Debian Multimedia :: Firefox HTML5 Stuck At 360p
Aug 22, 2015
YouTube now automatically serves html5 content if it detects you are using firefox version 40 or above. Unfortunately as a result, all youtube videos are now served to me at 360p resolution, and there is no way to change that on the youtube web page.
Before upgrading firefox, I could watch hd videos using flash. The ability to switch to html5 was also available on [URL] .... But with the later version of firefox, the option to switch back to using flash is no longer there on that page.
When I could view both flash and html5 videos (with the older firefox), I found that html5 played back very poorly. flash, despite being a known resource hog, actually played back better (with no h/w acceleration of flash in linux, I resigned myself to expect to use faster PCs to run flash hd at full screen). Which is a great pity, as we all know flash is disappearing, but it appears I now have an even bigger issue with html5. Where's the hd video?
So how can I get a better html5 experience? My machine is an i3 with GTS250 nVidia running Stretch.
The problem of only getting 360p resolution is probably a bug in firefox. Once I can get hd, I am then uncertain if firefox could handle it.
The advice of setting 'media.mediasource.enabled' in about:config to true to get higher resolutions did not work for me.
When I do that, the [URL] .... says I have:
HTMLVideoElement, WebM VP8 and Media source Extensions support, and
H.264, MSE & H.264 and MSE & WebM VP9 unsupported.
I have hardware acceleration enabled in firefox, and have the OpenH264 Video Codec (Cisco) plugin installed.
Some more info here: [URL] ....
I could switch back to using flash by using a user-agent switcher to fool youtube I have an older firefox, but that is a poor solution.

i got the weirdest flash player problem on the planet. so, here's what the problem is. whenever i play low quality 360p flash videos in fullscreen in firefox, i get horrible performance and it eats up all the cpu resources, as compared to 1080p fullscreen video, which is smoooooooth and doesn't take up as many resources as low quality videos. why is that? i am using flash 10.2 beta 64 bit and have 64 bit ubuntu, but the problem persisted even on the stock flash player.

The version of Firefox (Iceweasel) in Sid, is 3.5.10. The latest version (of Firefox) is 3.6.6. Why is are the repos stuck so far behind? or is it Iceweasel that is stuck?

I am using pepperflash and the youtube HTML5 player on Debian Sid, on an amd64 machine. I am having a problem where the video will just black out every so often, like every minute or two, the audio still works and I need to either go forward or backward in the video to get the image back. I have noticed it on youtube videos which I suppose uses the HTML5 player not pepperflash.

I am using chrome Version 50.0.2661.75 (64-bit) running on Debian (Gnome).
I am having the following problem, since yesterday every time I want to play a video (for ex [URL]watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc) The music, logo in the video and functions work but the video doesn't play. I reinstalled Chrome, clean all the data, disable all the plugins, I tried as incognito and several other options and it doesn't work, before yesterday it was working (yesterday I updated all Debians packages).

I noticed that Firefox won't play HTML5 videos, or better said, the sites always return a Flash video instead the HTML5 version. So either I install Flash or I can't play videos.
However, with Iceweasel I don't have this problem. The sites always load with a HTML5 video instead of the Flash version. So no need to install Flash.
I checked plugins, extensions and even the user-agent string to see if there is some indication Iceweasel is using and Firefox don't, but I don't see anything special, so... how is it possible that using Iceweasel the sites load HTML5 video, but using Firefox the sites tend to use Flash?
I know that in Debian there is no need of installing Firefox, but right now I'm trying other distros and that's where I noticed about this problem. Then switched to my Debian installation and installed Firefox, and checked the same happens in Debian. Just for the record, in Windows it doesn't need Flash either.

I'm fairly new to Linux and everything and still doesn't understand a lot of things about it. But as most of you may know that ..... is probably going to switch to HTML5 (so I heard) and I can not get Firefox to work with it. It is really annoying and I have flash player working but some videos require HTML5.

I was informed that Firefox 3 supports HTML5 but Centos 5's Firefox is not supporting it. This is the screenshot of the video that failed to run on Centos 5, Firefox 3. I also tried to install the latest version of adobe flash player but the new version didn't work.

To get Chromium to work with HTML5 in uBuntu you have to first uninstall the free "open source only" package "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg" that ships with chromium (not chrome) with only supports OGG and WEBM video Code:sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-codecs-ffmpegand install the non-free proprietary version of the package named chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree which has full support for MP3 and MP4 codecs . . . Code: sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfreeAfter searching and Google ing like crazy . . . I couldn't find the solution spoon feed to me but was able to figure out the issue with mp3 and mp4 html5 playback in chromium and figured I would spoon feed it to everyone else! Enjoy.

I am trying to re-write my local web pages in HTML5. My original pages used an include file so that I had a consistent set of links on the top of each page. I used - require("link_list.php");
But this does not seem to be possible in HTML5. I am guessing that there is a way to do this, searching the web suggests object or embed, but these create a new page within my original page, which is not what I want.

I have a MySQL database running on my local server, which I currently access via laptop, desktop using HTML/PHP.I want to re-write in HTML5, I have gone through a couple of HTML5 tutorials but cannot figure out the database interface. The best match I can find is Server-Sent Events, is this the best way forward? What about writing to the database? I have found several suggestions using Web SQL database but I don't think this is suitable as my database is also accessed from Python code on the server.

