I am using firefox version 7.01 but unable to play youtube videos
i am using windows 7 version.
Thanks for posting! -- I'm glad the info is helpful to you. There is more that I have been deliberately keeping quiet about while trying to work through a support call that was logged 27-dec-08. Without going into a lot of detail, the support call is still open, and I'm still working on getting a resolution from apple engineering. I hope that by providing this information, my support call doesn't get terminated as having been "solved" - which it most definitely has not been. It is my belief that only a firmware update will fix this.
(And as an aside ... I've spoken with three or four support reps at apple, and all have been very nice and have tried to help out! I've been quite pleased with the front end to their support org. I just really want to hear that someone has LOOKED at the code and found the error and it will be fixed in a future update!)
A work-around for the youtube and itunes applet failures is to set your squid up as a transparent proxy. That way, the network accesses that these applets make that attempt to bypass the proxy are hidden and the applets "work".
I would most certainly appreciate any further corroboration of this misbehavior -- more than one site being able to demonstrate these applets bypassing the proxy would be quite helpful.
(Note also that the lastest firmware 2.2.1 also exhibits this issue)
Thanks.

Unable to play youtube videos - using proxy (squid)
Youtube videos do not play in my configuration. Most youtube content appears, but attempting to play a video results in a popup message "This movie could not be played". Sorry for the length of the post, but I'm trying to get enough documentation down here to save some time for the next person who runs into this.
My basic network configuration is:
ipod->wireless-router->squid-proxy->pix->internet
*I am analyzing logfiles from the proxy and the pix, and I have network traces from the proxy.
There are 2 issues so far with proxy access from the youtube application on the fw v2.2 ipod touch. After hitting the first issue, I made a call to tech support who pointed me to an older apple discussion thread about a similar issue which indicated the problem could be fixed by "reconfiguring the proxy server", but no details were given in that discussion thread about exactly what needed to be 'reconfigured'. I believe have figured out what was going wrong, and I document it as issue 1 below in case anyone else runs into it.
Issue 1 (which I managed to get solved) is that the youtube application sends a 'Host:' header pointing to gdata.youtube.com, but the requested url is actually iphone-wu.apple.com. Squid rewrites the 'host' header to iphone-wu.apple.com, and the target server fails the request with a 404. A solution (for squid) is to use a redirector to rewrite these url's to actually go to gdata.youtube.com and to set the 'urlrewrite_hostheader off' value.
Unfortunately, resolving issue #1 was not sufficient to get youtube off the launch pad:
Issue 2 (which seems unsolveable at the moment) is that the youtube application is ignoring proxy settings for some of its content requests. In addition to the proxy requirement, I have egress firewalling and logging set up. I observe the youtube application asking for many url's via the proxy and then I observe the egress firewall deny an attempt at a direct access to port 80 on an external server BYPASSING the proxy settings. Without opening up the egress firewall rules (and thereby disable requirement for a proxy), this makes the youtube application inoperative.
If anyone has some insight on how I can get this working, I'd appreciate it. I will attempt another support call tomorrow with my logfiles in hand...Thanks for posting! -- I'm glad the info is helpful to you.

Hello Mozilla/FIREFOX I just updated to your latest version and now my NETFLIX nor my YOUTUBE plays anymore. I just get a black space without any volume or play symbols - this isn't working for me. I donated to your organization as I am a supporter but you'll need to honor your side of the street. What are you guys doing to fix this and by when will it be resolved?
Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
Firefox unable to play youtube videos: "An error occurred, please try again later."
Tried deleting cookies, clearing history, reinstalling flash, firefox safe mode, all add ons turned off, made a different firefox profile, restarted firefox to its default settings. Nothing works, start playing any youtube video and at the 1 second mark the error appears. It doesn't matter if the video is embedded.
Curiously, youtube does work in chrome.
What do I do?If your computer doesn't have any sound (no speakers hooked up, etc. then
plug in a set of headphones and see if it works. I know it sounds funny, but I've been dealing with this problem for months on a work computer that has no speakers. Plugging in a set of headphones fixed the problem.
Youtube now requires a sound device present to work correctly. -

