Firefox supportforum

Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.77 keeps crashing. It was only installed on 14 March 2014 and I am told it is up to date. I am running Firefox 28.0 on Windows 7 home premium.

The message I get is Warning: Unresponsive Plugin Shockwave Flash maybe busy, or it may have stopped responding, <snip>

I used to get this with an older version of Shockwave Flash and an older verison of Firefox, but in the last few days it has started to happen again (since I updated Firefox to the latest version).

These are the startup videos and other videos you are supposed to be able to view when you first install Firefox. They're not from Youtube or anywhere else. They're coming from Mozilla's homepage or part of Firefox to help you get up and running when you first install it.

I will not use Firefox 29 or newer until the crappy interface introduced in v29 it made user friendly, and bring back certain missing thing from v28 (they may be profile holdovers from a much older version), no the classic theme restorer does not bring them back. The above is here simply to try and stop suggestions about using v29

I have tried going into options menu Firefox>Options>Advanced>Never Check for Updates, but that does not prevent updates. I have had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today every time after telling it to "Never check for updates."

I recently downloaded the Stuffit Expander and ever since then Firefox hasn't been the same. I receive a DNS Solution Yahoo Error Handler page when I do a search sometimes. And now some pages won't even display for me when they should. How do I get rid of this Yahoo thing (In simple terms please)? Thanks!

The mail program on Yahoo has been frozen in Firefox, no other browser. Yesterday, I opened it, and i was unable to delete mail because the whole toolbar with delete, reply, forward, spam, etc. was no longer on my mail window. I tried to send an email, but this function was also disabled.

Basically, the only thing that Firefox enables in Yahoo mail is loading new emails. I had to use Safari and Chrome to perform these functions on the toolbar that is still missing in Firefox.

What happened? How to restore these functions?

Hey everyone,

This seems to be a common problem, but videos are not working on Firefox, and not just for YouTube. I have updated Adobe Shockwave and Flash, re-installed Firefox, deleted/created a Firefox profile, started up Firefox in Safe Mode, turned off HTML5, checked if any of my plug-ins are disabled, and none of those have helped.

When I get on YouTube and click a video, the video itself doesn't even load. On other sites, in the box where the video should be playing, it says "No video with supported format and MIME content can be found." This kind of confuses me because I have updated the Adobe Flash.

Thoughts? Anything would be appreciated at this point.

How can I disable plugin-container permanently in firefox 28. Ive tried "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled" and it is set to false. I've tried : "Right click on your computer icon on the desktop and click properties

   Go to Advance system settings
   Click the button called "Environment Variables"
   Click the “New” button under User variables or System variables depending if you want the change to affect all the users on the system or just the one you are currently logged as
   Set the variable name to MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS and its value to 1

Ive tried running firefox in safe mode and the stupid plugin-container.exe is still running still eating CPU and making things slow..

How can I trash it? I don't need any explanations on how its "useful" I want it gone.. end of story..

A separate window popped up and said, "Congratulations, you have won the 2014 Annual Visitor Survey (Houston). I answered the survey questions, and then it gave me the choice of 3 prizes. That's where I stopped and realized that this may be a scam of some sort. Does Firefox even do this kind of thing, because it looks really well done. If not, is there a way to report this as a scam? If I did win something, that's great, but I want to make sure this is safe first. Thank you

This code is working in chrome but not in firefox why?

<input type="date" name="date" value="" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-date wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-validates-as-date" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="mm/dd/yyyy">

Can anyone tell me why userscripts.org is unaccessible? I've been trying for the last three days, and firefox timed out on me on all three of my computers, home desktop, home laptop, and work computer. Thank You. David

I am downloading a bunch of short films roughly 25 to 40 minutes each. I am using Time Warner Cable with a download speed of 30 mpbs.

I noticed that I can only download 6 films at one time using Firefox. When one of them is finished, then I can download another clip.

Is there a way that I can increase the number of downloads to a new maximum amount?

When I installed Firefox on my new Windows 8 computer, I got a style in which there is no title bar. The tabs are up there with an orange Firefox button at the left. It provides access to the menu items. I like that. However, I wanted the function of my profile on a Windows 7 machine. (Lots of stuff in there.) When I installed that, it put me back in a situation where there is a title bar unnecessarily wasting some vertical screen space. In that Windows 7 profile, I was using the Tiny Menu addon to compress the menu items onto a single button. It is on a line with the Location bar and the search bar. The tabs are below. I cannot figure out what to tweak in the profile from my Windows 7 to get to the appearance I like in the Windows 8 install.

I tried the advice here: http://www.squidoo.com/hide-firefox-title-bar I don't see any Tabs on Top setting, and browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is already set to true. When I disable the Menu toolbar, the title bar goes away and the tabs are up there with the orange Firefox button; however, I lose the Location bar and the search bar altogether.

There's got to be a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.

I can't access google in any browser ( Chrome, Explorer,Firefox). It just does not load. But i don't have any problem with any other sites. Actually i could even access google just yesterday.

I've tried deleting the cookies, installing anti-malware softwares, i cleared the cache, i cleared all the history etc... I basically tried everything that was proposed on previous questions but nothing helps.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help. Thank you.

The certificate that shows via FIREFOX looks to be fiddler2.com even though it says GOOGLE.COM at the top. Do you have a high jacking issue? Is Firefox safe to use?

With the new update, Google Music now sends desktop notifications. Firefox asked me if I wanted to enable them, and I accepted, but now I find them very annoying. How can I turn them off? I searched in the options but I didn't find anything
