Galapagos Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey, I consider myself to be quite internet/computer savvy for someone who is code/networking illiterate, and I usually don't have a hard time figuring out how to adjust my browser/OS settings, or troubleshooting my own simple HW/SW problems. For reference, I use windows 2000. As of yesterday, or perhaps the day before, my audio and video streams(online) continually pause themselves after 2-5 seconds in firefox. I understand how buffering works, and this is not buffering. The video will be loaded/buffered, and it will still insist on pausing itself after a few seconds of play. This goes for online radio, youtube, googlevideo; anything at all streaming. I also just noticed that my streaming works in Internet Explorer, so this must be an issue with just firefox. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galapagos Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 You are a very brave person! :) What version of FF are you running? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15 This one^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galapagos Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Have you reset / reinstalled firefox? ~modest Aha, I just restarted and that fixed it. Apparently I had previously DL'd but not installed an upgraded version of firefox, and due to a bad habit of keeping 30+ tabs and not wanting to restart, the upgrade was still waiting to be installed and was somehow screwing up my streaming capabilities. btw, thanks for the quick responses to both of you.

Nonetheless, I recommend FF3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
