FireFox updated today, June 6th, to version 13. The jukebox fails to play in all instances on all websites, but play fine in IE! Is there a fix for this?

The jukebox is CoffeeCup Web Jukebox. It played before the update. Flash and Shockwave are up-to-date. See http://www.dracoboxers.com/levi.html

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I found the problem. Once I was in safe mode, I enabled both the Shockwave Flash and Shockwave Director and the music played. One by one, I enabled the other plugins and found 1 conflict (Mozilla Active X control and plugin support) which is now disabled. All other plugins are enabled as well as the extensions and the music is playing! Thanks bunches for your help!! :)

It plays for me in Fx13 on Windows 7. (I don't get the connection between this song and this boxer, though...)

Are you having problems with Flash on any other sites? For example, Adobe's test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Flash plugin is installed, tests on the page you linked as working, but doesn't show on the plugin page. Shockwave is also installed, is listed on the plugin page, but doesn't 'test' as working. The jukebox was working before the update to Version 13!

The connection between the Boxer and the song....Levi turned 9 years old on February 10 and has been rumored 'dead' since he turned 2 years old, hence the song 'I'm Alive'!

I realize this is very confusing, but the plugins both have Shockwave in the name: Shockwave (for Director) and Shockwave Flash (the Flash player). So you have Flash and it is working on at least some sites.


You may want to try clearing your Firefox cache and see whether that helps:

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"


You also could test in Firefox's Safe Mode to rule out conflicting add-ons, but you would need to re-enable the Shockwave Flash plugin before testing the page.

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Next, restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."

Back on Add-ons > Plugins, see if you can enable Shockwave Flash. If not, then this test isn't going to work...

If you revisit the page, does the music play?

Hi potto, thanks for reporting the solution. I recommend completely uninstalling the old Mozilla ActiveX control, since it hasn't had security updates since about Firefox 1.5.

Uninstalling the ActiveX plugin on Windows

  • Close all instances of your browser.
  • Go to the installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox).
  • Go into the "plugins" folder and delete the file "npmozax.dll".
  • Go back to the installation directory, and then go into the "components" folder, and delete the files "nsIMozAxPlugin.xpt" and "nsAxSecurityPolicy.js".
  • Go back to the installation directory, open the "defaults" folder, then open the "pref" folder and delete the file "activex.js".

I only found the npmozax.dll file referenced above and deleted it. I did a search for the other files and they weren't found. Thank you both for answering my question and helping to resolve my problem. :)

Thanks for posting back, potto.

For the record, the Mozilla ActiveX plugin was added to the Mozilla Blocklist today and it will soon be automatically disabled for other Firefox users who may still have it installed.
