firefox vs flash files (especially youtube)

10-02-2008, 08:44 PM

Does this happen to anyone else? How do you fix it?

When I start up and open FireFox, I can usually play videos without a problem. But every once in a while, the player freezes just a few seconds into a video. I can move the slider, and it'll play for another second and then freeze. Then no matter which flash embedded videos I try they always freeze. And they never play audio after that as well. Even though the video will play for a second or less, there is no audio.

This ever happen to anyone else on FF?

Only fix I have found for this is upgrading to Flash Player 10 beta, but even that on some machines it hasn't worked. I did manage to get this to work on FF for both OSX and Vista.

Spend you some brain.

I've been having problems with this on and off for a while now. I've searched countless forums and as far as I can tell, there is no certain fix yet after many months of problems. You can try upgrading or downgrading your Flash, but for most people, the problem eventually returns. I'm not certain, but everything I've read suggests it's a problem on the Flash Player end and not something the FF people can fix from their end.

gone. long gone.

yup, happens to me all the time, and likes others said, it usually happens when I start having a lot of tabs open, or when I go to a certain blog site that has a lot of embedded flash videos ready to click.

restarting firefox of course makes it go away...temporarily, but it's such an annoyance to do that

I've searched before and couldnt find any fix for this, hopefully they fix it soon though, I hate having to open IE just to watch a damn youtube video

When I complained about coding a flv player to always work in FF seemed like

Increase the cache size in FF to something like 250 MB (or even larger if often playing very long flash videos). If the cache is already at least that large, then clear the cache, restart FF, and retry.

i think it's a problem with flash plugin which is being used by chrome, ff and some other browsers, ie on another hand uses flash active-x component. other than restarting browser there's no fix yet :-/

I know, right!! It's like I just catch myself wanting to see some guy get kicked in the nuts, or some hick riding and crashing in some crazy motorized invention. I never use it to learn anything. (except how to avoid getting kicked in the nuts, or that helmets are really only used to protect your face in the event of an open casket funeral)
