- i have this dot (~2 pixels) in the middle of my screen on all twitch streams, that are not in full screen
- i don't have that dot on azubu.tv streams, youtube videos, warcraftmovies videos and so on
- the dot disappears when i switch the video in full screen mode
- i use Firefox 30.0 portable with Flash 14.0.0.125 plugin
Ex:[image loading]

can i make it disappear or something?

the dot remains in the middle of the stream and moves with scrolling (up-down or left-right).
i'm using HD4600 as video rendering; latest intel driver with no overclocks, no nothing.

It's called Twitch's permanent nuke. You'll have to scan more often, my dear friend.

Odd that you don't have the twitch watermark in the top right (when not watching directly from twitch). Bet it has to do with that.

the top side is cut.
i do have that twitch logo at top right.

Edit: also, i don't know if it's related by my Firefox is oozing memory. i update it to v31.0 but nothing changed.
often, i end up with either a firefox.exe*32 pushing 1GB or/and FlashPlayerPlugin_._._.exe pushing way over 1GB.
when flashplayer is leaking memory, i just terminate the process and refresh the browser tabs but when it's firefox, i'm forced to have to close everything, else it moves really really slow.

to whom it may concern:
- recently, i manually installed DirectX 11.1 and DirectX 9.0c and one of those fixed the red dot issue (not really sure which but if i were to guess, i'd say the 9.0c one).

I have no idea about directx but sounds like you dont have all directx versions.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=35

English Description must be wrong, it does install ALL versions.

from your link
The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX

it doesn't install dx10, 11 and so on and win7 x64bit comes with dx11 only.
i know that because i had a game require some dll's which my win7 didn't have; the dll's were in that dx 9.0c bundle.

as i said about english description. If i switch to german language, it says "install (all until) the latest dx version."
latest=aktuelle.

edit: if you have dx11 already then it doesnt install dx11 again, only stuff you dont have. I have win7 64 and I needed that link to solve the problems with my very old pc games.

install (all until) the latest dx version
maybe that was true when 9.0c was the latest and they just didn't update the text since 2010 when they also changed the way dx updates were built in/for specific OS. (ex: win7 can never use dx11.2)

i never said it installed dx11 again, i said i installed a separate dx11.1 (which is just a patch for dx11) that came in a Microsoft KB2670838 update and that dx.9.0c installed some dll's i didn't have.
