I'm running 36.0.4 but when I check for updates, it says there are no updates. Yet if I go to the Firefox page it tells me it looks like I am running an older version. Is there something wrong with the update check?

So I've "always" used Chrome to watch youtube since firefox + flash has always been garbage. Now I installed Firefox 37 and I got the impression youtube should work with HTML5 videos. I go to the youtube.com/html5 and it shows everything except "MSE & WebM VP9" working. When I try to play any video, I just get a black box with a spinning circle of dots. In Chrome the video starts to play immediately. I have a GTX 970 with newest drivers and HW acceleration on in Firefox. I guess the videos are supposed to work finally... except they don't?

All this Youtube/HTML5 talk has me so confused. I never had to opt into anything or had to change things in about:config. It all just worked perfectly by not having Flash installed at least since (verfied that) version 32.

It all just worked perfectly by not having Flash installed at least since (verfied that) version 32. Ditto. The MSE stuff is really just an improvement to how Youtube buffers the video (I believe by allowing the site to grab chunks - potentially with different bitrates - and seamlessly paste them together in Javascript). HTML5 video has worked on Youtube/Firefox for a long time now. For what it's worth, I didn't have to set any hidden prefs, and I'm pretty sure everything's working as it should. The only thing I don't see is 1080p+ resolutions, but I'm guessing that's because Youtube just isn't offering them to me. Avenging Dentist fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Apr 2, 2015 |

Even setting aside the whole Mozilla Win64 internal politics thing, [img-4k-  ]Oh yeah, 38.0 beta Win64 is being pushed through autoupdate to 37.0 beta Win64 users now. I can't imagine why they wouldn't push it to Win32 beta users! (Oh wait yeah I can they saw how it worked with Chrome OS X.) Flipperwaldt posted:All this Youtube/HTML5 talk has me so confused.

A lot of stuff is going MSE+H.264 though, which means on Firefox a lot of stuff is getting kicked back to Flash. Workaround: about :config posted:media.mediasource.enabled = TRUE // may already be enabled Your call on whether you want to disable the media.mediasource.whitelist. I think Mozilla's waiting to see if their default-install Cisco OpenH264 and Adobe Primetime Content Decryption plugins do the trick first. If you're feeling especially human and not worried about Mozilla knowing about your goat porn or whatever you might consider turning on some of the phone-home stuff with it. There's also something about ignore_codecs you might find searching for it but it doesn't seem to be necessary anymore so why clutter it up. You still have to say yes to the HTML5 player. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Apr 2, 2015 |

When I watch Twitch streams in Firefox, the amount of memory used steadily increases until there is no more memory to use, then it stops being able to display large images, and it won't free that memory up unless I restart Firefox. Is there any solution to this?

I've never said yes or no to html5, but according to this page I don't have that option anymore. 37 is causing youtube to load html5 but fails and refreshes back into flash on each video I watch, so I'd like to get this sorted out. Is there a good reason to switch yet? I don't generally have problems with firefox handling youtube videos with flash.

Technically: eh. I don't know if Google's willing to cut Flash loose quite yet. Maybe as a matter of principle. If you use NoScript, you need to whitelist mediasource: and you might want to do it manually because you have less than a second to catch it when a video loads before YouTube defaults to a Flash version of the video's page.

Knormal posted:What system borders are you talking about? The titlebar, the edge around non-maximized windows? You're familiar with Classic Theme Restorer, right? That lets you control just about every theme element in Firefox, anything beyond that is going to be a Gnome setting. I know KDE lets you add application-specific rules for window styles, I don't know if Gnome has the same. that didn't do anything useful, but https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ did, and in about :config enabling the "tabs on title bar" option

TheQat posted:noob question: if you install the xpi from github, does it still automatically update? That depends. If you are on development builds of Firefox or Chrome, yes, provided you have manually switched to the new chris controlled repository. If you are on release builds of Firefox or Chrome, they only update from the add-on store, and currently the state of that is kind of messy (gorhill still wants control of his add-on dev account, so chris needs to make a new one and petition to have the name moved across). No idea if an extension can be upgrade to one with anew guid, which is what will need to happen for it to be automatic.

isndl posted:Do you use voice chat, like Skype? By default Windows will lower the sound of active media when it detects voice communications, and sometimes doesn't return it to normal levels afterwards. It's one of the things I have to disable on every install of Windows. That's what I thought, but I disabled it and it's still happening. Just as annoying, sometimes the volume slider will jump up and down. It could be a Windows issue, but it so far only happens with Firefox, particularly when something is using Flash it seems.

Has anyone ever had issues with YouTube playlists going to the next video prematurely? I've had this problem come and go for the past year or more and have never found a fix. It happens with both the flash and html5 player. It happens seemingly completely at random the video will be like 5 minutes done out of 30, or sometimes even just a few seconds in, or sometimes near but not at the end of the video and will stop and go to the next video. But then sometimes it works correctly and goes all the way to the end. When it starts happening it will usually continue to be a problem for the next several hours/rest of the day but then after that I might go weeks without it happening.

I'm watching a streaming basketball game, and it'll hitch every so often. YouTube doesn't do this, as far as I've noticed (don't watch a ton, though). Any idea what's going on? I'll try it on Chrome to see how that goes.

Nope the only thing I have that could be considered a Youtube extension is BYTubeD which generates download links from Youtube playlists. But I installed that because of the problem, easier to just download a whole playlist and watch it in VLC than deal with it constantly jumping to the next video prematurely.
