Ideas out there? Why didn't you just inject yourself with the ebola virus? Google is evil. The NSA has nothing on them. No ****. Chrome's gone. === I'm curious in knowing why you tried Chrome. I've been using Firefox for a long time and have never found it lacking anything I needed. I have been having an on-going problem trying to get Firefox to play videos. Often I'll click a link only to get a black screen, and very often I'll get a window popping up telling me my 'Flash Player' isn't working. I've reloaded the damn thing a dozen times, but that's never seemed to help. HOWEVER - when I tried to get that window to pop up just now, by clicking on various links, I couldn't get it. Maybe installing and uninstalling Chrome fixed my Firefox problem. Or, maybe I just need a new computer! === Doubtful that it's really a computer hardware issue although a new computer would no doubt give your software environment a fresh start. I had ongoing problems with Firefox videos for a while and went through some of the same gyrations. Most often if a video would not open I'd just reload the page on Internet Explorer and play it there. Eventually it just cleared up and I'm not sure why. Between the browser, browser extensions, firewall, anti-virus, and ad blocker software, there are a lot of hidden interactions that can be really difficult to troubleshoot. I think some of Apple's success is based on standardization through limiting user choices. I'd really like to see the video content providers standardize their formats so you'd only need to solve the problem once. |
