Video Coming Through?

I got a comment from someone on my website that my video page isn't
working. I've tested it in Firefox, Google Chrome, and IE various
versions and they all work on my machine.

Does it work for you?

Thanks in advance.

Get some new ones.... after all Bush left the building 2 years ago.
New sites for GOP contenders, some sites with those whacky Tea Party
people.

7-year old book-marks? Really?

:-)

PS... I have this little button on my toolbar (dock) that says: Time
Machine which restores my machine back as far as Sept 2010, and all
points in between then and now. A nice feature. And Firewire 800 makes
restoration very fast too... for those times when I install something
that I wish I hadn't.

Firefox 3.6.15 on Win 7 works fine - I do use NoScript, so had to
"temporarily allow all" a couple of times before Java Script kicked in,
but I'm used to doing that, so no problem.

It would if you'd been using it for seven years or for one day if you'd
installed it prior to the browser upgrade.

I use it to sync my bookmarks between my desktop and laptop. A good
sync/backup plugin for your address book is synckolab.

Of the bookmarks or FF?

If you're running certain versions of Windows (most of Windows 7 editions),
there's a Previous Version feature that will let you retrieve random
versions of the file. Right click on the file and select "Retrieve
Previous Versions" and maybe you'll get lucky and get most of the bookmarks
back.

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize that some surf with Java
disabled. As Robert mentioned, Java was probably the probled.

I added some code that will provide a red notice when it is disabled
using <no script>

Thanks again!

*DOESN'T* work if you don't have JavaScript enabled.

*NO*HINT* that you need JavaScript, for those who _do_ have it disabled.

Put the space where the video goes in a named DIV, with _HTML_text_ that
says JavaScript is required, then have some 'on page load' JavaScript that
over-writes the content of that DIV with the video stuff.

Yep, there is an identical add-on for FireFox. Be careful though, it
will also open any and all sqlite dbs used elsewhere on your system. You
could really screw the pooch if not very very careful and always backup
and set restore points before play. Also note that in some situations
you may need to elevate user privileges for access to certain files,
depending upon your system configuration.

Good luck,

I've never had more than a couple GOP sites but I'm adding Tea Party
info all the time now.

I never used to have a problem with Mozilla. The bookmarks were stored
in a nice little HTML file and I could edit it anywhere. Now, it's
apparently in SQLite format and I'll have to figure it out.

Larry,

Grab a copy of this free extension and you should be good to go...

<http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe.html>

You can change the defaults to save all anywhere you wish and still
readable with a simple text editor, also will do routine backups
automagically so, like me, if memory has been an issue it won't be any
longer.<g>

Good luck,

Found it.

I only wish I had a restore point before grabbing that beta, damnit.
Luckily, I had a large percentage of the old database, but I'll be
sure to save the bookmarks more often in the future.

Complacency sucks, mon.

I realized true horror when I found that I hadn't done a bookmark
backup since '07. That won't happen again.

I eschew the built-in bookmarks, and instead create a simple HTML page
(accessed with file: URI) to which I add any interesting bookmarks.

No problem since beta10, the RC just came out and I upgraded to that,
quite happy with it.

Works in FF 3.6.15, Brian.


>Works here, Firefox 4beta12

I tried the beta for a few days and found my bookmarks missing. It ate
my frackin' BOOKMARKS and PASSWORDS! I reverted to a freshly
downloaded 3.6.15 and it has problems. I'm doubly pissed at the
Mozilla team right now.
