Firefox will not play mp3s I slipped and fell in the browser

I have mp3s on my computer that I want to play in Firefox, but when I drag a window in the browser appears as if I'm trying to download it. I all day (Firefox, Quicktime plugin), and I am running Windows XP SP3. It worked last night and just started happening today. I tried to watch the Quicktime plugin troubleshooting page and configure the plugin to play mp3s in the browser, but they did not work.

  • Firefox will not play many videos, sounds and other Html5 applications but Youtube is fine.

    No matter what are the options I change (I tried everything under subject: config), videos html5 play not (format not supported, etc wrong mime type.). On youtube, html5 player works fine.

    flow using the html5 and formats like gif player also like gifv to imgur.

    My OS can all play, I installed Windows Media Player.

    All my preferences in topic amovible.*: config have a default value, and I tried to change things - without success.

    I also disabled all addons/plugins, tried another profile, tried the developer version of 64-bit. I had the same problem on my old computer (I did a clean install on a totally new computer and imported via MozBackUp settings). Firefox Safe mode will not help either.

    http://detectmybrowser.com/ tells me that I can play ogg but not h264 or webm. https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 told me that my firefox support everything that youtube needs.

    Once again, on Youtube, everything works (right click on the clip not gives me the possibility "about the HTML5 player"), elsewhere (for as far as I saw) I get "not taken in charge or false mime type error format.

    I use Firefox on Windows 10, but also known 40 the problem under Windows 7 and Firefox 3 x

    In addition, my plugin-container crashes whenever I close Firefox, I tried to clear the cache/history/cookies. No idea if this is related to the question of the html5.

    So, any ideas I can try to do html5 video finally work? It is very solutions use another browser every time for anything associated with Html5.

  • Windows Media Player will not play mp3 or mp4, but Windows and YouTube work OK

    When I go to a media file (.mp3 or .mp4) and click on it, I get a message
    Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

    By clicking [help] and follow the signs, I see that my computer has two devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" section, both have the status "this device works correctly.

    I get Windows sounds normally (startup, etc.). Can I play a clip from YouTube and videos that I prepared myself with Camtasia.  However the same video will not play when I click the .mp4 and Windows selects the default Windows Media Player program.

    How can I fix it?

    Thank you, Robert.

    Hi Robert,

    It looks like .mp4 files are not supported by Windows Media Player.

    Reference:

    Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    Video MPEG-4 can be encoded and stored in an .asf file container by using the tools of Windows Media and Windows Media Encoder. You can then read these files with Windows Media Player. For more information about Microsoft and MPEG-4 support, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

     
     

    You can search your favorite engine and download and install the codec that is compatible with the operating system.

    Hi rpwerner,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful.  Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.

    You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

  • Firefox will not play SermonConnect mp3 files that have been uploaded to Amazon S3 server using S3 Organizer after 2014 7. Already downloaded the files OK.

    Files uploaded to the Amazon S3 server are accessible via our Web site at littlecountrychurch.org. All multimedia files downloaded before January 7, 2014, be played properly on our media page. Files uploaded after January 7 refuses to play on the Firefox browser. To add to the confusion, other browsers Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer on Windows and Mac-play these files correctly. In addition, an older version of Firefox on an XP laptop plays files correctly. We even ran a test by downloading a working of the S3 server, re-uploaded the file file and Firefox would not read the freshly downloaded file, but he continued to play the same file previously downloaded without problem.

    The problem is the content-type header sent to S3. The old MP3s are designated "audio/mpeg", which is perfect. Newcomers are designated "application/download", which does not work in Firefox native HTML5 audio player. (The inset on the screenshots is pasted from a screenshot of the Fiddler proxy).

    On a normal web server, all .mp3 files usually served in the same folder have the same content type. Something seems different about Amazon storage, perhaps based on a difference in their environment "backstage."

  • Firefox will not play video WebM encoded by Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8

    A short video encoded in WebM using Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.0.48. Chrome and Opera play HTML5 webm video with a problem. Firefox 10.0.1 and 11 just display a dimmed window and 'X' in the middle and not load or play anything. Sorenson is a commercially proven product such as confirmed by Chrome and Opera, so what gives with Firefox?

    We just finished our stable webm with Episode Pro of Telestream 6.2.1.1, and unsurprisingly, the same results as Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.

    Chrome, Opera and Safari browsers play HTML5 webm video as expected.

    Firefox rigorously applies the State Server .htaccess configuration more precisely the Mime Types, then it will/does not work.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
    See the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems

    If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.
    You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.
    You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • my new version of firefox will not save my user name and passwords - why?

    My version before I updated to 4 saved all my usernames and passwords. Since the update to version 4, it records only a few. I checked that I'm not running in privacy mode and have checked remember passwords and have a master password in the Security section. I have a laptop with Windows Vista.

    Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

    If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

    If a Web site creates the login via JavaScript form then the password manager does not offer to store both passwords (Bug 518516).

  • Firefox will not start even after uninstal and reinstal

    I was using Firefox normally. I shut it off for awhile then I would never open again. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not fix the problem. I deleted the program files and profile records and reinstalled again... same thing. When I run it, the rotation slider works for awhile then goes back to the arrow shape. I have no more details to give.

    Thanks to Cor - el, that put me in the right direction. My problem wasn't with any security system, but with software that has been installed in my computer without my consent. I found it through all the applications in the window settings and programs. The culprit is "Interenet optimizer" (named exactly like this). After uninstalling this guy, my Firefox started without any glitch.
