Mindseyes Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with youtube videos?Whats going on is the video's play fine but the audio cuts in and out.....any of you guys come across this problem, if so have yall found a fix?
cynic Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I may have seen something similar. I had an issue watching videos on my laptop that would occasionally happen that would drive the CPU usage up to 100%. After installing FF 4.0 it happened 9x in 2 days. It's with IT now.When the CPU usage spiked the video and audio would be erratic as well as other functions. Not sure if I had a more severe case than what you're experiencing or something totally different, but if IT figures it out I'll pass along the info on what they were able to do.
Samurai Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I'm waiting for 4.0.1They'll have it sorted out in a few weeks.
Hackubus Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I was having problems with FF & YT...the audio was fine, but no video. UNLESS the YT vid was imbedded in a thread, I couldn't get the video.(IE viewing on YT.com was a no go) Seems to have sorted itself out in the last week. Can't recall if there was a FF update or not.
RobB Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with youtube videos?Whats going on is the video's play fine but the audio cuts in and out.....any of you guys come across this problem, if so have yall found a fix?Are you running a Mac/OSX? If so, go to System Prefs, Energy Saver, and make sure Processor Performance is set to "Automatic." Worked for my old iBook, though I have to quit other apps so youtube can run properly.
Hamer Time Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Check if you have 'Remember History' selected in Tools/Options/Privacy.That can effect video playback in 4.0 for some reason.If that doesn't work uninstall Firefox and clean your registry with something like CCleaner in safe mode, and then reinstall. You won't lose your FF settings (add-on etc.), it will ask you during uninstall if you want to keep them.http://www.piriform.com/
unfun75 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I updated to 4 a wekk ago. I wish I had not.You can uninstall 4 and then install an older version. Mozilla makes it hard to find, but the final version of 3 is still available on their site.
