SO I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM POP UP TOO!! plays 1-3 seconds then quickly does shorter each time.. then snow...
looked frick'n everywhere. only 2 things i found that worked.
1. disable flash in chrome... this worked in the past, but did not fix it this time.
2. this solution you wont even believe!!! plug in a set of headphones... BOOOM!!! it worked for me. i found it on some message board. youtube/flash looks for an audio output. when it doesnt find it the thing just dies...
now the question is how to find a solution to stop forcing youtube to look for audio.
i hope this works for you!!! i didn't believe it until i tried it. i was like no frick'n way!!!

  • Youtube "Stop Download" option

    What happened to the stop download option on youtube videos?
    Will it come back?
    Is there a way to force this function with flash player?
    It would be nice to have this function to control if I want to hear a annoying ad or other video that plays whether I want it too or not.
    I also find it useful to test my custom thumbnails instead of waiting up to 12 hours for Youtube to cache it.
    Thanks

    You'll want to ask this question in the YouTube forums.

  • Why has youtube video downloading stopped working?

    Until a few days ago, I was able to play and download videos from YouTube. Then, for reasons inexplicable and confounding, they have stopped downloading altogether. My software program for downloading is Speedbit's Video Downloader which works just fine elsewhere. So what has caused the problem with YouTube?

    Try Youtube (VEVO) video and audio downloader

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • I accidentally told Firefox to stop downloading pictures to a website. How do I reverse this effect?

    I told Firefox to stop downloading pictures to Facebook and now it doesn't import certain photos. How can I undo this change?

    You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • When ever the Download window opens firefoxes freezes/stops responding. I can't do anything with it. As soon as it opens, no response. I disabled most of my add-ons but still doesn't work. It's only started recently. Maybe a week or so.

  • Firefox stops download of pdf

    Firefox or ? stops the download of the pdf article ~ 1/2 way through the download. The articles change all the time and I used to be able to read them (~month ago).
    Adobe 9 is installed on my system and I don't recall anything that i've changed that would correlate with the time it stopped downloading.
    Can anyone help me with this, TIA
    update: I found an adobe 9 update that is now installed (said it was security type stuff) and attempted the download again. The first time it gave me a; cannot extract font PNNKNF + FranklinGothic Demi. I accepted and proceeded. It loaded only parts of the headers on each page. I then tried to download a second article (an abridged version of the same article) and it succeeded. I went back and tried the main article and it succeeded this time. I remember all this happening before.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Looks like an issue with your connection. Could you please let me know the following:
    1. The OS and the version of Adobe Reader on your system.
    2. The browser being used.
    Just to be sure whether or not its an issue with Reader, can you try and do the following:
    1. Open the page: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html
    2. Right click on the hyperlink "10.0" under the "Vers." column in the "Windows update file information" table.
    3. Click on "Save Link As" or likewise and provide a location to save the PDF.
    Does this work?

  • Firefox 3.6.23 keeps downloading. It has done this for about 2 hours without stopping once I opened Firefox. Is it supposed to take this long from version 3.6.8?

    Part of the testing I am doing requires that I know which version of Firefox I am using. I opened Help on the tool bar and above "About Mozilla Firefox" is "Downloading Firefox 3.6.23 until a few second ago. when I clicked on it . It finished.
    Sheesh!!

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml, if present, if the problem perssists.
    C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I have downloaded the latest firefox but when I download addons it says the browser is still old.

    I have downloaded the latest firefox (3.6). But when I tried to download certain add ons and even when I go to Youtube it tells me that my browser is out of date. When I click 'About', my version of Firefox is 3.6.6 but it also says 'Firefox/2.0.0.9;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0'. Why is that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I installed new firefox.

    Your user-agent indicates that you have/had the MegaUpload Toolbar installed and that can interfere with your system recording the correct version of Firefox.

    You will also need to reset a preference.
    <u>'''Reset general user-agent'''</u>

  • Why won't it download? It goes to run, then run, then run again, then extracts and stops downloading. Why won't it work??????

    Firefox won't download at all. It says extracting then stops. I click save then run then run. Then it says extracting then after that it just stops downloading. WHY?!?!?! Annoying.

    Do you get an error? Disable any antivirus or firewall software running on your computer during the update process if you're unpading using iTunes.
    If you're trying to update over the air, try doing it with your computer instead.

  • Adobe Flash doesn't stop downloading content if told to do so

    Couldn't reply to this: [http://example.com https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=369682&forumId=1#threadId738381], but have the same problem.
    Adobe Flash doesn't stop downloading a once started embedded video if you close the tab/firefox or right click on the embedded flash content and choose Stop Download.
    Only workaround for me so far is to go into my Windows Firewall Advanced Settings and then there opening the Windows Firewall Properties Dialog and '''blocking Outbound Connections in the Private Profile tab''' to stop the flash plugin.

  • Flash player stop to work with Firefox

    Ok it’s just killing me!! Flash player stop to work
    with Firefox
    All my web site users including me have this problem and I
    guess all the millions of mozilla users
    When you press play it’s not working or it’s no
    sound
    What solve the problem is to download oldest Flash-Player
    Please fix it as fast as you can.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the assistance Chris.  I tried the 11.7 option without success.  I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled).  Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results. 
    However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos!  WooHoo. 
    I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
    Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
    Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.

  • "Stop download"-option removed from Flash Player

    Hello,
    i reinstalled my OS just recently and all system components including browser and Flash Player (11.8.800.94) as well, of course.
    Just briefly after the installation i noticed there was no longer an option to "Stop downloading video" as used to be before. At first i was annoyed and i thought it concerned only me, but on the search for solutions i stumbled over this thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/7AMubhSadeY[1-25-false].
    Moreover i experience loading problems with YouTube content which i solely blame on the removal of this feature. While of course i am in no position to demand anything i would appreciate if you'd consider reenabling it in a future release. In the meantime.. could you please make a previous version available for download?
    Pleeease?
    Kind Regards
    Sniperturtle

    I think it was Youtube that removed the 'Stop download' feature.
    Any earlier Flash Player version can be downloaded from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives

  • Ffox31=downloaded Youtube Video Downloader x4=stiil not work?

    I downloaded the add-on: "Youtube Video Downloader" FOUR TIMES but although it is showing on the list of add-ons under options, I have no icon/button or whatever in the toolbar to allow me to use it. I tried anyway thinking that it might be on auto but I was unable to download any U-Tube video.
    What is the deal with this one?
    I noticed that he is asking for 10 dollars, does that mean that until he gets paid there will be no activation?
    I do not mind paying but I want to see if it works first!
    Any help welcome,
    Thank you.

    HI ArletteGH,
    Please check to see if it is compatible with the most recent version of Firefox (32.0.3) as well as please see the support link provided for the addon on the addon's homepage.

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
