I've upgraded to Win 8.1, Firefox v26, Shockwave, Flash, and the newest Java JRE's. YouTube videos result in an error message and to try again later. The interesting feature is that IE v11 will show the videos with no error. The Win 8.1 upgrade took away my sound, and I've read the other problems that seem to be related to YouTube and sound. But, IE plays the videos with no sound, so that's not sound related.

Why do I constantly have to worry about one of your updates ruining something I want to use.
I am beginning to hate software developers at Microsoft, Adobe, Java, and now Mozilla.
And please explain why incompatible extensions cannot be removed? I want to hear this one.

Firefox crashes
It always crashes on Facebook if I'm there very long. The longer I have Firefox open the greater risk of crashing and I have to shut it down with Task Manager.

Hi, I've just accidentally deleted my whole partition which I save the back up bookmark (.json). I did manage to recovered it from a program but it seem like Firefox unable to process it. And my Sync Data seem to be gone too. And I know nothing about json file (yeah, I did some research but it seem it's out of my range.) I guess anyone can help me?

I use IE-Favorites not only for internet url shortcuts, but also as a normal folder (which it is actually). I work with Firefox on a Windows PC with plugin "PlainOldFavorites" for the bookmarks.
On my Mac , I would like the equivalent function (IE folder for bookmarks in Firefox) but the same plugin does not work on Mac. Which plugin would have that functionality ? To have access to the same folder (or a synchronized copy of Favorites) ?
Thank you

I have a new Nexus 10, and installed both Firefox and the Epson print app. when I go to the Rockville swim and fitness center, full screen, it will show me a button on the right side labeled schedule. clicking on that starts a download (it should simply show me the contents of the file like the real Firefox does). if I go to the download section of Firefox, the download is listed, but when I try to view it with the word app, it claims that the file is not present. if I try to view it with the Epson app, it claims that the app has stopped. if I go into epson print and look around, i can find the file and read it. But this is unreasonably complex. The same problem occurrs with crome, but crome doesnt appear to support full screen. this problem is not present on the apple ipad with default web browser.

Comcast has been making changes to their e-mail for several months. It has affected the way the e-mail works, but the issues are different for different browsers. I have had issues since August. At any rate, this morning I was unable to even log on to the e-mail system via Firefox, but I could get to it via IE.
If you're interested, here's what I posted on their 'internet forum' this morning:

I have repeatedly used 'Block Site' to preclude the intruders as their activities frequently void whatever I am attempting to do, but the intruders still get through. Their addresses are:
browseupdate.com/firefox/index.html?aff_sub=s0001311
Also my Firefox is frequently diverted to the following sites without my permission or choice:

My version of Opera is not affected by these intruders and I am considering not continuing to use Firefox.
Thank you for any assistance.

I updated to version 26, and now the Juniper Network's VPN client will not load, or recognize the latest version. I also noticed that GoToMeeting web links will not auto start the session. I am having to open IE and manually paste that into the URL from there. I would revert to 25; but I do not see a link for that. How can I either revert, or fix the issues. Thanks

Several months ago, my smallest window size was less than 2 * 2 inches. Then for no reason, the smallest size became about 2*2 inches. This was larger than I wanted but couldn't figure out why the change occurred or how to change it. So I learned to live with it.
Yesterday (12/19/13) when I logged into Firefox, the minimum size became 4*2 inches. This is too wide for me for many of the views that I want. I have not updated Firefox or Java recently. I don't know why this change occurred and would like to know how to redefine the minimum size window on Firefox.
The minimum size window for my IE browser and my Chrome browser is still 2*2. So the problem with the minimum 4*2 window is with Firefox only.

when using an Adobe flash page a small window appears requiring a download (usually 10kb) to get past the grayed-out covering of the flash item. Ad blocker can stop download window, but then the flash page will not appear for use. Quote:
"Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage cdn.arenaconnect.arkadiumhosted.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer. Requested: up to 10 KB Currently Used: 0 kb (with) Allow & Deny buttons "
Of course, the "request" makes it impossible to get past the Deny to the flash page.

I have Firefox 26.0 installed (though this has happened in previous versions). I have been through all the previous questions about this problem, but none match what I'm seeing. It's happening to others accessing my web site. I have a sample web page that I have up that presents the problem at http://flory.net/gabl/docx.htm.
When I click on the link on the above page (an office 2007 word document .docx), I get a page of gibberish as though it downloads the file as a text document. I've been through all the steps I could find in support to fix this to no avail, including resetting all defaults, etc. .doc works great, but I cannot find anything in the Options/Applications that will allow me to modify/add info to handle neither .doc nor .docx.
