  1. I don't really remember cause I didnt really quite pay attention to it. So i'm not 100% sure. I would always restart firefox every couple days on average though. I'm very depressed ...i tried that UOC+Enforce patch mentioned and ...no, still the same. Still doesnt last very long until scrolling is no longer 100% smooth (including watching youtube videos, until the smoothness starts skipping/stuttering) The 120 FPS i thought really was going to work, when i turned on the "draw fps" thing to monitor it, but it just gradually drops after awhile ..even at like 80 or 90-something...the smoothness is no longer happening. That UOC thing also breaks slack, ..it will never accept the Firefox 60 user agent i have to use to get past the "browser no longer supported" screen. I was guessing it was somethiing with all the dozens of "network.xxx" lines i saw in the UOC file. I don't know. Also youtube gets weird looking in Full Screen, like it doesnt fill the whole screen anymore, and I can see parts of the video images of "related videos" on the side for example. 1 test I did earlier was...open firefox, just only 1 active tab, nothing else. There's no animations or scripts or anything like that going. Everything is just fine at first, so i minimize firefox and come back like 20 minutes later. Never touched the computer or anything, bring back up firefox and....no more 100% smoothness (youtube watching as well) It just doesnt make sense. ...i give up. i have to live with this then. *cry* Chrome doesnt ever have these problems. But probably because of how every tab is an actual seperate chrome.exe, and closing said tab will terminate that particular instance of the chrome process. (while the firefox multiprocess mode does not) - But i get a yellow label for youtube saying there going to get rid of it soon (as this topic was originally about) ..also slack doesnt work with Chrome there, for some reason has messed up page rendering problems that make it almost impossible to see anything on the screen except the options/info at the top of the screen, firefox is fine though.
  2. Thats the last possible thing i was thinking about, for the graphics hardware. I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop, which is Intel GM 945 Graphics. I get errors and/or "blocked/blacklisted" in the troubleshooting info page. https://i.imgur.com/jrLTZ25.png https://i.imgur.com/tNJNHih.png All the "force enables" with everything dont help as i mentioned earlier, to get past those errors or blocks. Is that why the opengl, webgl, and use hardware acceleration all dont do a thing ?? And according to this page, the only supported version not blocked is "4926" -- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#Intel_cards And this page ...the last possible update that was ever published for this model was 4814 - https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=984x8&oscode=ww1&productcode=latitude-d620#otherversion So it wont even make a difference if i try to install that since I would of needed 4926 i guess, which is from Intel 945G ...not GM ..(a different motherboard type) So i'm seriously screwed then huh ??
  3. hrm dang. well it doesnt matter wether i use sandboxie or not, that's defintely not it. I've still been spending hours nonstop and still havent had any luck. More things i've tried from all the endless threads i've looked at from google search: webgl.disabled, gfx.webrender.force-disabled (okay this one didnt exist in about config, so i added it manually to test), layers.prefer-opengl, webgl.disable-angle, gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.force-enabled Nothing period keeps firefox smooth at all times beyond the first few minutes, until having to restart whole browser. I've made purely zero progress still.
  4. Hmm i see. Well i did notice that apparently the plugin-container only shows up on videos that use the "av1" codec like my video "8-way scrolling test" or other people's videos. Does not show up on "vp9" or others. That's why it seems some videos worked, and others not. And gosh, wow I had no idea that it was now soley free. I've just been currently now using firefox normally without sandboxie at the momment since then. I seriously don't believe i would get a virus or anything bad like that anytime in the near-future. So now at the momment i'm just extremely annoyed, fustrated, and getting headache's about this "smooth scrolling" issue i explained above. Again, it's perfectly butter-smooth at first opening firefox ...but shortly after wont be as much. It's driving me insane that I cant find out how to keep any regular webpage scrolling/youtube smooth permenately, instead of ... only for a short period of time, until next time i close/restart browser. Sorry if i de-railed this topic too much. Didnt mean to on purpose.
