SOLVED FIX: Video on loading/ streaming/ playing on facebook (fB) when browsing on only Mozilla Firefox

Hey guys!

So I had a problem that was really bugging me lately! My Mozilla Firefox just couldn't play any video from Facebook (fB) ! It worked on youtube and other sites but the problem just persisted on only Facebook!

I checked out my Google Chrome and the video worked fine (because Chrome has an in-built flash plug in), I could easily stream through Facebook videos using my Google Chrome browser but it didn't work on my Mozilla Firefox browser! Fed up and frustrated, I continuously browse the net for days after days and still couldn't find any single effective solution to solve and permanently fix this nagging problem (imagine the title "the most amazingly cute cat in the world" video appears on my news feed and I cant even play it! Oh, the torment!). I had tried to cleanly uninstall and reinstall my Mozilla Firefox, did the same thing with my Real Player and also my Flash player (Shockwave and Adobe) but the issue stubbornly persisted!

So I Googled:
Flash player not working on facebook
Mozilla Firefox not playing facebook videos 
Videos not loading on facebook
Cannot adjust load space on flash settings on facebook 
My fb videos dont load/ work! 
fb vidoes now streaming, black black screen appears 
problems/ issues with flash, black screen on facebook for videos
Please help me God!!!, my flash is not working on facebook!


and no good effective answer appeared...

After days dragging to weeks trying to fix this damn thing....This fix FINALLY worked for me!!
Heres the article below with effective steps

------------

"I don't have Win7 but should not matter which windows you have.  Location and values for this *STUPID* top secret config file I am about to refer to should be the same for any version Windows.

In fact, after reviewing your issue again, you might simply be victum of corrupted 'settings.sol' file.  If that is the case you might try using only the first 2 steps in my hack instructions.  After you complete step #2, just delete the 'settings.sol' file, restart your browser, go run a Flash video and Flash Player will see the config file is missing so it will create a nice clean virgin copy from scratch.  Can't hurt to try.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4566499#4566499

Now what I was about to suggest at first, if you have a slight understanding of hex code and want make permanent adjustment to the default setting then try following my hack, step 1 all the way through to step #6.  Working really great for me.  Not totally hating the app and cursing the programmer every time I use it now."

This was the key word:

How to resolve problems with Flash Player Settings; either unable to change anything on the Settings panel, or new settings won't save:

Follow these steps carefully

1. Close all browser windows
2. Open Windows Explorer
3. In the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
4. Delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
5. In the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
6. Delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there\

Vol-la-la-la-la! Facebook videos starts playing again! Problem finally effectively solved!!! I can now watch my "amazing drum solos" and "TED talks" and sleep soundly again!

I am re-posting and sharing this to save the trouble and solve the problems of the millions who are also as fed-up and frustrated about this issue too! Finding this solution was like a needle in a haystack!  I hope this Penangnite here has helped you out :)

thanks a million to the source, you da bestest:

RE: Monster Warlord: How to Combine Best Method Best Analysis

Dear all,

I'm going to break away to post something unrelated to Penang for a while. The topic of this posting is also something dear to my heart...which is gaming! OK, to be more specific - Mobile Phone App Gaming!

Haha, were you surprised?

Yes, most young people are involved in committing into a "long term" relationship with a mobile game app and while the clash of titans, candy crush, flappy bird (well not so famous anymore I guess..) or boom beach is trending right now, my poison (or you could say my "delight" would be Monster Warlord.
And while I constant search for the best monster combine methods online (yes, the game requires you to combine monsters that you have caught from various quest) I have decided to have a copy here for my  reference (and maybe yours too)!

Are you read for some mobile app game cheat codes? 
So here it is....tada!

---------------------

How to Combine Method Best Analysis| Monster Warlord

Be able to always have a good combination is the key to improve your Monster Warlords attack power and overall deck strength. In this guide and analysis, we will go through how the attack power can be boosted from proper combines and strategies. By utilizing the strategies, or even simply the best practice of combination, you will save many wasted monsters and further your power. Please check out the rest of our mobile game guides.

Please share this analysis with your friends if you have found it helpful! May you become the strongest in Monster Warlord. I have placed the summary at the beginning of this page. Please feel free to go through our thought process to see how we have derived at the following monster combination strategy.

