• Firefox having issues with Youtube and Facebook
    5 replies, posted
I have been using Minefield for several months, however I reverted to the latest stable version of Firefox due to lack of addon support. Since reverting, Firefox has been having some strange issues, the worst of them being with Youtube and Facebook. With Youtube, every single video I try to watch, whether embedded or on the site itself, will say "An error occurred, please try again later." On Facebook, Firefox would crash with alarming frequency (sometimes up to 5 times in a single minute) when using Facebook chat. I was never able to reliably reproduce the crash, it seemed to happen at random when clicking text boxes and other page elements or switching to another program window. More recently, however, Facebook chat has stopped working entirely and the page no longer automatically updates to show notifications and such, requiring me to refresh the page every few minutes to see new content. Facebook chat will work for about 2 seconds after opening/refreshing the page, then show this icon [img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6738/brokem.png[/img] However, when hovering the mouse over it, the tooltip is empty rather than showing the usual "No connection" text. Here is my list of currently installed addons [img]http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/4601/addonsp.png[/img] (Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant, Nightly Tester Tools, and Skype extension for Firefox are all disabled, and not properly visible due to my awful taste in Windows customization) Does anybody have any idea what might be happening?
Try disabling NoScript and Adblock on YouTube and see if it works.
Youtube still does not work with Adbluck Plus and Noscript disabled.
Try disabling every single addon, and see if it works. If it does work after that, simply re-enable each one until you find the problematic one.
Disabling all addons did not fix either issue. Here is my plugins also [img]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1068/extz.png[/img] Quicktime plugin 7.6.6 is disabled, and again not properly visible due to my "HURR MATRICKS" colour scheme.
Well I found out the Youtube problem had something to do with blocked cookies, and the facebook problem mysteriously fixed itself. Thanks anyways. (woah what happened to automerge)