  5. Oh i never thought to try that before, but uhh.. dang. It says it's only for registered version. I'm not going to pay money to use a registered sandbox just for this one single little thing. :| Well something else has been bothering the hell out of me though since upgrading to the firefox 52.9 and I dont know if it was present in 52.0 before cause i didnt pay attention much to such detail but.. scrolling webpages, and watching youtube videos will eventually not be completely "smooth", after awhile. What i mean is, for example, i'll track this by enabling "layers.acceleration.draw-fps". Middle-click with mouse to scroll pages up and down, and it'll be 60 FPS and perfectly smooth at first, same with youtube/anything. But after awhile everything will start be choppy. (50-58 FPS) ..it's certainly annoying as hell with youtube. Even if i never opened any other tabs or pages, just... at some point later it when it starts happening. I've seriously searched through dozens and dozens of sites, reddit dicussion threads, etc for hours and hours, and tried everything possible. like disable hardware acceleration, enable, force-enable, "layout.frame_rate.precise" to true/false (currently leaving on true), "layout.frame_rate" to 60 instead of -1, trying a new firefox profile, ..deleting places.sqlite and starting with a fresh copy -- going back to "not" using multiprocess mode...just everything. nothing ever makes a difference. ONLY if i completely close firefox and reopen, it'll be back to normal and smooth... but not for long. I'm really seriously fustrated yet again, sorry to say.
  6. Well sandboxie is a program that runs whatever you chose in a sandbox enviorment so that it doesnt ever touch or modify anything on your hard drive. And especially in case of viruses/malware, they wont be able to cause harm to your computer if they are inside of that sandbox. I use it just to be safe. I've never had a problem for years anyway, since I have "noscript" with firefox. but "better safe, then sorry" I think the phrase goes ? Yea i cant understand or figure out why the plugin-container doesnt ever want to show with it...so then i went ahead and installed the 52.9.1 in sandboxie, but that still doesnt make it happen apparently. Only if i run firefox normally without sandboxie's supervision. I guess i'll have to stick to that for the time being. And yes, im so thankful, slack works. I was just afraid because, once every couple days, i guess the page reloads itself, going back to "your browser is not supported" ..so i have to manually do that Firefox 60 + windows 7 user agent again. And it did show that page a few times already since trying out 52.9 ...like it's constantly trying to get rid of me or something, heh. thankfully that user agent spoof still works. Now i went ahead and read the whole entire thread for "enable multiprocess for firefox 52" ..i tried it out once, just kept the regular default "1" extra process setting. I was curious. Not sure yet if i "feel" improvements with youtube, live.fc2.com streams, etc. I watch streams alot on live fc2, which also seems to only work with the plugin-container
  7. To Dave-H or anyone else. Okay, well i've spent countless hours since then with literally next to no sleep trying to look up this situation. I've googled and read through dozens of sites/forums, even toggled other settings on/off not mentioned in the 1st post of the "enable h264 etc etc" post here. I've tried everything i can possibly ever think of and haven't figured out... until now..sort of. First, i always use firefox in a program called "sandboxie" - I have the last supported version of sandboxie - 5.22 -- the changelog page said something about fixing h264 with firefox + sandboxie since 5.20. Okay .. But that didn't help. So then i tried installing firefox 52.0 seperately to the computer ("not" sandbox" ..follow all the directions again, etc. And to my surprise, my youtube videos now load. After closer insepection, i think i FINALLY found out what exactly this is. The "plugin-container.exe" apparently is required for youtube to work now. I didnt know that. I've heard and read nothing bad purely bad things about plugin-container.exe and how it should be disabled to run things more smoothly. I confirmed by just simply deleting it from the program files folder, reload firefox, and my youtube videos, twitter videos/gifs, mp4 test sites, they all go back to that spinning circle animation forever ...i un-delete the plugin-container.exe ...try again, and now youtube and everything works. But...it wont ever show up in sandboxie for some reason and i have no idea why. I then finally installed the firefox 52.9.1 you said, "sandboxed" but still didnt help. I cant figure out how to get the plugin-container.exe to activate. There's no error messages or any such thing by firefox or sandboxie. I dont know what to do next. I honestly perfer to use sandboxie because it's safer than without, "just in case". I apoligize for my horribly long posts. I hope this aint too much for you guys.
