I see

And.. what about IE does that work?

Now to save the Yes reply and then my reply, and then your reply
Here we are right now

Please un-install Firefox
Maybe save all your bookmarks and all

Go to Adobe.com and re-download Flash Player
Then run CCleaner
Then restart
Then download and install Firefox
Then try the movie again

well it didn't work maybe there is a way to change I can make with about:config?
Also is there a way to reset about:config to factory defaults?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences

If you simply want to start over with the default set of Firefox preferences, remove the prefs.js file (and the user.js file, if it exists) from the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild the prefs.js file from program defaults. This restores the default values of all preferences displayed in about:config and will restore the default theme.

.

well it work this error doesn't come up at all, so I was wondering is there a website that can tell what all the entries in about:config mean, so I know which on I should change & what it will do for my experience on Firefox?

 

[kimsland]

I have updated the link above to about:config
Hmm, maybe a better page here: about:config entries

By the way to open about:config in Firefox (if about:config doesn't work) put this in the address bar:

chrome://global/content/config.xul

thanks kimsland, I will have a look at it & see the options that I could change.

Just a note from experience. I also use Firefox and I also have a couple of sites that give the script issue. By no means is it anything more than a minor annoyance. But I have not made changes in about:config. I would rather leave the setting alone if the problem is only one or two sites.

Now if it happened on ALL or MOST site, it would be different. It's very possibly that programming on CNET is the problem and not Firefox.

 

[speedy45]

well Bobbye, I am ok because I figure out how to fix it so thanks anyway.

 

[Bobbye]

Thank you for the update.

 

[kimsland]

What was the fix?

 

[speedy45]

I will let you know when I remember what I did to fix it.
