[Solved] Linux: Fix for USB Webcam not being recognized and no /dev/video* for newer kernels or after kernel upgrade

 So my USB webcam was working fine until newer kernel versions. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't show up in guvcview or cheese. Tried a bunch of stuff but it was pointless. Then after much googling, I found two fixes, a temporary one and a permanent one. 
Because this only worked because I tried the temporary fix first, your results may vary. Therefore, try the temp fix to see if your unrecognizable webcam will actually work.

1. [Temporary, necessary after reboot. **Must have a second working webcam**] If you have another USB webcam that actually works, reboot with the working webcam plugged in. This will load uvcvideo during boot. Then plug in the one that doesn't get recognized and it should get recognized.

2. [Permanent] in /etc/modules-load.d create uvcvideo.conf and add the following line

    uvcvideo

*If Fix #1 works, then this will load uvcvideo during boot without needing to actually do Fix #1. Also make sure uvcvideo isn't added to a blacklist.

Firefox crashing with html5 and flash...possible fix

So Firefox has been crashing a lot when viewing html5 on youtube, etc. If I just watch the files in the non-full screen mode it's okay but if I do anything that changes...such as seek to a different point in the video or maximize the screen it just crashes.

Well for some reason the new firefox (13.0.1 is the one I have) or maybe even the older version, I'm not sure which, added me to the html5 trial on youtube automatically!!! I just left the html5 testing (click on "leave the html5 trial" @ youtube.com/html5) and now all the vids are back to "normal" =D and I have full screen back!!!

Damn you Adobe! fix this already! I would like to see it in html5 but this crashing has got to stop.
