.x.x and i use inbox.com to download a video from youtube, but when i upgrade firefox to 4.0 the download button is gone... how to download a video from youtube with firefox 4.0

Did you check the home page setting?
*Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When I open FirefoxI get a dropdown small sync window that is blank and freezes firefox.

Firefox opens ok, but rapidly has a drop down, small, top-centered window that says "Sync", but quickly goes blank and shortens right at the top of the wind. When this happens, it freezes Firefox and the only way out is to quit Firefox. I just upgraded Firefox to the latest version on a Mac OS 10.9.3 from an older version.

Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
