FF 17.0.11 won't run youtube films
Dave Yeo:
Currently in Hobbes incoming, eventually it'll replace the developer preview. The only differences are the branding, that setting and the changelog.

No, I was referring to html movie format, that plays in FF10, flash sucks, on office almost every week an update with the explanation that its faster, better for games and new toys, the real reason is just that they had to fix again a hole or two and replaced it with code which is a quarantee for the next ten holes.

Anyways go to about:config and check how dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is set and if set to true, change to false. I forgot this fix in the first upload.
What may work better is to use webm to watch youtube videos, not all will work and you may have to enable webm.

Hello Dave, think your first, the zip file dates 14-06-19 (ymd) on my disk, probably the developers preview. May be it is an idea to put a "D" to the end of the filename so its clear that it is a developers version. I will download latest and see if it will go better. I get more and more trouble on sites with FF10, ie in Google you can't open "apps".

Downloaded latest FF17.0.11, unzipped it over my previous FF17.0.11 (normally I make a new fresh directory and unzip it there). Didn't do anything more than that. FF direct in Dutch (ie it took over all my settings) and did go to youtube. Tried some films, first time cpu to 99.9% for a while with no action at all, but 2e and up movies direct image. There are some other behaviours. Going to an other tabpage will pause the movie. Also some unclear things. I have in settings not to warn me for updates, won't work because we've eCS right?, but I got a message on top in the tabpage with youtube that some movies won't work because I've to update, right, I've an old flash, but you know my opinion by now about flash, needs to be flushed.
