That is a problem with the Flash plugin.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
more options

Same problem persist.

I followed your instruction,

1. I don't have real player and also the plugin. 2. I added "ProtectedMode=0" in mms.cfg 3. I already disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin

video's are playing fine in flash player and youtube.

But firefox crashes constantly and also while opening Help->Troubleshoot information

more options

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

more options

I have already disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available"

still problem exist
