    I can't watch videos on my firefox browser
    « on: November 01, 2008, 08:34:29 AM »
     Hi ..

      Before , I was able to watch videos on my Firefox browser , now I'm no longer able to do that .  I reinstalled adobe flash and  shockwave flash again , still can't watch videos, but i noticed that
      adobe flash doesn't appear in the plugins box , I don't know what  the problem is , Is it the conflict between the applications , I have internet download manager installed recently.
    by the way  I use window xp SP2.

    If this help , here is a list of the plugins :
     1.   adobe acrobat
     2.  Authorware web player
     3. Java platform SE 6
     4. Microsoft office
     5. Real player.
    6 . shockwave flash

    When you go to Youube, does it ask for any plugins?

    Also, do you have Jave Platform SE 6 U7?

         when I go to youtube , I can't play the videos there , when I click on one , it doesn't play , but I was  not asked for a plugin.

       and I have only one  JAVA plugin called :
            JAVA (tm) platform SE 6-JAVA plug-in 1.6.0 for Netscape Navigator( DLL helper )

      I would look here first:
      http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,61227.0.html

      An then do this:
      Download and Install
      CCleaner.
      (Without Yahoo Toolbar: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim)

      When it is installed, run it and make sure the following checkboxes are checked.
      Internet Explorer --> Temporary Files
      Internet Explorer --> Cookies (optional)
      Mozilla Firefox --> Internet Cache
      Mozilla Firefox --> Cookies (optional)
      System --> Temporary Files
      System --> Empty Recycling Bin (optional but recommended if low on disk space)
      You can check whatever else you want but you should know that whatever you check will be unrecoverable.
      When you are done, Run the Cleaner.

            This may (?) be your problem: http://www.sun.com/sales/its/countries/Embargoed.html

            POLICY
            Unless authorized by the U.S. Government, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Sun) prohibits export and reexport of Sun hardware, software, services, and technology to destinations subject to U.S. embargoes or trade sanctions.

            Government policy is to deny requests for such authorization in almost all cases.

            As of September 2006, the following countries are subject to U.S. embargo or restrictive trade sanctions:


            Cuba
            Iran
            Iraq*
            North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)
            Sudan
            Syria

            This list is subject to change. For the most current information on U.S. embargoed and sanctioned countries, see the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and Treasury Department regulations.

            *The comprehensive embargo on Iraq has been lifted. However, export licenses continue to be required for certain Sun products.

            STATUS OF LIBYA: Effective August 31, 2006, Libya has been removed from the US list of Embargoed Countries. Libya is now a Tier 3 Country for hardware control purposes, and is in Country Group D:1 (Proscribed) relevant to technical data. Note: An export license continues to be required to order, buy, remove, use, sell, loan, transfer, or otherwise service items that may have been unlawfully exported or reexported to Libya prior to the lifting of the embargo. The U.S. Department of Commerce will review applications for such activity on a case-by-case basis and apply favorable consideration for civil end-uses.