  8. dang. Well, im on regular 52.0 - I didnt go to 52.9 because I'm afraid it may completely kill the online web version of "slack" for me which I need. (i always have to use a firefox 60 user agent for that to load, and it works like only 75% of the time, sometimes have to refresh several times with the FF 60 user agent, for it to load) So i dont currently use 52.9. Is that it, for youtube ?? I'll say by the way, i did follow all the instructions very carefully on this page a long time ago: I did everything right, but there's only 1 single value i currently have disabled that does not ever seem to work properly. Which is "media.gmp.decoder.enabled" If i set that to true, then youtube videos will try to load, but always stay in that spinning circle animation forever. Seriously. Doesnt matter if i click the seek bar a thousand times to any specific time on a video, it'll never get out of that loading animation, and it also completely breaks the "troubleshooting information" screen on firefox. for some reason all boxes won't be populated at all, until i set it to "disabled". I dont know what's up with that. :(
  9. Well i did notice some of my videos are okay, but others not like the oldest one -- 8 Way Scrolling Test on Megaman 3 - 2,920 views - 11 years ago -- or my most recent one from 2018 - "Rockman 2 Slide and Charge" I have a greasemonkey script that automatically adds a "?disable_polymer=1" to end of all youtube links, cause that regular screen format they use looks terrible and no images load, etc. That cant be it though, cause i've had that there for at least 2 years already. (i temporarily turned off the greasemonkey script, but that didnt make a difference, still "no format recognized blah blah". here's a screenshot of the plugins screen
  10. This is really starting to make me depressed. I use Firefox 52, and I don't get any yellow bar about unsupported browser or anything, and the actual "supported browsers" page even says "your up to date, enjoy youtube!" -- But all of a sudden, my own videos wont even load now from as far back as 2009. :( The video player screen says "your browser dont support html5" blah blah. I never used any special codecs or anything like that for my videos. Why would they stop working "now" ? Is it cause of that polymer thing you guys were discussing ?? https://www.youtube.com/user/kujakiller/videos This is my page. And for the record, i watch this guy's videos everyday -- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAC65YxT-jEDYg0psBcAoOw/videos and only "now" suddenly the video player wont load cause of that stupid annoying "dont recognize formats, html5" ..but i was just able to watch everything literally yesterday. :( I tried to change the user agent to firefox 60 but that didnt help.
  11. Ah i see. Okay, i wont do it then, glad I asked cause i really didnt know. And no i havent done anything important or installed anything recently. I only ever use chrome to sometimes watch youtube videos, discord (web browser type cause the actual program is only for windows 7), and watching streams on "live.fc2.com" since firefox 52 cant play streams from there. I have the last chrome version avaiable for win XP i think ?? since it always says "this computer will no longer receive updates" - Version 49.0.2623.112 These BSOD's happened after i was done watching a youtube video for example, closed the tab -- then click the X in the top right to close chrome, and then instantly get the BSOD - It's only happened 2 times ever so far. (the instant i closed chrome, each time) - The 1st time by the way also said "kmixer.sys" which is apparently related to Windows audio mixing.
  12. Hello, I want to ask about a specific windows update before i install it. First let me explain. I recently gotten a couple blue screen of death's whenever closing out of the Chrome Browser. I've researched on google for many many hours, looked through many forums and sites. The BSOD i get is about win32k.sys -- I've downloaded "windbg" tool to look at the crash dump details, and it specifically states "chrome.exe" as the process that causes it. I'm not going to try and make this way too long to read, but after hours of research, there's supposedly a windows update that might possibly work. It's " Update for Windows XP KB959252 " - All the official microsoft links i found to this are either "404 page not found" or "file not found" pages. This page listed the kb959252 about chrome and win32k.sys, but links to a microsoft page that isnt avaiable anymore. https://www.ruggieroav.com/Microsoft_Updates_and_Fixes Eventually i found it from this website, finally: http://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=9650 I had to go to wayback machine to view a microsoft page that tells what files are modified in this update. And the win32k.sys file had a timestamp of 2008 But the win32k.sys file on my computer currently says: Version 5.1.2600.6514 - Time 2/6/2014 7:01 PM Is it safe to apply this update ?? I was worried that it might accidently rollback the version and time to this 2008 version. I just want to be extra sure before i install this update to see if it resolves the BSOD's from chrome. Just hope it doesnt make the file an older version if that makes sense.
  13. Hello, i saw this topic via google searching about this recent phenomonom, and i signed up to commet here, this is the only place with an "active" dicussion right now. I've been using AIM 5.5.3595 all the time most of my life, and i absolutely refuse to use any "higher" version ...and i was able to use it just fine until this really stupid "going away" message. It seems i was able to continue using it just fine no problem beyond March 15 ....until today March 23. I have a couple people who still use AIM once in awhile that i talk to But now i cant because of this stupid crap...i dont want to use 7.x ever. I had my AIM 5.5.3595 custom hacked as "dead aim" which included logging and other features like removing all the ads from the window and so on. (from 2004 i think) ..i thought maybe my modified "dead aim" is what kept my past the march 15 deadline.... but i guess not now. If anyone out there in the hacking world is able to come up with a solution to continuing using 5.x ...please i would be eternally grateful, i'm even willing to pay money if possible. (if that statement is against forum rules, i sincerely apoligize) ...i dont want to give up my AIM 5. *edit* i thought i could make it work by using the more recent connection server that "ksc.aol.com + port 80" in connection settings rather than the login.oscar ...but no I will check this thread at least once a day.. hoping for any update on this situation..
