FF 3.5 issue

Jimmy1983 · 12 Jul 2009 at 08:30

This build has been soild for me until a few days ago, now most things seem to be bad to normal apart from I cant hear any sound when viewing vids in FF, anyone else suffering?

Thanks, closing FF doesnt do anything for mind. I do had a number of tabs open-will try closing them

Nope

Back to how it was now, as it doesnt render my webpages correctly

If you're getting no sound in Flash videos it's an issue with Flash itself. What do you mean "doesn't render correctly"?

I've been getting a lot of errors in the new firefox, I got sick of it when it crashed again this morning so went back to chrome

Shame because I really like the new firefox, it actually tore me away from chrome in the first place.

Looks like it didn't load the CSS. Some adblocker getting in the way?

Usual drill too, try safe mode (should be a shortcut in your start menu) and/or a new profile.

drill?

Can I create a new profile, then copy my existing one across?

I repeat it in just about every Firefox thread I post in, and in 99% of cases a new profile fixes whatever problem is being had.

You can copy bits across (and choose which profile you use), but copying the profile wholesale will only copy the problem with it.

Didnt work

Maybe a re-install off FF may work :confused:

It's very unlikely. So in a completely new profile, no bookmarks, no settings, no extensions, YouTube appears without the CSS?

The site looks fine, just no sound

Dont get any sound from any websites in FF. IE is fine. I uninstalled reinstalled various adobe software. But before all that I still had the problem

tolien · 13 Jul 2009 at 18:18

If it's sites like YouTube then that uses Flash and IE uses a different Flash plugin to Firefox (did you use the uninstaller on the Adobe site?). It seems to be a common issue though, with a whole load of different solutions, but it's never happened to me.

It's not common to 3.5 either.

Try Chrome/Opera/another version of Firefox (with a different profile) - they should all use the same plugin (and presumably stored data).

Youtube plays fine in chrome
