Firefox; YouTube freezes – solution?
All of a sudden I had problems with YouTube and other video – but also music – playing websites….
Most of the time it would all play perfect – and then…… there would be a file which stops after 2 seconds…. And none of the other ones would play also….
I needed to restart my firefox and in 75% of the cases – it would play again…
Until this week all of a sudden restarting firefox wouldn’t help….
Time for GOOGLE….. and I found (MY) solution in a forum….
And maybe it will also help some of you; as it seems to be a bigger problems than I first thought….
The problem is (* in my case *) the version of flash player = 9.something.
What I did;
got a tool to uninstall the Flash 9 = Revo uninstaller -> this is a better uninstaller than Windows…. – it makes a program really totally disappear !!
installed the new version of Flash = Flash 10 –> improved – and without that bug….
And yes – that was my solution. I have been waiting about 4 days before I would do this post….. = but till now…. REALLY WORKING…..
I had the exact same problem that I fixed by installing Flashplayer 10, too!
@Daisy the Curly Cat; seems that some people still had the problem because they installed the Flashplayer 10 on top of the 9. I hope yours is okay now… – otherwise a clean install could still help…
