NVIDIA 3D Vision wants to activate on YouTube in Firefox

[ThisIsMadness91]

Ever since yesterday, when I open a YouTube video in Firefox, I'm asked if I want to keep blocking or allow the NVIDIA 3D Vision plugin to be activated. In the past, this only happened for certain videos, but now it happens on all of them. Is this happening for anyone else? Should I set the plugin to never activate so that I don't have to always tell Firefox to keep blocking it?

Hi there .. Did you purchase the Nvidia 3 D Kit ? ....

 

[ThisIsMadness91]

No, but the 3D Vision drivers were installed when I bought my graphics card a few years back.

If you do not want to use it Block it then ...

This is something that just started happening to me as well, when I updated Firefox to version 32.0.1. What browser are you using, Madness?

 

[ThisIsMadness91]

I was using 32.0 when it started happening, but I got a notice at the end of the day saying that 32.0.1 would be installed after restarting my browser.

I can't find any other references to it on the web or on Firefox's bugzilla. However, given that it's happening for multiple people just on SevenForums, it's probably happening to quite a few overall. Maybe something with our specific video cards and an obscure update that got included with 32? I don't know, but I am just going to block it myself.

Its a Video Card or Monitor related Software ...

I believe you are mistaken, Maxie. I haven't updated my video card recently, and it just started happening when I updated Firefox.

I stand corrected seems you could be right ..

Wonder why it would only happen now though ...

I went back and checked, and Windows did updates the night before the day that I updated Firefox. One of those updates was for Nvidia 3D Vision, which means that I was wrong, you were correct, Maxie. It was coincidence that it happened at the same time that the FF update got pushed out.

This thing with Firefox has been going on a long time .. That is what i did mean

The NVidia 3D Vision driver may or may not have been installed all along, as it's been included in their driver installer for a long time. Additionally, it looks like Firefox is the only browser supporting NVidia's plugin for YouTube content. Since both Firefox and 3D Vision driver must be installed the issue of which one was updated most-recently is moot methinks.
