My son is trying to do his math homework.
It gives an example at:
https://www.bigideasmath.com/protected/ ... _05_1.html
The voice plays, but no video. Also controls only flash for a second, and are gone. Paste it into IE, and it works.
Any ideas?
No extensions.

Re: can't do math homework
Works for me using the latest nightly? Did you try Firefox Safe mode?

Re: can't do math homework
I don't have the beta version, but it worked for me. I am running under Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit) and I have Flash installed. The versions of Firefox I tried (and worked) are:
Do you have the current Flash installed? (Mozilla tends to block the running of older versions of Flash.)
Have you blocked Flash?
Have you tried changing "Use hardware acceleration when available" to the opposite setting? (In 55.0.2, this isn in Options -> "General", scroll down to "Performance" / [x] Use recommended performance setting. UN-check "Use recommended performance setting" to see "[x]Use hardware acceleration when available". If that fixes it, it is possible that the video driver might be out of date (Windows Update can be installing an old driver or just part of a driver, so check the manufacturer's website) or incompatible.
Also, on Add-ons -> plugins, for "Shockwave Flash", try "Always activate" or "Ask to Activate". If you have it on "Never Activate" it could cause problems for sites that need it.

Re: can't do math homework
Any reason you're using a beta?
Does it work for you in 55 release?

Re: can't do math homework
its a html5 video no flash required. try safe mode or refresh profile. i think you are familiar with these methods.

Yes, I like some of the newer features, and in return, "test" (report bugs) for Mozilla (the people who make it).therube wrote:Any reason you're using a beta?

Did not try that version.
I got what I needed for the time being using IE.

56beta2 shows the video with no changes to ublock (full customized) windows 8/32bit.
again - test safe mode or a fresh profile. any other is wasted time - for you and us.

Re: can't do math homework
It plays fine for me too and also in Google Chrome...but I still "can't do math homework". Sure glad I don't have any kids in school anymore.
And what would humiliate me most is it is probably only 4th or 5th grade work.

I often take a long windy road to my destination. Upon arrival, I wonder how I missed the shortcut.

Like I said, there are no extensions. This is a brand new profile.Brummelchen wrote:56beta2 shows the video with no changes to ublock (full customized) windows 8/32bit.

Doesn't matter any more, I got what I needed from IE.