I am unable to watch Youtube videos on Firefox ?
I don't know why I am unable to play Youtube videos on Firefox (this problem stated around mid Sept. 2014).
I explored many solutions but in vain. Firefox/flash (I am not sure) is behaving weirdly, I found some solutions on 'Mozilla Support' when I apply these, I am able to play YT videos but after some time (usually after a re-boot) I get the screen "An error occurred please try again Later" and this cycle repeats. I use a public Wifi/LAN of my university and everyone(using Firefox) has the same problem, and everyone noticed the problem at the same time.
Some solutions I tried are:
1. Deleting Cache, Cookies, History etc etc
2. Uninstalling and Re-installing Firefox and flash.
3. I do have the latest version of both flash and Firefox
4. Using Firefox in safe-mode (Sometimes even in safe-mode I couldn't play YT videos)
5. Disabling Hardware Acceleration (though I use a I5 machine with Windows 7 and Intel(R) 3000 Graphics card).
6. Tweaking DNS settings (changed my DNS server address to 8.8.4.4 etc)
7. Degrading to previous versions of Firefox (I used FF 28.0 in Linux worked fine for a while and then the problem repeats itself)
I am confused, I am not sure where the problem is, because I use Linux(Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 7 and in both of them Firefox won't play YT videos but Chromium/Chrome does. As I said before videos would play for certain time and then they would stop playing giving me "An error occurred please try again Later......". Another observation is there were only 2 resolutions (1020p and 240p ) available and the result won;t change even if I change them.Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".
We are secured by "Cyberoam" so I don't have access to proxy sites.
By the way these observations are for Windows 7. -
I am currently using Firefox Version 1.5.0.12 on my iBook G4 with Mac OS X Version 10.3.9. I have problems using Facebook. I cannot confirm friend requests or view messages in the inbox for instance. What can I do?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://facebook.comFirefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions, but that may not work any better because some large websites are blocking those older browsers or dropping support for older browsers like IE6 & earlier, and Firefox 2 & earlier due to security issues.
Using Safari on those websites ''(not enough total users for websites to be concerned about)'', or installing a new version of MacOSX are two solutions; or getting a new computer. -
I just started using Firefox version 26 official today. I noticed that after downloading any file Firefox is not performing security scan. Earlier version always did. Does FF26 do security scan at the time of downloading itself? or security scan has been removed from the Firefox 26? i like the new UI of Firefox but i am security conscious.
You can check the <b>browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and if necessary reset this pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19.
URL Eaddress: [email protected]You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You can place the Tab Bar on top.
* View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
* View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top
The Tab bar only appears on the title bar if the Firefox window is maximized. -

I encountered a problem with some client machines that use Firefox version 24ESR and IE8.
Ajax requests of aspx pages from Firefox are getting the following error from the iis server (iis version 7.5):
Bad Request - Request Too Long
HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
From analyzing the request that was sent to the server, I saw that the request consist of only the viewstate of the aspx page.
I tried to disable the viewstate for one page and the server got the request correctly.
I do not encounter any issues on these laptops with postback requests from Firefox or when running the same application with IE8.Sometimes that means that the page address sent is loo long.
Check the link address you are using.
I can't help you further and will send for more help. -
I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will
I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?
It maybe because your javascript is disabled .
You can check the javascript.enabled pref on the about:config page.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
There are also extensions that can block JavaScript or otherwise interfere.
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Or,
"Clear the Cache":
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
'''''Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.'''''

I have updated to Firefox 14.01 and Java.
I could open youtube but could not play the video's.
But when I use Internet Explorer the video in youtube is fine.
What should I do?There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings.
* Support article with workarounds: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
* If you want to keep using your Real downloader, consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
