29 Firefox on Linux: no Flash (28 works very well)
I am very impressed with the new 29 of Firefox, but I wonder how long until that Flash will work. Everything on the web I see "you want to install the plugin required to view content on this page?" and if I click Yes, it appears a window saying "No plugin found." I still have 28 installed Firefox and it works fine. I thought it was just a matter of time-biding, but as I looked around I'm starting to doubt. Solution?
Run Firefox on Fedora 20 29.
I was able to work around it, but I'm open for the best solutions. Here's what I did:
I uninstalled never 28 built-in Firefox (and 29 did not at rest); If all the files are in the same place, except that I replaced/usr/bin/firefox by the new Firefox (of course, to save the former).
I found the (old) plugins in/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins /.
I copied all the in ~/.mozilla/plugins (which already existed, but was empty).
The plugins include:
- libflashplayer.so
- libgnome-shell-browser - plugin.so
- libnpgoogletalk.so
- libnpo1d.so
- librhythmbox-ITMS-detection - plugin.so
- libtotem-cone - plugin.so
- libtotem-gmp - plugin.so
- libtotem-mully - plugin.so
- libtotem-narrowspace - plugin.so
The problem seems to be fixed now.

I have used Firefox for years, about a week before Christmas, I tried to use the sky go for the 1st time in 6 to 8 weeks and it wouldn't work. It was as if there was no player at all - no buffering, no error message, just a white box where the player is supposed to be. I recently discovered that player BT also does not play. Too just, who acts as if there is no video player here. Used to work properly, and both are still in IE and Chrome.
I have the Ad Block Plus and Flash blocker Add Add-ons installed, but disabled to go to heaven. I deleted and re-installed silverlight suggestion of heaven, and I have the "always active" Silverlight plugin in the plugins tab. The only changes that have been made since when they both work the last and now is updated to version of firefox and change my Internet service provider.
Any help? I really can't stand IE, and I use firefox chrome because it is what I have used and trusted for years.
You can also try putting the plugins 'always ask' in manager addons firefox to get a similar functionality with the flashblock extension.

Just set up a new PC and downloaded Firefox. It will not display correctly my Zenfolio Photo site or it will play music that accompanies the slideshow on the home page. I have 2 other PC and it works very well on them. All are Windows 7 Home Premium.
Yes. He uses Flash to show the images and music. Go to tools-> Add-ons and check the Plugins. Make sure that Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305 is not set to never turn on. I keep me always activate.
If you do not see flash, can get Adobe Flash here: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and the EEG for the Plugin-based browsers.
If flash is installed, then it sounds like something is blocking.

V13 Firefox slow to access the voice mail or google google works very well in internet explore
I just updated firefox to v13 and now its really slow to access the google mail and google voice. I get a message that it is connect to google, but nothing happens. works fine on internet explore. other web sites seem to work end
Hello
I use V14.0.1
I had simliar problems both at home and at work while using Firefox. IE and chrome works very well in these two places.
While I am at home, and not using any proxy, it worked after disbaling spdy i.e. network.http.spdy.enabled set to false.
However, when I'm at work (by browsing through a proxy, Ironport in this case) and it does not work. I noticed that it is not only the keyword google search or google sites, but none of the https / ssl working site. He invites me repeatedly for authentication of the proxy, and even if I type my proxy username and password, it does not work.
I have been with older versions of firefox for a while and have not had this kind of problem before.
Any idea?

12 Firefox does not get beyond the crash report. This is a second account (standard). However, it works very well on a third party, as well as on the main one admin account. I reinstalled Firefox, disc repaired permissions and so on, but nothing helped. For the second account .plist file could be damaged? I can't remove it because of permissions so cannot test this. Please notify.

I get the following error message: gone the requested resource / is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Remove all references to this resource. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument directive to manage demand. IE & Chrome work very well - and the previous version of Firefox (10.0.1) also worked. Looking for a fix or I need to give up Firefox. Thank you.
Found the problem - it's a HT Access file on the site itself. Deleted the file and 10.0.2 works very well.

