Firefox will not stop playing music to youtube

Firefox 38.0.5 OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Played music on youtube. YouTube to stop smoking, stop. Come back 2 hours later to start Firefox still play music.
It was yesterday. Since then, I have disabled all the extension and plug-in power off the laptop completely and signed my youtube account. Open Firefox - still play music.

I'm about to completely uninstall Firefox, but I'm open to suggestions first.

Thank you

The issue is actually with Shockwave Flash Player. Sometimes the Flash Player remains running even after Firefox was closed. I'll try to uninstall flash player.

YouTube should work in HTML5 mode without flash player. I suggest to try on the web without flash player and then only install flash player if it seems that you really need. These days most sites work just fine without flash.

  • Will not stop playing music

    I got a phone call and when I hung up, he started to play music.  It is not my downloaded music, I have not heard of it before.  Its been playing the same song for about an hour now. I've tried everything!  Someone has an idea?

    Random sounds.  Remove the battery and put it again.  Probably will never happen.  If so, we can help out.

  • Media Player will not stop playing when the close button is hit.

    My media player works fine until I try to close. When I watch a video clip, I make sure that I have 'stop' the clip before I "close" (the little red button with an X in it, which is suppose to close the program) the player or clip will continue to play in the background. If I brings up the Task Manager, it will display no programs running, I can still here the clip and I'm going to start > all programs > media player always plays the same clip. It is not suppose to do this right? If it is then how can I change so it 'close' media player?

    Hi major347,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    This one seems to be really weird when you began experiencing this problem?

    You have a connected PDA that uses the media player? Sometimes Windows Mobile Device Center has been continuously the reactivation of WMP.

    Another possible issue of the keyboard that you use may control the media player. There are known of the problem with the Logitech keyboard software. Try this if you have a Logitech software update.

    Try to open the Task Manager is trying to kill the wmpsideshowgadget.exe process and check if it shutsdown.

    If it works there, then, open the CONTROL PANEL

    Double-click WINDOWS SIDESHOW

    Uncheck everything that has to do with WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

    You can also try to disable sharing in media player click on... Tools-> Options-> library-> configure share-> uncheck the two 'media find others to share' & "share my media".

    Check if it works.

    If all the above fails try to perform the clean boot

    How to perform a clean boot:

  • 20.0.1: file == > new window & private in new window only will not open then Firefox will not stop running when the application is closed

    Although nothing seems to happen when clicking new window or new private window, there seems to be some process started because when I try to close Firefox and reopen it, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running. My only option then is to stop the process through the Task Manager. I tried (many times) to uninstall and reinstall.

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

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • I need help. My Firefox will not stop do it, even after I reinstalled it. I stop Firefox and when I open it up it shows the previous site.

  • Apple's music will not stop downloading music

    I don't want Apple's music to download all my music on my iPad 2. I disabled the automatic music download in settings/iTunes Store and App Store on my iPad.  I also disabled iCloud music library in settings/music.  I restarted the device.  Yet when I run the music app it maintains to download my music.

    Same thing happened to mine after I updated my local PC to the latest version of iTunes and then said what he re - scan my iTunes to Match.

    I wake up the next day with my completely dead ipad which was weird.

    Accused it upward and then used for a bit and then he sat down and came back and it decreased by 30%!

    Fortunately I found it and then found in music... wait to popup and say "Download xxx songs" click on it and scroll down

    to cancel. However, I got this like 10 times sofar. Whenever it identifies fewer songs to download.

    I of course did not find it until after that I have to reset all the settings on my iPad hoping that would clear out if somehow iTunes game went haywire.

    Before he decided never to just fill my ipad together with songs so I don't understand why he did this time I changed any settings on my ipad

    When I updated my computer iTunes.

    I'm down to get into the music and it says "download 2 songs" but I told him to cancel a few times now and a song seems to be stuck in never

    finishing, so who knows about it.

    Has probably had a life outside of this SSD things with this download 40 GB of music all night.

    Great stuff.

  • Windows Firefox will not close.

    Hello
    I am running windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.1. whenever I click on the Red 'x' to close Firefox, Firefox will not close. If I want to close all tabs, Firefox does not close the last tab. If I try to merge windows (by dragging the tab of a window in a different window) Firefox will create a blank tab on the window where I dragged the dragged tab. So far, the only way to close the Fire Fox is click on the close button or to stop by the Task Manager. When I re - open Firefox Windows and previous tabs are also there, and I'm still not able to close them. I restarted my PC and reinstalled Firefox (uninstalled and re-download). However, after downloading Firefox... the same windows will be opened, with the same tabs! It's horrible!

    Hello cach_dies,

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • The computer date went before a day, switched back and now Firefox will not record history.

    Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

    TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