I thought I'd have a go at putting back sysvinit to run the start up daemons, after I discovered that upgrading to jessie removed it and slapped on systemd.
I didn't have any problems at all with systemd, infact it was pure speed at start-up, but after some reading I thought I'd like to go back to usual start-up scripts.
What I did was to boot a Live Debian and mount and chroot into my Debian system, then I ran
Code: Select allsudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd
sudo apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils
On reboot, I hit a grub rescue prompt which says error: file not found.
Trying the methods to get that sorted out gets stuck with "unknown file system" after I use ls and ls(hd1,msdos2) -as well as other combinations - it only seems to work for a plugged in flash drive.
Then I chroot again and run update-grub and grub-install /dev/sdb but reboot still stops at grub rescue.
So I wonder, firstly, why replacing systemd mucked up grub. Then, besides re-install of systemd, how do I get a booting system?

I'm testing HTML5 for the first time, using Firefox (beta) 4.0b8 and SeaMonkey (beta) 2.1b1, and its ignoring some CSS. Specifically, I have problems with the <details> tag. (It is nested in a paragraph...I am using it to provide an in-paragraph definition in hopes it can be toggled.)
Firefox only partly supports <details>. It's not supposed to show anything except the content of <summary>, unless you click on <summary>'s content. Instead, it puts a line break before the content of <details>, splitting the paragraph in two peices (which looks silly), without the "closed/open" functionality.
So I tried using "display:inline" in my CSS, but that gets ignored. Just for fun, I also tried "display:hidden" (also ignored) and "display:none" (obeyed).
SeaMonkey doesn't doesn't do anything special with the content of <display>...but it also ignores the same CSS as Firefox.
The only thing I can do to support semantic design is apply "font-style:italic" to all <details> elements.
Granted, you might ask, "why bother using <details> at all. then?" Well, I would like to have <details> for the browsers that support it, with the "font-style:italic" to degrade the page nicely for those that don't (such as for SeaMonkey).
Does anyone know why "display:inline" and "display:hidden" get ignored?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and my Firefox is stuck at version 3.6.6. Mozilla shows the current version is 3.6.12. What's going on? 3.6.6 is over four months old and has had several security flaws fixed.

My laptop has developed an unusual issue. After I play a flash video in Firefox the last frame rendered in the video will be 'stuck' on the display even after Firefox is terminated. By stuck I mean that it is left as an artifact on the screen, where some, but not all other graphics overlap it.E.g. text in the terminal will get printed on top of the 'stuck' last video frame. This is not just a trivial problem as the stuck frame will not deteriorate as other graphics get printed on top of it, it gets repainted as if there were some process in the background that keeps refreshing it -- i.e. it does never go away, even though some other graphics are always displayed on top of it (such as text).
I have not recently made any modifications to the system such as graphics driver updates.I have tried to reinstall flash, I have tried to reinstall Firefox, I have tried to downgrade my graphics driver.I believe this issue might have something to do with hardware overlay, but I'm not sure.Some process has to tell X to repaint this graphic,I believe that perhaps it is the driver that is responsible for this as video is played by hardware overlay which is associated with the driver? This system is a standard x86 running Slackware 13.1.0 with Linux 2.6.38. It has an Nvidia 8600GT graphics card, I use the proprietary drivers from Nvidia and I have tried several versions, the problem persists.

I'm using Firefox 4.0 b7, and tried to install Mozilla binary on Debian 64 bit. Since it was built for 32 bit (x86), I needed to install also ia32-libs-gtk package. This at least enabled Firefox to start, but still it has UI problems, because it accesses current theme binary from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/ which are obviously compiled for 64 bits. This causes some UI to be degraded to generic GTK. Is there a normal way to solve this?
I my case I got a whole bunch of errors like this (using Nimbus theme, in case of Clearlooks errors are of the similar nature) Plus there are some plugins errors too, which are a second issue: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(firefox-bin:10197): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libnimbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(firefox-bin:10197): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libnimbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Firefox keeps trying to download docx files with my default text editor. Is there a way to get Firefox to just open everything using xdg-open?
There seems to be no way to get this browser to consistently open files with my chosen default applications. My mime-type settings are only obeyed sometimes. The pertinent file type isn't in the Application list of browser preferences, and there's no way to add it. The "Do this automatically..." option in the file download dialog is greyed out, so I have to go through my file system and choose the desired application every time I download a file of that type.

I am using Wheezy LXDE amd64 and I want to remove Iceweasel and install the real Firefox. Now according to this page - URL... Firefox is only there for Ubuntu and Opensuse officially by Mozilla. But since Ubuntu is based on Debian will the firefox for Ubuntu work for Debian ?Also since I am completely new to Linux I need to know how to do the following -:
How to check the dependencies given on URL.... and if necessary update them. For example what are the commands for checking if I have GTK+2.18 or higher and if necessary update that.after extracting Firefox do I need to create any symbolic links ? If so what are they ?Can I install plugins like Adobe Flash Player and update Firefox easily ?

I just installed a fresh install of Debian Wheezy to an old Pentium 4 desktop computer I found on Craigslist. Everything is mostly up and running but I've been encountering an odd issue with Firefox. Whenever I type text into either a search or text dialog on Youtube, Facebook or on Duck Duck Go the text is invisible. I can highlight the text to see what I have written, but obviously this is quite annoying not to be able to view what I am typing in these places in real-time. The strange thing is that it is only these sites that I have found, everywhere else (reddit, google, Debian forums as well) can see what I am typing. I'm using Firefox 35.0 right now.

I went to mozilla, installed the tar ball package into /opt/, then double clicked on the shell script named firefox inside the /opt/firefox folder.I go to a few sites that stream videos kind of in a way YouTube does as well. So when I go to play the file which is typically in a jwplayer. Firefox thinks I am trying to open to save the file? It attempts to play the video inside dragonplayer, I just want it to run the video. I have also uninstsalled IceWeasel, running KDE shell. x64.
