Simple question: how to get videos to show on Firefox? They work for me using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

Thanks

I use Firefox too and they work. What does your browser display here?



Perhaps you have an add-on or Greasemonkey script that is blocking/removing video embeds? You can test by disabling them under Tools > Add-ons.

Thanks, Dan.

Your video came up fine on Firefox, but the videos on this page don't:

When to Stop HX Flush

I checked my add-on page. Not sure if anything there is causing this, but I do see plug-ins for Quicktime, Silverlight, and Shockwave. Would there be a Norton setting doing this?

You may want to disable add-ons to see if that corrects the problem. This video from the referenced thread displays fine for me on Firefox:

You might check if you have NoScript added, this blocks sites from running scripts unless you temporarily or permanently allow them. I run this in FireFox and I see that it reports scripts running from Google and Youtube for the videos that wouldn't play unless you allow them and you should see the NoScript logo shown below (upper left corner).



If so, you can click on the video to temporarily allow them or click on the NoScript icon to control scripts on a site-by-site basis.

If not, give us a list of the add-ons your using and maybe we can figure it out.

This doesn't show up anywhere on my screens. I will try to disable all add-ons and see what happens

Dan and yakster,

I disabled two ad blocking programs, Norton is still running, Windows Media Player plugins disabled.

Plugins still running: Silverlight, Shockwave, Quick Time, Napster, microsoft and Java and Active Touch running.

Could it be something other than a plug in.

Dan, your video runs and has Google in the lower right corner, FWIIW.

Dave

The other videos are hosted at Youtube... perhaps there's a site-blocker preventing you from getting to Youtube.

Are you able to view videos on Youtube in it's own window such as this one I posted of a La Peppina double shot of espresso?

Hmm, re-reading the original post, that doesn't make sense since you can watch using IE. Still, it would be useful to know if you can follow and view Youtube links in FireFox anyway.

Chris,

I was able to watch your YouTube Peppina video. Nice one by the way. So maybe it's a You Tube/Firefox/my computer type problem . I will see if You Tube videos are the only ones that don't play.

I agree that this is weird, but who said life was fair?

I'll check back in later.

Dave

OK,

videos hosted by You Tube do not come up, but Google and others do. I wonder if this happens on Coffeegeek as well. Any ideas?

Dave
