Suddenly Firefox stopped playing music playlists from MOG and you tube videos. The pages load, the selected song/video appears video screens flicks quickly from black to white NO video or sound, Mog music loads , selected song appears, sound dial moves, arrows for next/previous work BUT no sound and the dreaded barber pole! Another browser does JUT FINE??? Only Fire fox won't. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled Firefox/reinstalled still won't play! Other functions are fine JUST music and You Tube videos! I want to use Firefox BUT this is maddening please HELP!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
