Re: Flash down to a crawl
Moz has dumped all the other plugins. Time to dump Flash. Does any other open-source company have so little regard for their users? (Meant rhetorically.)
Actually, about 5 years ago there was another plugin that played Flash content...sometimes.

Re: Flash down to a crawl
This has gotten worse. I'm getting double soundtracks in Youtube but only 1 picture, pic then stops, then FF locks up, can't close it in Task Manager, then the entire computer locks up. Do you think I should join the Adobe Flash forum (something like my 25th forum, sigh,) or do you think it's FF?

Hi LMFxy,
Which extensions are you running?

Re: Flash down to a crawl
Hi LoveMyFoxy,
This must be so frustrating for you !
Did you ever get a chance to check out the link I gave you in my first post :
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/wa ... ive-script
Joining 25 forums ? Wouldn't you rather narrow that down to this forum (MozillaZine) and then maybe Mozilla's support forum :
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ge ... ty-support
I sure hope you will get this problem solved soon - fingers crossed, and : Good Luck !

Re: Flash down to a crawl
By default, Flash should not even be used at Youtube.I'm getting double soundtracks in Youtube but only 1 picture, pic then stops, then FF locks up, can't close it in Task Manager, then the entire computer locks up. Do you think I should join the Adobe Flash forum (something like my 25th forum, sigh,) or do you think it's FF?
So if you are in fact using Flash at Youtube, you did something to force its use.

Yes, I checked out the KB article.
The 25 forums are not for Mozilla, but for other software, electronics, home repair, etc. Wherever I have a problem area, I join a forum to get answers.

Re: Flash down to a crawl
Hmm, (with Flash installed) did you ever create a New Test Profile with no Extensions added?

Re: Flash down to a crawl
When I moved my profile from XP to my new Win7 computer recently, I found that with my YT All HTML5 extension, I was getting sound but no picture. It's still happening. Temporarily I switched Flash back on, forgot about it, and then remembered, when Flash started acting crazytherube wrote:By default, Flash should not even be used at Youtube.I'm getting double soundtracks in Youtube but only 1 picture, pic then stops, then FF locks up, can't close it in Task Manager, then the entire computer locks up.

OK, I'm in Safe-Mode now. Flash videos play with no add-ons except the plugin H264Video Codec by Cisco.
The game I'm using for testing--the page is there, and the name of the game, but the page is full of ads and links to a sleazy game site. (I guess this is what FF will look like after v. 56.).
I've forgotten how to list my extensions, but I can start testing by elimination.

Re: Flash down to a crawl
This might both interest and horrify all of you. On the Safe-Mode page in Moz's KB, the first thing they tell you to try, before testing extensions, is to refresh. Could be why we see so many refreshments (pardon the pun) in the forum. It reminds me of the time in the 90's, when, if you called MS for help, they told you first to restore your puter back to factory settings.

Re: Flash down to a crawl
The most important thing for me is that videos play on my pages for work, but I can't test them until one comes along.

Re: Flash down to a crawl
Youtube problem solved. See above.
OK, tested my add-ons by elimination. Flash problem on other sites caused by neither an extension, nor a plug-in.
Can't see test here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/

Re: Flash down to a crawl
I'm not going to read this whole topic... but I've 'always' removed all Flash using their tool... then I got my Flash from here... just saying...

Re: Flash down to a crawl
(I'm confused, a bit... Anyhow...)
Safe Mode does not disable Flash.
Safe Mode will disable an extension that may be forcing Flash (say, on Youtube).
Safe Mode would not revert Preference settings that may disable certain types of video playback (say HTML5), in which case certain sites (say, on Youtube) in not finding said playback method available (say HTML5) might revert to some other method of displaying media (videos), like with Flash.
