I get a message on the video player update. What is going on? Why do I need this? Prove that I do - too much virus there for just downloading something

A page keeps popping up saying THAT FIREFOX wants me to download this video player. I am wary of download anything these days by the virus software out there

If you receive a message pop up asking to update or install other software, then such a message is probably a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

You should only update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.

  • Printer installation tries to install e-printer on a netbook... don't get a message on the spooler service. What is the spooler service?

    Try to install e-printer on a netbook... don't get a message on the spooler service.  What is the spooler service?

    Hi Pat,

    Spooler service manages print jobs by saving in a queue and submit them to the printer in order specified instead of sending them directly (which can cause the printer back up if too is sent at a time depending on how printing is setup and the printer works).

    Try the simple fix to see if it works.  Go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and place you on print spooler and double-click it.  Click the Dependencies tab, go to all the services listed there and confirm that they are automatic and started.  If this is not the case, change it to automatic, and then restart them.  Once finished, return to the print spooler and set it to automatic and start it.  Click OK and close out Services and control panel and restart.  When you come back, come back to Services and check that the print spooler again told automatic and started.  If this isn't the case, after back and let's check other things.  If so, proceed to the installation of the printer, and this particular problem should no longer be a problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • The update for the video player is for Windows, I have a Mac, is an another scheduled update?

    I received two notifications that the video player for Firefox should be updated. When I try to install the update, I get the message that it cannot do so because it is impossible to run Windows applications on a Mac. An update is planned for Macs? Also, if an update is only for Windows, is there a way I can indicate that I don't need, so I continue to receive messages?

    You have malicious software! (Yes, Macs can get malware).

    Please remove this extension and see if that helps: MediaPlayer 3.3.2

    You can do this on the page modules. Either:

    • CMD + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then find this suspicious extension on the right side and remove (or, in case of doubt, disable).

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled/removed to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  • Embed the video player in WebView - Fullscreen problems

    I'm at the point where I have to integrate a 3rd party html5 web player.

    I created a view of web pages containing the video player embedded in an iFrame. I have also the app resize the display orientation of the device-based Web.

    The problem is with the button full screen set up in the video player. Pressed, she calls a video player fullscreen BB10. This works well until the orientation of the device is changed. The full screen video not to back the new dimensions of the screen, and after leaving full-screen, the webview dimensions are incorrect.

    What is called when the button fullscreen is pushed? Where can I get and edit the metadata for the fullscreen player? Be able to address this issue is absolutely crucial to be able to finish my application, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I've done an investigation more, and it appears as if it is actually a bug in the operating system. I have loaded a developer version of 10.3.1 on my Z10, and media player automatically adapts to the direction correctly.

  • Netflix in Media Player error: "we could not load the video player.

    I recently installed the add-on Netflix to my Windows Media Player.  It was working fine (though I don't find Windows Media Player to be a great product) but now when I try to play something Netflix I get two error reading - each other.

    • The first read error is: "we could not load the video player.
    • The other on another pop up window begins with: an error has occurred in the script on this page. "There are so many lines with details and a URL, then he asks:" do you want to continue running scripts on this page? "With radio buttons or not.

    I tried to uninstall the add-on from Netflix and reinstall - but that does not change.

    I thought to uninstall Windows Media Player and reinstall - but I can't even figure out how to do this.

    All of the suggestions.

    Thank you-

  • How to enlarge the video player?

    man, those things are weird - had to watch anywhere in the page just to know how to write something.  Can someone please tell me how to enlarget the video player?  Some I've seen have a button "full screen", I'm looking at one of these tutorials and cant hardly see the thing.  Also, how to save only few, without restarting it?  I use Windows IE 8, 32-bit, flash player is 10,1,53,64.  Thanks for your help.

    I tried this on all my browsers... Even on your... IE8

    Press control + use the scrollwheel (upward) to enlarge

    Control P & hold + mouse wheel (bottom) to decrease.

    ALSO: (KEYBOARD)

    Control + to increase

    Control - to reduce

    ALSO, ONCE AGAIN:

    ALT + V then Z

    This brings you do display on the action bar context menu. Then a Zoom submenu.

    Select from there.

    I hope this helps. ~ sonis

    I joined just to answer your question... lol

    Edit: Gimme those 10pts and say my post was correct and accurate

    Oh and side thought:

    You can press F - 11 to enter and exit the full screen display content broswer.

    Then right-click on the toolbar and click Auto-hide / hide toolbars.

    It helps a lot and emule and almost full screen watching these videos...

    I do not use the keys mode full screen, sometimes I answer to messenger

    and I don't want to have to click these buttons to get the real full screen, then I'm smart.

    Oh and if the video player is not a rewind button, you are unable to get back to the top.

    Unless download you it, then read it in another drive.