Java plugin does not not in Firefox 4.0b11, works very well in 3.6.13
Java plugin is not loading in Firefox 4.0b11, but it works very well in 3.6.13 (and in Google Chrome too). It worked in Firefox 4 before, but broken somewhere around beta 5. libnpjp2.so is not really in the plugins folder, but it is a symlink: /libnpjp2.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.12/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so. When running the command line, I see FF tries to load other plugins of symbolic links (most associated with totem) but do not because they are amd64 and FF is built in 32-bit. But none of the messages on libnpjp2.so (which IS 32 bits).
Java 1.6.0.12 is old enough, then you can try to install the latest version of Java 6 U23.

I used google chrome as my default browser, but one day it stopped working, while firefox and IE always worked / work fine now. When google chrome no longer works, all my programs stopped to connect to internet, like Skype, itunes, WMP, etc. The itunes gives error me is "make sure that your network connection is active and try again. When I download programs through to firefox or IE8, now my default, they download but used to install or connect to the internet (I tried to reinstall chrome after that deletion but it will not be completed). I was certain this isn't the router or the Internet itself, my wireless works very well to navigate through the Internet and other computers on the network do not have this problem. problem when I connect to other wifi networks. The help and support center will not be to the point after that I click on it. I use windows xp sp3 home edition 2002. I looked through the other threads to see if I can solve the problem, check the exceptions in the firewall, disabling firewalls and other security, running an antispyware/malware, someone suggested (super antispyware), lowered or disabled security settings, but all without success. I don't know what to do at this point but to restart the system. Please help, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

GasBuddy web site not working properly with firefox, but works very well with Explorer
I noticed when I load the site gasbuddy.comweb, it does not work properly. It does not load, simply do not perform as it should. When I try to use gasbuddy.com to explore 9, it works very well. I already tried to work in safe mode and it does not solve the problem with gasbudy.com. Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I made a discovery, and I'm very careful about deleting my cookies. It seems that when I do the procedure, I'm losing too much info on some web sites - weather.comweatherunderground, etc.. Just do not know how to delete cookies for a problem with the cause of other problems? Thank you.
Could check you your zoom here:
ALT + v (open the menu Classic view) > Zoom > Zoom text only
If I have this on (checked) then the middle column moves to the right and superimposed on the right column. If I have that turned off, then the page zoom correctly.

You tube shows just a black screen, works very well in internet explore.
Haven't upgraded or changed versions of firefox or added any plug=ins Im awarer of. Had several automatic updates come through of other programs, such as flash, ect. But I have refused to upgrade firefox due to having to give up screen grab which I love too much to do it, so have stayed with older version.
Had no problem with you tube in the past.
First, you must immediately update to Firefox 15.0.1. There are major security issues in Firefox solved in 15.0.1 7.
In regards to your add-on, it will probably work in Firefox 15 (addons are now default to compatible). If this isn't the case, you can try to install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab-fix-version/ which is an update on the same module version.
After update, let me know if the youtube problem is still happening.

Everything on my online banking Web site works fine except the display of my beneficiaries. It does not, he tells me that I don't have any beneficiary. This function works very well on my backup computer with 16, 32, and 35 versions.
That's what my Bank said:
There was some problems with the compatibility of Firefox to view online recipients. Please, try the following steps to clear the cache and delete cookies. If there is still a problem, start Firefox in Mode safe. While you are in safe mode, press the < Alt > or < F10 > to display the toolbar. Then select Tools > Options > advanced > general. Find and stop using hardware acceleration.Boot in safe mode to fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain. A refreshment or a reset seems a little drastic and I would like to know what exactly is the problem before using the shotgun approach.
Thank you
Thanks for the replies. I have try to disable hardware acceleration, but probably no connect fees. My only add-on is edge of adblock and I disabled it for the site. The thing is, I don't want to disable either of these elements. I'll just start firefox in safe mode, if I need to access my beneficiaries. I was hoping that someone may know something that is bad in my profile that has carried over from previous versions or another kind of corruption. It seems strange that an entire site could work very well with hardware acceleration, but not to this one point.
