firefox
i've been having this problem with firefox lately where i start it up and it locks up. Task manager says it's still running and that it is not "Not Responding". But it won't function.
The past few times it has happened, i simply opened up IE and went to mozilla's site and re-download firefox. And that worked fine.
But it happened again and when i re-installed firefox, videos on youtube, ebaums, etc. wouldn't work. So i figured that was flash player. I re-installed that and teh videos still won't load. The video, the player, nothing will load. There is just a black box where the video should be.
I'm out of ideas.

Re: firefox
that's not the problem clorox. i re-installed firefox and it works in general. it just won't play videos. seems like it won't play any, no matter what codec. it just sits there as a black box.

Re: firefox
Mine does the exact same thing - only for yahoo music videos, though (haven't really tried any other music video sites, but I can watch other videos just fine), and when I load up IE and try it, they work just fine.

Re: firefox
Have any of you tried going to the Mozilla website user forum and asking about this?

Re: firefox
if i don't have the installer version on my hard drive can i just look it up on adobe's website?
edit: looked it up on adobe's site. found this: Windows
DownloadDownload the Windows Flash Player 10.3 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 3.22MB) DownloadDownload the Windows Flash Player 10.3 Plugin content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) (EXE, 3.19MB) DownloadDownload the Windows Flash Player 10.3 Projector content debugger (EXE, 6.50MB) DownloadDownload the Windows Flash Player 10.3 Projector (EXE, 5.51MB)
which of those versions would i be downloading? i imagine one of the first two, but i don't know if firefox is a "netscape-compatible browser"
