I actually have two issue which maybe the same issue. 1. Certain sites that I regular navigate to that have some sort of embedded media, the media does not display. As an example on the site http://odb.org/, in the top left corner is a player which displays in Chrome and IE and displayed in Firefox prior to 4.0 but now only displays a white box but no play button or volume control. Other websites with different media types are blank. I have a site with code that displays an embedded interactive speaking character and the portion of the screen is should display remains blank.

2. Second issue, maybe related is while the Firefox 4.0 appears to be fast. On the same sites with embedded media or with complex pages (probably has stuff I don't know is there), the page attempts to load and you see the waiting for or transferring message in the bottom left corner. It takes a while and then if you attempt to click anywhere on the page you get the "not responding" message but the page eventually loads possible with missing content. Heck I have this problem accessing the Firefox support page.

That is Flash content on the http://odb.org/ site.
Make sure that your security software (firewall) doesn't block or restrict the plugin-container process.

See also:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Nope. Went through that list before and nothing. For kicks, I try it all again. I turned off every add-on but Shockwave and that didn't work either. Also, on the Adobe Flash test page the Flash portion of the screen does not display when I use FireFox but does when I use Chrome, so I couldn't check the whole hardware acceleration setting anyway. I had reboot issues when I was forced to upgrade to Firefox. I am wondering whether my download is somehow corrupt. And if you were wondering, Safe mode didn't work either. When's the next Firefox patch. funny thing is everything worked well in Firefox 3.6 and below, so either the update to 4.0 or the download process broke something.

Success!!! That was it. I downloaded Firefox 4.0 again and now it appears the odb.org page displays the play button and the Adobe Flash page loads correctly as well. Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.