Summary: Optimized Combination Methods

Dark = Fire + Water
Fire = Air + Holy
Water = Water + Earth (Not Recommended)
Earth = Earth + Earth
Holy = Holy + Holy
Air = Air + Earth

Combine Theory and Base of Analysis

For most players in the game, if you are reading this guide you have probably noticed that attack is usually more important than DEF in the game. For this reason, the base of the Monster Warlord theory is based on the Attack value only.
Base rules of combine:
When you succeed in combining, you will get a new monster based on the combine chart.
When you fail in combining, you will get a random
Different elemental monsters will have difference in Attack based on the Notes: Base Elemental Table.
This means that if you are using gems to achieve better combine chance, you should always use the best single combine recommendation to boost your attack.

How this Analysis is Calculated

All calculation is based on the following examples:
Overall Monster Warlord Combination Chart
Example 1:
Fire has 16 base attack
Fire = Fire + Fire => Higher tier Fire has a attack of 16*3 = 48. The two lower ranked fire has a attack of 32.
48 divided by 32 = 150% = 50% additional attack after successful combining.
Example 2:
Dark = Fire + Water
Successful Dark has 66 Attack. The water and fire is 16+11 attack for a total of 27.
66 divided by 27 = 144% additional attack after successful combining.

Failure Consideration

To calculate the numbers correctly, we have to take failure into consideration too. When you fail at a combine, you will receive a random element monster of the same rank. This means that you may lose attack the majority of the time. We will provide an recommendation on how to make the most out of your failures.
The average of all the stats is 14.33. We will use this as a base for failures.
For example, when Fire + Fire fails. We will jump from 16+16= 32 to 14.33 which is only 44% of original attack.

Best Summary of Different Combinations

Based on the chart in later section, you will find that the best single combination is as followed. If you are thinking about using gem to combine them.
Fire = Fire + Earth
Water = Water + Earth
Air = Water + Holy
Earth = Earth + Earth
Dark = Fire + Water
Holy = Holy + Holy

Best Method to Obtain Dark Monsters
Because of the fact that Dark monsters are you ultimate goal in the game. You should never use your dark monsters to combine with any other monsters. When you take out the weaker combos, you will be left with the following combinations. You should never use any other combinations than the ones below.
The difference is that you do not put your stronger elements at risk. The following guidelines are derived from the combos.
1. Fire and Water should always be used for a chance for Dark Monster.
2. Never use Fire and Water in any other potential combines.
3. Use Air with Holy often to create Fire as much as you can.
4. Holy + Holy is a good combo given it’s a almost no loss situation. You will most likely gain attack for fail. The only time that you’ll get loss is if you get failed earth.

Optimize Combine Cheat sheet
Dark = Fire + Water
Fire = Air + Holy
Water = Water + Earth (Not Recommended)
Earth = Earth + Earth
Holy = Holy + Holy
Air = Air + Earth

Overall Monster Warlord Combination Chart

The success and failure power different is noted here. For example: 150%-44% is success and power difference. The failure is based on the average of all possible stats is 14.33.
Please note that the chart on this table is based upon that next rank is typically about 3 times stronger. Depending on the rank, the analysis percentage may be off.

The way to read this power calculation is that higher number = good. Lower number = bad.
(Edit: I have even added in the color code to the type! XD)

Fire = Fire + Fire: 150%-44%
Fire = Fire + Earth: 185%-55%
Fire = Air + Holy: 178%-53%
Fire = Dark + Water: 145%-43%

Water = Water + Water: 150%-65%
Water = Water + Earth: 157%-68%
Water = Fire + Air: 94%-41%
Water = Dark + Holy: 110%-48%

Air = Air + Air: 150%-37%
Air = Air + Earth: 197%-49%
Air = Water + Holy: 300%-75%

Earth = Earth + Earth: 150%-72%
Earth = Fire + Holy: 125%-60%
Earth = Air + Dark: 73%-35%

Dark = Dark + Dark: 150%-32%
Dark = Dark + Earth: 206%-45%
Dark = Fire + Water: 244%-53%

Holy = Holy + Holy: 150%-90%
Holy = Holy + Earth: 133%-80%
Holy = Fire + Dark: 63%-38%
Holy = Water + Air: 80%-48%

Base Elemental Stats

Fire: 16 Attack, 12 Defense, 28 Total
Water: 11 Attack, 18 Defense, 29 Total
Air: 19 Attack, 10 Defense, 29 Total
Earth: 10 Attack, 21 Defense, 31 Total
Dark: 22 Attack, 9 Defense, 31 Total
Holy: 8 Attack, 24 Defense, 32 Total

 Yes, I believe that this is the best combine methods online and I am therefore reposting it. Why? because it even shows the percentage of success rate of the combination here! Thanks to the person or team that had dedicated his/her time in doing this...your time to sit down and do the math is so awesome!

