Firefox 7 won't play YouTube videos

Running Win7 x 64. Upgrade to Firefox 7, then YouTube videos stopped playing. YouTube keeps insisting that I have to install the latest flash player, what I've done several times ("install_flashplayer10_mssa_aih.exe" and "install_flashplayer11x64_mssa_aih" versions), clear cookies, restart and all that crap. Firefox refuses to play YouTube videos. Internet Explorer 9 (x 64) plays great YouTube videos. Don't use Firefox more. You've got to SUPPORT your application instead of users leaving Wade. It is also why I HATE the upgrade. It causes too often new incompatibilities when I just want to leave what works, the hell alone.

The Adobe forum, someone suggested

   * go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 and
         o download the 64-bit uninstaller
         o download the 64-bit installer
   * close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller
   * restart Windows
   * delete any remaining files in
         o C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
         o C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
   * now run the downloaded installer

It still does not work. Then someone else said to install the ActiveX Installer, I found somewhere online.

THEN finally it worked. But I still don't understand why I have to jump through additional hoops, which are not explained in the first place-YT says I need to upgrade (even if my old machine W2k with FF 3 and Flash 10 works fine), I click on the link on YT taking me to Adobe, I download and install like lead instructions , but it does not work. Why didn't ActiveX installs as well as the installer of Flash if necessary?

  • Why the latest Firefox won't play YouTube videos

    Everything worked fine until the latest version of Firefox, now I can't play YouTube videos. No problem with Chrome or IE. Firefox screwed up something with their latest version. Problem started on 09/03/15.

    1) enter the config by typing about: config in the address bar.
    (2) enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled press ENTER.

  • V27, 27.1, won't play YouTube videos. Even in safe mode

    I can't watch videos on my default browser, the latest Firefox v 27. I think that I am not alone in this.

    I do not have the latest versions of Flash Player, Real Player, and Javascript is enabled (not java)

    I found it first in the videos of my favorite site of cats (cheezeburger..), but I just find that it comes up with videos of Serif community more. Video accessed via FP work, even when the so-called YouTube (clicked)

    Work live YouTube videos, but not the videos of YouTube accessible via cheezburger links.

    These defects occur only in Firefox 27 and videos play OK in Maxthon 3, (Chrome and Opera - the last time I checked). I know that you do not recommend this but can tell you exactly how to reload the previous version of Firefox, V26 - I had no problem with that.

    I tried to run FF27 in safe mode, no effect. I don't want to lose the different add-ins I use, if I don't want to reset to the factory settings.

    I think is not necessary.

    Click with the mouse right button on the Bookmarks box or in the bar (press F10 or alt to see the title bar) title, and then click Customize

    Then drag the address located above the tabs of stripe bar and.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple support, Cosman.

    Your post, Safari will play is no longer videos using Safari on your MacBook Pro on OS X 10.11. It also seems that it is a recent development, so we'll get it working again.

    Install and manage extensions Safari on your Mac - sometimes an extension may be the culprit. Disable the extensions you have installed for Safari, quit Safari and test. If it works again, turn on an extension at the same time, then exit and restart Safari to find what the cause of the problem.

    Update the software on your Mac - Make sure that your Mac is up = to = date with everything.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not start -even if the start up your Mac, safe mode will not fail it starts successfully.

    I hope this helps!

  • Whenever I play youtube videos, they shake from left to right and to go at different speeds.

    I have windows 7. A couple of days, I went to play youtube videos and they all shake from left to right and go at different speeds (very erratic). This ONLY happens with videos from youtube (HTML5). When I play other videos(non-HTML5), they play very well. Also, the sound on youtube videos are fine, only they do not match the mouth (s) of people talking. The mouth move faster. I've checked all my plug-ins and everything is up-to-date.

Can someone help me?

    Thanks Guigs. I followed your instructions and found out it was a 'acceleration hardware problem' that was the origin of the problem. I unchecked the box and YouTube videos play very well! Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • Firefox plays Youtube videos not, please help?

    Simple question, yet nothing I've tried has worked. The video is just a black rectangle on the page. It happens with all the videos on Youtube.

    I had version 12 of Firefox and it has not worked, put at 13, still does not. I do not have real player installed, I downgraded Flash 10 something points, disabled the flash Shockwave and still they won't play! SE ticked off and sick of having to use IE.

    Someone help me please?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    Try to "disable hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

  • Firefox can't play youtube videos (only from youtube, other video sites work well)

    Since about a week ago firefox in my laptop can not read the youtube videos (only from youtube, videos from other sites and flash games work well), both on the site or embedded on another site. This shows only "an error has occurred. "Please try again later".
    I use firefox 13.0.1 and the latest version of the flash plugin.
    My laptop is i5 with win7 64 bit and it has clean, no viruses or malware.

    I tried all the solution posted here, but nothing works.
    I tried to uninstall - reinstall both firefox and flash, disabled add-ons, safemode, downgrade from earlier, flash, uninstall realplayer, changed the dns, reconfigured my modem, my curse what ISP (perhaps connection related?), still unable to play videos from youtube.

    I tried to use different computer, I used my old pc winxp with the old version of firefox (with the same configuration as the firefox I use in my laptop) and my ipad, they can play videos, but playback is stuttering which never happened before.
    Curiously, I've tried chrome (on the same laptop) and it works well, no stutters.
    This problem has something to do with the firefox updates, updates, flash, both, or something else?

    Please help me, I don't want to go back and forth between browsers just to see the video on youtube and I really want to change browser.
    Thank you!

    It's very strange... it will also be a very long shot, but it is possible that due to the long url (& feature = relmfu) it worked. I highly doubt this is the case.

    I recommend not to clear your cookies, either of them or one of them to youtube.

    And you've probably already tried this, but playing the video on the various quality parameters may do something.

    And finally, have you tried to contact youtube/google on this subject, or restart your pc after making sure that all your stuff is up-to-date? (you have probably both)

  • Firefox crashes when I play youtube or flash in the background

    Hello everyone
    Starting last month set by the most recent firefox update I ran into an annoying accidents whenever I play youtube or something using flash for firefox it will crash a few minutes later.
    So I read through the support of mozilla to fix the problem myself and did the following:
    turn off hardware acceleration for firefox and adobe, search of viruses, updated my drivers and even memtest86. All to nothing not done, finally I decided to wait simply the most recent update to fix this bug. So the good news is it fixed the error nvwgf2um.dll but not msmpeg2vdec.dll.

    Here are my five latest bug reports
    BP-1a0705e8-CD44-43A3-9750-755f32151101

    Hmm, I would not have thought the external components of video decoding have been at the heart of the problem. The wire 'blocked' in reports is not 'die' in a video decoding function. The most recent four crashed in "garbage collection" or the functions "cycle collector", dealing with the memory. Personally, I find these difficult to understand error reports.

    As a partial solution, you can use an extension that forces Flash on YouTube, as one of the following values:

    Alternatively you can try to disable the MPEG decoding, but some sites are perhaps not able to "fall back" in a different format or Flash and will just error (for example, Twitter videos):

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference media.directshow.enabled to true to false

    (4) double click on the media.mediasource.mp4.enabled preference from true to false

    (5) double-click the preference media.mediasource.webm.enabled to false to true

    (6) double-click the preference media.windows - media - foundation.enabled from true to false

    The effect of everything that should be blocking MP4/h.264 decoding and place you in the latest format WebM (VP9) YouTube. You can check the result on this page, but that might not show up after leaving Firefox and start it again:

    https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 (the two h.264 should be red)

    It's not so convenient for other video sites, but I'm curious to know if it helps on YouTube or has the same problems.
