Re: Vine videos do not play on Firefox.
Good question. A link to a https source would be welcomed. Also, have you tried safe mode?

Re: Vine videos do not play on Firefox.
Having the same issue so I tried IE and interestingly enough, Vine videos don't play in IE either. Since I almost never use IE I have no idea if this is something new or if Vine videos have always had problems in IE.

Re: Vine videos do not play on Firefox.
If you are having problems in multiple browsers, it's probably an OS-level codec issue. I have no idea how to update those.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Can you tell me, and anyone else who might be interested, how to make a toolbar button that will toggle that setting? That's the fix I need, but I'd also like a button to toggle it off and on.
Thanks.

I installed the Custom Buttons Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... m-buttons/
I then created a button with the following code in the Initialization Tab:
Code: Select all
/*Initialization Code*/
var Title = "Vine";
var TTE = "HTML5 H264 Support Enabled";
var TTD = "HTML5 H264 Support Disabled";
var prefBranch = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
this.onLeftClick=function(event)
{
if (!prefBranch.getBoolPref("media.windows-media-foundation.enabled")) {
prefBranch.setBoolPref("media.windows-media-foundation.enabled", true);
custombuttons.alertSlide(Title, TTE);
} else {
prefBranch.setBoolPref("media.windows-media-foundation.enabled", false);
custombuttons.alertSlide(Title, TTD);
}
}
this.execute= function(event)
{
switch(event.button)
{
case 0:
this.onLeftClick();
break;
}
}
this.setAttribute("onclick", "this.execute(event);");
For the name I called it "Vine On/Off". I downloaded the Vine's website favicon for an image to use for the button.

I couldn't find their favicon, so I used a generic star, but the important thing is that the button works. Thanks!

Their icon is here: https://vine.co/static/favicon.ico (oh save the file locally and use the local saved copy)

No wonder I couldn't find it. I thought those had to be in the root folder. I saved it to my computer, edited the button, and now I have a Vine button instead of a star. Thanks again.

Re: Vine videos do not play on Firefox.
FYI, not sure if due to newer version of FF (now 24) or a change in how they are coding the Vine videos/player but now they work properly using HTML5 with media.windows-media-foundation.enabled set to true.
