Firefox not playing videos

Generally I save videos to watch them but some sites insist on watching videos in a webpage. For some reason my firefox can't play them. It says its missing a plugin. When I click to download it it says it can't find one. So what plugin am I missing? It wont play any media in a window I don't think. I am using media player classic and real alternatives for quicktime and real.

Funny. I don't feel like switching to a new browser just as I am getting used to this piece of shit. Granted its better then IE but its got a gay furry name.

You admit Furryfox is shit for faggots, so why not switch to the only real choice?

so why not switch to the only real choice?
You mean Konq?

You're missing some plugins, browse FF's plugins for quicktime, imbedded WMP, and other plugins that might be the problem. I've had this problem with WMP imbedded into sites and downloaded some plugins and it works.

As for the trolls, they're just mad they can't fix a simple problem so they find the easiest way out and switch from a good browser to a suckass one. ;o

He meant Safari.

Yes because switching from a browser that can use 1GB+ of RAM to itself, relies on the use of insecure plugins for ANY functionality and has a bunch of furryfag followers, to a squck, stable, reliable browser with less memory usage and all the functionality you need (including IRC, mail and torrent) in one package? That's definately a bad choice.

Fucking signed.

22,232 K at the moment.

You fucking failed.

>>12 with one window open, right?

Just "Save Page As" and save the movie to your hard drive.

Ok so I went to the firefox site and went to plugins and when I click the name of the plugin in it takes me to their site. I don't want to download the fucking programs I just want a plugin. Why else would I be using alternatives. I don't need spyware and crappy programs using up my resources.

Step 1: Go to /f/
Step 2: Open every flash file in a seperate tab
Step 3: Report memory usage.

Mine with Opera is 44MB.

don't be a fucktard

IE and Opera save everything to the hard disk in temporary folders. This is awesome for low-end machines that don't have enough ram or fast enough ram, and a waste of resauces on a modern system.

Firefox is memory-intensive but doesn't write shit to the hard disk. Everything it loads resides in RAM unless you choose to save it. It's faster on a fast system, and practically unuseable on a low-end system.

Use the right tool for the right job. If you're using Firefox on your 486 you're driving a nail with a circular saw.

>>17
FF doesn't have a disk cache? LOL.

>>17
It's actually possible to set Firefox to use no RAM for the cache, and only use a disk based cache.

>>19
but not by default

>>20
Why the crap should it be on by default?

>>21
NO U

>>17
Um...you can set Opera not to use a disk cache, also.
Btw, it's been proven that Opera is the fastest browser out of the big three, by a good margin.

To all the people who keep mentioning Opera: Please cease. If you like Opera, please use it without comparing it to Firefox. Opera is the pretty sports car that works only on the highways. Firefox is the burro that can take you anywhere you want to go. The two products are different. You are comparing apples to oranges, despite what you may think. Opera, despite being years older than Firefox, still cannot render thousands of sites worth a damn. It even borks Yahoo! Mail badly, something even Konqueror doesn't do. Opera still cannot work with the vast majority of online bank websites, making it effectively useless to me. Get a grip, people. If you like Firefox, quit moaning about it. The same people who moan are the same people who are not volunteering to write code or documentation, or test bugs out for Bugzilla. If you complain, be prepared to act on those complaints in a positive way. If you want a better Firefox, help make it better.

>>24
Um...logged into yahoo mail at the moment with Opera. Also use both my banks online banking services on a regular basis. What the fuck are you talking about?
Protip: Check the Acid2 test, and watch as Opera gets a MUCH better result than Firefox. Why? Better rendering engine, far more compliant to standards.

Btw, http://www.firefoxmyths.com

I rarely encounter sites that don't work in Opera anymore. Yahoo Mail works just fine, AFAICT. And my banking site works as well (IIRC they even have a special forum where you can post broken banking sites).

Yahoo Mail works just fine

Ditto here. I've been using Opera on Yahoo Mail since ~2000, and have only had problems during the transition from the old to new interface, which they've long since repaired.

All Furryfox fags have to fall back on is "OMG THOUSANDS OF SITES DONT WORK IN OPERAH LOL LOL" and then you ask "which ones?" and they never seem to be able to reply..

>>28
How would we, we don't use crappy closed-source evil capitalist browsers. Only people that take it up the ass from Bill Gates do so.

>>29
Do you even look at a programme source code or contribute to it in anyway? Like 90% of user bases don't. If you don't, how does it make a difference between using a close-source programme or a open-source one, DESPITE the close-source programme being far superior in all aspects?

>>29 was parody.

The problem is that a lot of people disagree with your "far superior" description.  I for one don't think Opera and IE are superior.  I find Opera to be a tiny bit faster than my current firefox.  The reason I don't use Opera even though I admit it is slightly faster is that the slight speed increase is not worth the loss of hundreds of awesome extensions to choose from.  not to mention that only recently did opera become ad free.  As for IE, I think we can all agree that it currently lacks features, lacks security, and just lacks overall as a browser.

>>30
Yes, of course I do.

>>32
Actually, IE7 is FAR superior to Furryfux

>>34
Comedy gold.

I kid.

>>34
hahaha oh wow

IE7 = IE6 + a couple of wizards and temporary security fixes + marketing

>>36
Furryfux = Shitty rendering engine + unsecured gimmicky plugins + shitty UI + fanatical zealot users.

Hey, credit where credit is due. The rendering engine in FF isn't shitty. Oh, if only IE had an engine like that!

Everything else is true though.

>>38
It's an utter failure compared to Opera. It's slow, unstable and inaccurate. Opera has never screwed up a page for me; I've seen Furryfux do it quite regularly on friends PC's.

Opera is better than Firefox the way Macs are better than PCs: really not, but the userbase are fanatics.

So it's because Opera is new, and haven't gotten any attention yet. (NOT! Started in 1994, still has a fucking small userbase! Firefox built up a 25% share in about two/three years. So a tenth of the time, but 10 times the userbase (because it sux lol!))

So WHY aren't people using Opera, when it's so much better? Because users are lazy by default! The only ones who actually manage to put alternative software to public use are Open Source Zealots, and with Opera being closed source: TRASH CAN!

So to you Opera promoters. Just sit there, look smug and stfu will you? I'll happily continue using FF for now.
