Hi there.

I keep on experiencing this strange annoying glitch when playing video on Firefox browser.

Click image to see.

As you can see, at the bottom left corner of the video, the controls are blanked out. If I press blindly, I will eventually hit the volume control button as well as the play/pause button. Occasionally, when you hit them, you can see them but it eventually reverts back to the blank box. I have Flip4mac wmv installed.

Is there a fix for this?

some more info:
it doesn't happen to all streaming vids. i believe it's only restricted to those that use the windows media stream which activates the buggy flip4mac wmv.

on safari, the video loads fine with the volume and pause/play buttons loading up fine although it is a tad slow

regards,
steve

Firefox Glitch

are u on windows or mac?

bozeefus, are you using a Mac, maybe Intel Mac by chance? There are some obnoxious interactions between Macs, Firefox and WMV :eek:, and some help/solutions. What, if any, add-ons (extensions) or plug-ins do you have with your Firefox? Have you re-installed Flash? That creates other problems too.
