So I'll be watching a video, then decide to open a new tab. For some reason my video refreshes to the start of the video when I open a new tab. The video is on a separate tab then the new tab btw, just in case you thought I opened the video on the new tab. I updated my Adobe Flash Player + Firefox, and it still does this to me.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
  3. Search browser.startup.homepage right click the first result and hit reset.

I think it's already fixed, since it's not causing me problems atm. I'll keep check on it for the next day also. Thanks for the help =)

It still does this sometimes, like 1/20 times, plus most of the time I was testing it out. It's on youtube videos, so I'm not worrying much about that, because youtube has a bunch of bugs. I might just deal with this lol.
