I would uninstall Adobe flash player and its plug-ins and then install the latest version.

In Firefox, right click on the Adblock icon. That will give several options.

Try the various ‘disable’ choices to see if any of them help.

I run about 4 different browsers for various reasons. Some videos may run smoothly on one and glitch out completely on another.

I stopped upgrading Windows 7, Java, Adobe Flash/PDF and several other programs, because the upgrades created more problems than they fixed.

I just recently started using Palemoon 32-bit, because it allowed most of my Firefox extensions to run. When I upgraded from v.24 to v.25, Palemoon listed several of my extensions as incompatible. The extensions are too useful to dump, so I am stuck Palemoon v.24. Ironically, broken extensions were the reason I quit upgrading Firefox and eventually went to Palemoon.

Just loaded it and now it won’t let me get to my email account - says something about ERROR: Domain mapping etc etc. Now I can’t even erase it and go back to my regular FireFox

So it’s a fight between your desire to not see ads and the vendors desire for you to see ads. The vendor probably penalizes people who block ads.

recently I had to update the display drive on a Windows 7 laptop because it was glitching strangely.

What you’re saying is unclear. What was installed and be uninstalled — not “erased”.Do you not know how to uninstall a program?

I clicked on the link you provided and had Waterfox installed over my Firefox. I have a slow connection and thought that using it would make my computer be faster on the internet. Everything looks the same as Firefox but when I click on my email account it said the domain can’t be used - it’s my primary email account and I need it. When I look in installed programs it just shows Mozilla and not Waterfox.

Use NoScript instead of Adblock.

Thanks - dad came over and got it going for me. My fault for loading something without first checking it out. Seems okay now.

Lol...I go there sometimes. "Fbomb the police". They are slow. I use Veehd and Firefox with the Dowmloadhelper add on to get movies.

Blame it on global warming, and submit a grant application to study the problem.

Can you isolate it to just Flash videos or HTML5 video? If it’s Flash right click on the video and go into settings and increase allowed cache size. If that doesn’t help right click again on the video and disable hardware acceleration.

NoScript doesn’t stop the ads without stopping the video on Veetle. Will try other video sources to see the effect.

You can tell NoScript not to block content from certain websites.

Yep. I allowed Noscript to allow Veetle and block everything else...but it brings the ads without adblock.
