Problem with Firefox 3.0.6

Mcninjaguy · 02-06-2009, 02:46 AM

I'm not sure if its an inherent problem with Firefox or Flash 10 but when I'm on http://revision3.com/ waching a video or even a webcomic my computer just freezes and I have to restart

I know its not a problem with my graphics card as its around 42C on idle and around 64 - 69C (depending on room temperature) on load

I can play video with VLC player and its fine

my CPU is around 42C on idle ( a little hot but I can't afford anything right now)

this is just odd as I have everything up to date I think

I'll go through whatever steps you want me to do.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that this is giving you such a problem. I see that you just did the update to 3.0.6. When you were at 3.0.5 were you able watch all the videos from revision? Also, I would take a look at your add-ons. Go to the plugins tab and make sure that you aren't missing anything. I check today to see if I am having the same problem, but I can watch the videos.

Start with that and see what you get from it, then we can go from there.

Cheers!

OK so I'm going to post my

plug ins
add ons

disable the plug in for VLC player.

I recently formatted my comp around a month ago. but yes iwas able to watch videos. I think that was before the plug in from VLC player

Well I stupidly failed to burn Windows 7 beta DVD and I then when I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu without using disk management. I did backup my most important thing though my music (75 gigs worth = 17 dvd's)

so I'm going to check but yea I very much doubt its from my Anti Virus and spyware

AV = NOD32
Anti Spyware = Spybot with Teatimer

BTW do you ever use "Snipping tool" its a like a selective screen capture program where you can use a cropping tool to capture what you want in Vista? it easier than cropping "print screen" images in Paint.

Edit: usually 3-7 minutes of play time before the computer freezes

Hi,

Ok, This might sound weird but I have seen lately that a lot of AV's have been doing updates that have been screwing with FF. I don't know if NOD has done one too but I do know that you might want to try turning it off and see what happens just for a little while.

Cheers!

yea it froze again without the VLC plugin I dunno....

I'll try disabling NOD32 but right now I i don't feel like restarting my comp lol

ok I disabled NOD32 whil watching and you were right, its not playing well with Firefox 3.0.6.

I watched the last 20 mins of the show and it was stable.
Weird thing was happening though. My mouse pointer was disapearing off and on every 1/2 to quarter second for a 1/8 of a second.

I think it may have to do with my high end G9 gaming mouse running at:
3200 dpi
and 1000 reports per second

its only happening on revision3 as far as I know

Hi,

Ok so we know the problem. I don't know the answer to the problem at the moment. I am thinking that this is a bigger problem involving the new update of FF. I will do a little looking and see if there is any talk of it on any of the mozilla forums.

Cheers!
