Title: Firefox freeze
Post by: tehidyman on Jul 03, 2013, 11:06:28
Wen I try to watch the following clip on the BBC website in Firefox (Version 22.0) it freezes after 1 min 23 sec.  It happens on two Win 7 machines and on an XP machine -  all Firefox and always at the same point.  However it runs perfectly-and well worth the watch- on Internet Explorer. It was the same yesterday so assume it is me and not them.  ??? Anyone else having same problem on Firefox?

I'm using Chrome so perhaps it's a Firefox issue.  I suppose the clue was in the header.   :red:  ;D

Looks like it is a FF problem, Clive, it works fine on my IPad.

Fine for me still, I'm surprised as for a couple of hours have been having strange problems especially here!

Looks like it's being caused by a FF addon, I've just tried it on another PC with the same version of FF and only a couple of Addons installed and it works OK. :)

I disabled all my Add-ons and the video worked OK. Enabled each add-on in turn until I found the one which caused the problem viz Adblock plus 2.3.2 :)