RE: Authistic boy gets reorganization letter from Obama

Malaysia is on the world news again, and this time it zooms in on boy wonder in Penang!
Just who is this "boy wonder" you may ask...
well..here is an article below that explains it all

 

Gifted 11-year-old Delwin Cheah with the letter from US President Barack Obama. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Hasnoor Hussain, August 22, 2014.

It is not everyday a boy receives a letter from the President of the United States. Let alone if he is an 11-year-old who lives halfway across the globe.

But Penang boy Delwin Cheah Wien Loong did, when he received a letter from President Barack Obama.

Delwin is no ordinary boy. He is the Malaysia Book of Records' "Youngest Artist To Hold Solo Visual Art Exhibition (Autism Spectrum Disorder)" and the United States' Record Setter's "World Youngest Savant Artist (ASD) to hold a Solo Exhibition".

Delwin is autistic but his achievements had previously earned him and his family the chance to meet and rub shoulders with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

Now, he has a letter from Obama, thanking him for his "gift", a book of his drawings titled "I Can Draw".

In the July 14 letter, Obama wrote that "the world needs young people like you who are trying hard in school, serving your community, and dreaming big dreams".

"We face many challenges, but with your help, we can build on what we have already achieved and forge a brighter tomorrow," the US president wrote.

Delwin's parents Lawrence Cheah and Erina Law said they never expected a letter from the president and were surprised to learn that Obama had recently received the book.

"The book came out two years ago when Delwin had his first art exhibition," she said.

Her husband Lawrence said they had no idea who gave the book to Obama.

"We are also trying to find out who is this person," he said.

The couple and their son have been in the news many times because of the boy's talent in drawing.

Banking on what Delwin can do, the proud parents have been trying to reach out to other parents with autistic children, reminding them never to give up.

Often, they try to inspire others with Delwin's story, from the time they discovered he had Asperger's Disorder at age five but also an IQ of 114, making him the world's youngest Savant artist today.

Lawrence and his wife advocate early detection and early intervention, and they stress on the importance of teaching and training children with autism from young to help them develop their talents.

"Once you have the diagnosis, you can only accept (that your child has) autism and start seeing to your child's training and education to develop his or her hidden talents," he said, stressing that waiting for the child to grow up to be taught would be too late.

He said Delwin had started drawing when he was just over three years old, and even then he had been drawing wild animals especially Safari animals.

"I sent Delwin to art classes after we discovered that he liked drawing. The teacher came to me and said my son was the worst student and he can never be an artist.

"Delwin could not take instructions. He just drew whatever that came to him. So the teacher did not know how to deal with a student like that.

"But we never gave up and we kept encouraging him to develop his skills and his art. Delwin is where he is now because we persevered together with him as a team," Lawrence said.

When it comes to art, Delwin is not like kids his age, who would normally use pencils to draw so they could easily rub off mistakes. Delwin uses pens and draws his animals so well there are no mistakes.

Law said it is important to understand how autistic children learn and do things differently, and be supportive instead of regarding them as disabled.

Delwin, she said, does not hold a disabled person's card and goes to a normal school with normal schoolmates.

He is enrolled in Lighthouse Academy Penang, a private school with an American syllabus in Tanjung Bungah that uses a homeschooling approach with its students.

"Delwin attends school like other children his age. He just learns differently," she said.

The family's hardwork with Delwin and their belief in his abilities paid off when the boy began making waves in recent years.

On Christmas Day 2011, Delwin was recognised by Stroke of Genius, an American organisation that educates and empowers people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by promoting their abilities.

In April 2012, he took part in the organisation's art exhibition at the United Nations Plaza in New York and in February last year, he had his first solo show.

In April last year, Delwin made the Malaysia Book of Records as the youngest artist to hold a solo visual art exhibition with 60 art pieces.

Later in November, he was officially named the world's youngest savant artist to hold an exhibition by the Record Setter.

In April this year, he again made his mark with the Malaysia Book of Records for winning the "Most Outstanding Personality (Art Category)" award.

The latest feather on Delwin's cap is of course the letter he received from the White House.

Savant syndrome is a condition in which a person with a mental disability, such as an autism spectrum disorder, demonstrates profound and prodigious capacities or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal.

Some people with Savant syndrome demonstrate exceptional skills in areas like rapid calculation, art, memory and musical ability.

