Additionally: Just updated NVIDIA drivers..worked for 5 minutes then stopped. After refresh/restart still not working

I dont even get the little lego block thing near the address bar appearing so thats probably a bad sign

I checked and the player works fine.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
