Default Does not work with Firefox 4 or videos

When running Firefox 4 with Direct2D enabled, I am unable to see anything in Firefox 4. I cannot modify it also to disable Direct2D.

This was fixed in version 5.6. I think DisplayLink now processes the video on the installed graphic card and outputs it to the display somehow. That's what it seems like at least.

Default Firefox 4.0 and DisplayLink

Just a note that I also experience the same problem trying to run Firefox v4 on a displaylink connected monitor. Firefox would open but nothing would display or respond. Moving it to a vga or hdmi connected monitor would result in Firefox displaing properly. My system is window 7x64, Nvidia GForce GT320M, Aero disabled.

I upgraded to v 5.6.31548 as suggested but this did not help in my case. However, when I opened Firefox and disabled hardware acceleration everything started working fine.

Hope this may help somebody.

I began having issues again after a reboot and after plugging in another DisplayLink unit. I do not know what's wrong

I restarted, and it's working again for some reason. I have absolutely no clue what's causing this. I run in Windows Classic mode.

I tried on my Netbook using a USB to DVI adapter with a DVI to HDMI adapter and while Firefox 4 works, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get videos to work. I tried many different things but it just wouldn't push over the video. I figure it has something to do with the Intel Integrated graphics on this. I've got a Dell Mini 9 running 32-bit Windows 7.