Asperger syndrome or Asperger disorder (AD) is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction, non-verbal communication, restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

People with Asperger's do not have a learning disability and most go through mainstream school, pursue higher education and enter employment, and some would excel in areas like mathematics, science, language, memory and concentration. – August 22, 2014.

It is not everyday a boy receives a letter from the President of the United States. Let alone if he is an 11-year-old who lives halfway across the globe.
But Penang boy Delwin Cheah Wien Loong did, when he received a letter from President Barack Obama.
Delwin is no ordinary boy. He is the Malaysia Book of Records' "Youngest Artist To Hold Solo Visual Art Exhibition (Autism Spectrum Disorder)" and the United States' Record Setter's "World Youngest Savant Artist (ASD) to hold a Solo Exhibition".

Delwin is autistic but his achievements had previously earned him and his family the chance to meet and rub shoulders with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. Now, he has a letter from Obama, thanking him for his "gift", a book of his drawings titled "I Can Draw".
In the July 14 letter, Obama wrote that "the world needs young people like you who are trying hard in school, serving your community, and dreaming big dreams".
"We face many challenges, but with your help, we can build on what we have already achieved and forge a brighter tomorrow," the US president wrote.
Delwin's parents Lawrence Cheah and Erina Law said they never expected a letter from the president and were surprised to learn that Obama had recently received the book.
"The book came out two years ago when Delwin had his first art exhibition," she said.
Her husband Lawrence said they had no idea who gave the book to Obama.
"We are also trying to find out who is this person," he said.
The couple and their son have been in the news many times because of the boy's talent in drawing.
Banking on what Delwin can do, the proud parents have been trying to reach out to other parents with autistic children, reminding them never to give up.
Often, they try to inspire others with Delwin's story, from the time they discovered he had Asperger's Disorder at age five but also an IQ of 114, making him the world's youngest Savant artist today.
Lawrence and his wife advocate early detection and early intervention, and they stress on the importance of teaching and training children with autism from young to help them develop their talents.
"Once you have the diagnosis, you can only accept (that your child has) autism and start seeing to your child's training and education to develop his or her hidden talents," he said, stressing that waiting for the child to grow up to be taught would be too late.
He said Delwin had started drawing when he was just over three years old, and even then he had been drawing wild animals especially Safari animals.
"I sent Delwin to art classes after we discovered that he liked drawing. The teacher came to me and said my son was the worst student and he can never be an artist.
"Delwin could not take instructions. He just drew whatever that came to him. So the teacher did not know how to deal with a student like that.
"But we never gave up and we kept encouraging him to develop his skills and his art. Delwin is where he is now because we persevered together with him as a team," Lawrence said.
When it comes to art, Delwin is not like kids his age, who would normally use pencils to draw so they could easily rub off mistakes. Delwin uses pens and draws his animals so well there are no mistakes.
Law said it is important to understand how autistic children learn and do things differently, and be supportive instead of regarding them as disabled.
Delwin, she said, does not hold a disabled person's card and goes to a normal school with normal schoolmates.
He is enrolled in Lighthouse Academy Penang, a private school with an American syllabus in Tanjung Bungah that uses a homeschooling approach with its students.
"Delwin attends school like other children his age. He just learns differently," she said.
The family's hardwork with Delwin and their belief in his abilities paid off when the boy began making waves in recent years.
On Christmas Day 2011, Delwin was recognised by Stroke of Genius, an American organisation that educates and empowers people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by promoting their abilities.
In April 2012, he took part in the organisation's art exhibition at the United Nations Plaza in New York and in February last year, he had his first solo show.
In April last year, Delwin made the Malaysia Book of Records as the youngest artist to hold a solo visual art exhibition with 60 art pieces.
Later in November, he was officially named the world's youngest savant artist to hold an exhibition by the Record Setter.
In April this year, he again made his mark with the Malaysia Book of Records for winning the "Most Outstanding Personality (Art Category)" award.
The latest feather on Delwin's cap is of course the letter he received from the White House.
Savant syndrome is a condition in which a person with a mental disability, such as an autism spectrum disorder, demonstrates profound and prodigious capacities or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal.
Some people with Savant syndrome demonstrate exceptional skills in areas like rapid calculation, art, memory and musical ability.
Asperger syndrome or Asperger disorder (AD) is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction, non-verbal communication, restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour and interests.
People with Asperger's do not have a learning disability and most go through mainstream school, pursue higher education and enter employment, and some would excel in areas like mathematics, science, language, memory and concentration. – August 22, 2014.
