I have Flash set to "ask to activate." When an applet appears, I click "Activate Adobe Flash", which brings up a dialog box that asks me if I want to activate or activate an remember. This is the way it should work. But, on certain sites where the grey screen with "Activate Adobe Flash" in the middle appears, the dialog does not appear when I click and I am unable to load the applet. Right-clicking and telling it to activate the applet does not work, either. This occurs when the entire page is an applet. Has anyone else experienced this? And is there a fix?

This is the way it should work. You can click in the left of the addressbar, which should show a blue Lego icon for pages with inactivated flash applets.

Here is my screen: edit: I couldn't find what you mentioned, but I did find the settings page(s) that allows for individual settings for individual pages, which fixes the problem for now. Still seems like a GUI bug or something with the dialog not popping up properly on pages like this. meatpath fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Feb 1, 2015 |

Yeah, when that happens I just refresh the page and the control will show up.

Anyone having problems with YouTube now that it defaults to HTML 5? Lots of the time I'll load a page and the video won't play, so I have to reload the page to sort it.

It's probably one of your add-ons or greasemonkey scripts that do things to youtube.

Do you have any Youtube-related add-ons installed? I seem to remember having that problem (or a similar one) with the Youtube Center add-on and the HTML 5 player which went away after I uninstalled it.

Why is it that when Firefox marks Flash as out of date, it isn't able to update it when I click "Update Now"?

Because you shouldn't trust Adobe to make an auto-updater that can actually do its job in a timely fashion, ever. Get the latest version from here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Yeah, YoutubeHD for me had the fascinating effect of starting all videos with two audio streams slightly offset from one another until they were paused. I assume the current problems with videos sometimes eating the CPU are probably related to adblock somehow.

The Mozilla Updater service doesn't require admin rights (past the initial installation, anyway).

End user: "Bah, these updates are annoying." *turns off updates in settings* I have people who prefer Firefox at my workplace too. I tell them we can't. It's a shame, but Mozilla has put zero effort into this, and there's no way my small IT department can pick up that slack.

Alereon posted:Install Firefox to a location that doesn't require admin rights to write to? It installed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\ for me, and does update automatically. At my place we deploy Firefox with SCCM to the default install location, and because of a security policy that looks good on paper but is pretty dumb in practice we're not allowed to push out updates until they've gone through the proper change control process, which means we run on the old version for about a week after an update comes out. When I look before doing the deployment at the end of that week, despite the fact that our users aren't supposed to be able to write to Program Files somehow maybe 5% or so of the machines have gotten the new version somehow. You might try running the auto-update as a normal user and seeing if it just magically works like it does in our environment.

You guys both sound like larger organizations and have more IT staff than I do. I've got myself and one other guy to handle almost 400 users and their workstations as well as all of the infrastructure. I just don't have the time to play around with any of that stuff, or to roll it out to a few people and cross my fingers that they know what they're doing. Or maybe I'm just lazy and incompetent. Either way, Mozilla's lack of giving even a half a poo poo about enterprise environments mean that it doesn't get used here, Chrome does. With Google's provided ADM file, I was able to get it configured and pushed out to everyone's workstation in a few hours, locked down to a degree that made me comfortable.

Joined the ublock bandwagon, memory and cpu usage is significantly lower and the browser is more responsive in general. Haven't noticed any ads that have gotten through or other weird behaviour.

Youtube started crashing FF 36 last night, and simply won't load videos in safe mode, even with Flash up to date. I should probably just drop back to the production version.

Flash has been updated 2 or 3 times the past 10 days or so - make sure you have the latest version as of today. I'm on the latest version and am getting a lot of Flash crashes, so it's quite buggy. I get crashes on both versions 35 and 37.

I grabbed the version that was current as of a few hours ago, but I'll keep an ear out for any other updates. Haven't had this much trouble with Flash since it was introduced. Just have to weather it, I guess. Thanks.

I'm using the release version of Firefox (35.0.1) and ever since the YT HTML5 switchover, video playback has been downright terrible (not that it was great before, mind you). The best extension I've found for fixing YouTube playback in Firefox is this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-in-chrome/ I've given up on video playback in Firefox, and just right click video links to open them in Chrome instead. The problem might be with Google, or it might be with Mozilla, or maybe it's with Microsoft, or maybe it's with AMD, or it could be with Nvidia, or my settings or extensions or codecs, but I just don't care anymore.

Interesting. I can't say I've ever had a problem with YouTube on Firefox. Well, I did once, but that was like six years ago and on Kubuntu. Anyways, I'm still having that weird Facebook problem I detailed earlier, even with addons disabled. I'm at a loss. I suppose it could just be Facebook being terrible.

Does anyone know what uBlock does differently than ABP? I can't find any details on how uBlock actually works.
