Firefox hangs for a few seconds when you try to suspend videos or skip commercials on Youtube.

Hi all!

My problem is that YouTube freezes for a few seconds when I try to put a video on a break or skip or run advertisements. The video freezes while the sound continues to play until, at the end of say 5 seconds, youtube is finally what I tell it to do.

This does not occur if the video is embedded on another website, nor is it on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly when you use Chrome, IE and Windows 8 Youtube application that I have.

After the first freeze all commands start works great, at least until I've opened a new video.

I noticed that many people are having problems with youtube while using firefox and I have tried a few things:
-uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
-from Firefox in safe mode
-using the different antivirus software
-Reinstall Firefox

I read that this could be a problem with the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.

So, is it possible to get YouTube working properly?

Thank you!

You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

  • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
  • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
  • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Why Adobe Acrobat hangs for a few seconds when first creating text box?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.11.

    Usually, whenever I do the first text box after awhile since I finally used Adobe, it hangs for 5 seconds. Would it be a matter of Adobe or a hardware problem?

    These symptoms result from a combination of the internal architecture of Acrobat and your hardware configuration.

    When the first load of Acrobat when you explicitly call Acrobat or when you double-click a PDF file, only the minimum part of the program which is required to view a PDF file is initially loaded into memory. This excludes the required modules to support the myriad of features that supports Acrobat, including forms, preflight, signatures, editing PDF files, etc. What if all the code needed to be charged at time of initial start Acrobat, that the starting time would be too long! However, this additional code is loaded as needed. It is the reason why you see the delay of the first time you create a text box and not for the following text boxes.

    In addition, when you close your last document, Acrobat isn't immediately shutdown. For example, if you double-click a PDF file for a short time after you think that acrobat is is no longer running, it quickly shows your PDF file and even the creation of the first text box will not only delay you previously registered.

    This brings the question of how can you minimize the delay? There are several factors at work here. The first is the amount of memory real you have on your system. If you have many programs running and not a lot of memory, you end up with a virtual memory with the page fly resultant defects requiring operations on disc for you get the memory required by Acrobat and program memory pages that are stored on the disk. Then of course, the speed of your disks makes a difference both dealing with management as well as the portions remaining Acrobat loading of virtual memory needed for editing functions you call. A disk 5400 RPM is much slower than a 7200 RPM drive, which in turn is very slow compared to a SSD (solid state disk). And if you do not have a SSD and your magnetic disk drive is fragmented, more disk performance suffers. Bottom line is that adequate main memory and a disk capacity and speed higher will help. And if your drive is not an SSD, defragment your drive on a regular basis.

    PS: Protected mode or repair your installation of Acrobat are irrelevant here!

  • CC of Photoshop seems to hang for a few minutes when you import Lightroom CC using the Spot Healing Brush.

    Recently updated Lightroom LR CC and CC updated Photoshop. When I "edit a photo in Photoshop CC", Photoshop seems to crash shortly after the image is loaded. Using the Spot Healing Brush just seems to hang the system for a few moments. Sometimes, I left the window and comes back only to see the large tracts of "to be edited" trails on the image. When they came, I have no idea. After an eternity, these trails are published. I have no idea where Photoshop is going and what is the cause.

    It doesn't look like we'll be much help then, but you use a similar thread in the LR forum?  No, I see that it is the only wire you have anywhere.

    This looks more like a LR problem, so go ask there as well:

  • Windows import video repeatedly stops after a few seconds when you use DV cam to convert and import analog videos

    With the help of a Canon Elura 40 mini DV camera to import my old Video 8 tapes to the .avi format. I followed the instructions from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-analog-video-to-your-computer-by-using-a-DV-camera . However, when I click Start import import will work only for a few seconds and then stops. If I keep restarting after that it stops every time (5 to 10 times), I finally get a message under the controls of cam DV that says "commands does not. Then it will keep the import without problem. I discovered this solution accidentally, but not knowing when it will eventually continue to record does get the departure point. If I import directly using a digital camera 8 this is not the case, but the Video 8 does not play well on the Digital 8.

    I get the error: "year error has occurred, please try again later" when you try to view videos youtube on Firefox.
    I tried to use Google Chrome and everything's good about it.

    Things I've tried:

    • Clearing cookies, history etc.
    • Removal of cookies.sqlite
    • Re-installed a new Firefox
    • Re-installed Flash Player 14
    • Get rid of Flash Player 14 and returned to Flash Player 11

    None of this has worked.

    I get the error for all videos to youtube every time, it is not a random phenomenon.

    I'm really frustrated by it because Firefox is my favorite browser and now I am forced to switch to Chrome.

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.

    I bought new 15 hp Pavilion. I noticed several times when I turn on or turn off my charger, screen off for a few seconds and then after a few second screen turned on. Please help me its furstating me.

  • Firefox hangs for a short second while scrolling.

    Very well. I will do my best to explain this and the steps I tried in vain to resolve the issue.

    Normal use (even without any addons at all) after a short time, 5-10 minutes, sometimes faster my Firefox stutters for a second, my mouse stops during stuttering and then it thaws. Once that starts happening, it happens VERY frequently, like all the other seconds, when I scroll to the top and to the bottom of a page is when it is more sensitive, the mouse cursor stops while firefox is 'frozen' and he returned after a short second.

    I tried many things: I completely deleted firefox to my system, most of the registry entries, all linked files, deleted and I tried a fresh install again. That seemed to help for a second, but after a few minutes of browsing the symptoms return.

    I have concluded that it is not addon for, as I began cool and does not have everything on my last attempt to reboot, that she was having the same problem with or without addons

    I have tried this fix sessionstore.js, increasing the interval, disable it completely, that doesn't seem to help either.

    This does not happen on Chrome, is that firefox does it. It is not even a serious if it's a website, if I scroll to the top and down on the troubleshooting page in firefox it stutters even while scrolling.

    I tried everything I know to do, and I can't fix it myself. Please, if you can help I would appreciate it.

    I solved this problem. The problem was my Ipod is connected to the computer. Whenever the ipod is plugged in, firefox stuttered and offbeat as indicated. I noticed when I got my ipod disconnected for a while to use another usb device, firefox has been resolved, I thought it was the update of this week to be fixed. Couple of days later, I plugged my Ipod in, the problem returned. But, since I started to load my ipod Besides, the problem disappeared. Thus, someone at - it still have this problem, check to see if you have an ipod, an iphone or another usb storage device is connected.
