[Solved] Cannot browse youtube with firefox?

I noticed this last night, and it is still not working this morning (could very well be something that was changed on youtube's side of things that isn't compatible with Firefox, since it works with Chrome).  Anyway, if I'm watching a video on youtube, and I click another video from the suggested videos / sidebar the page will load (within youtube's frame — red progress bar along the top of the page, and the title / comments will change), however, the previous video will still be playing and the new one will not load until I refresh the page. 
Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  Is it a new youtube "feature" or is some configuration incorrect on my side of things?  Thanks.

How are people supposed to narrow down your problem without sitting in front of your screen?
It's not like they can see what plugins and extensions you have installed and so on.
You'll either have to provide those or you'll have to work alone.
hahaha I have no idea, I've tried disabling adobe-flash from within firefox, but not removing it from my system.  But then I just get the "you don't have flash installed" error.  I've also tried disabling my adblocker, but I really don't have many FF extensions installed.  I have to run to class in a few minutes, so I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and will come along.

  • How to download a video in youtube with firefox 4.0?

    before this, i use firefox version 3.x.x and i use inbox.com to download a video from youtube, but when i upgrade firefox to 4.0 the download button is gone... how to download a video from youtube with firefox 4.0

    Did you check the home page setting?
    *Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I cannot see videos on YouTube with Firefox 5 (IE and Chrome are working)

    just reformatted, and downloaded the new FF 5, but cannot get youtube videos to load

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or
    Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie if above does not do it.

  • Why can't I drag an image or html file into a browser window with Firefox 17

    to get a quick view of various images or html files, I like simply dragging the files from my local drive into a Firefox browser window.
    since upgrading to FF 17, I can no longer do that. a NO symbol comes up when attempting this. and Dreamweaver will no longer preview with Firefox, even though it's my designated, preferred browser.
    anybody know if both of these are some setting or something?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How do i browse privately with firefox mobile

    i would like to browse internet using firefox in private mode without history saving and etc. just like the desktop version.

    There is not a setting for entering and leaving private browsing in Firefox mobile. You can manually clear all private data by pressing the 'Clear private data' button in the Preferences window.
    You can always be in private browsing by typing about:config in the address bar an finding browser.privatebrowsing.autostart and setting it to true. This will prevent Firefox from remembering usernames, passwords, cookies, history, downloads, form data, etc.

  • Had to disabled add ons but it seems to have caused YouTube to insist I upgrade Adobe Flash Player. Did so several times, rebooted and reinstalled Foxfire but still can't play any videos on YouTube with Firefox. Chrome works fine. Please fix.

    Youtube on Firefox won't recognize Adobe Flash Player.

    What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?
    What is your display adapter, driver version & date?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

  • I cannot post comments on YouTube with Firefox anymore, but can on IE. Intermitant problem, some videos I can post to.

    The comment box is grayed out on many, but not all videos. The problem is only on FireFox; I can go to the same videos on IE and have no problem posting comments. I have Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64 bit. The problem is new, has been working properly till a few days ago. I refreshed Firefox to default settings, been through Youtube help menus, and Firefox help.

    I tried restarting Firefox in Safe mode and then went and commented on a video and whalla it actually worked.... so then I thaught it must be a plugin problem.
    I disabled all my plugins then re-enabled them one after the other until whalla I found the culprit!
    The error is in the DownloadHelper 4.9.14 Extension Plugin, hope the Authors of this plugin are reading this, it is causing users commenting and posting errors in Youtube and needs to be patched!
    Hope this helps others!

  • Windows 98 OS, Flash 9.0.277.0 consistently crashes or hangs on YouTube with Firefox 2.0.0.20

    I had given up on getting Flash 9 to work on YouTube, but I thought I'd make this post to see if anyone has any ideas.  I have Windows 98 operating system -- so Flash 9 is as high as I can go.  Flash 9.0.277.0 -- the most recent version -- consistently crashes or hangs on sites with Flash content using Firefox 2.0.0.20 (the highest Firefox version I can have for my OS) or Opera 10.10.  (Every earlier Flash 9 version I tried also crashed.)  The site I really want Flash 9 to work on is YouTube, but EVERY time I  do an artist search and click on a link my computer hangs or crashes with an error message concerning NPSWF32.dll, the Flash plugin.  Is it a lost cause to get Flash 9 to work on YouTube?  I hope someone has an answer.  Thank you very much.

    Hello, Pat.
    You say, "It is also possible that this is mere  speculation."
    Indeed, it is possible that it is  "mere speculation".
    I said that I was basing my comments on poster #  3's comments.  What I tried to do was to rephrase it a little  to show my understanding of the factors contributing to a possible  (NS_type_browser)/YouTube/(FP_9_version) conflict that could lead to the  NPSWF32.dll error or a computer crash or hang.
    To be more general,  "(NS_type_browser)/YouTube/(FP_9_version) conflict" should be replaced with  "(NS_type_browser)/(Internet_web_site)/(FP_9_version) conflict", since FP 9  versions newer than 9r_47 exhibit unpredictable behavior.  That  is, these FP 9 versions will crash on some sites (or videos), whereas on other  sites (or videos) these FP 9 versions will work fine.   
    I thought with your expertise,  that you could clear up any "mere speculation" or  misunderstanding that I might have. 
    But, evidently, this was not the case.
    You say, "I would say, if FP8 on FF2 works for  you, why not just leave it at that?"
    As you know -- or, at least, I hope you know --  different websites support different minimum Flash Player  versions.  That is, on a given website, FP 9 might work fine,  but FP 8 might not work at all -- and, in this case, you would  get a message saying you needed a later version of FP to watch the Flash  content.  (This message is stated differently on different sites, but it is  basically equivalent to what I've just said.)
    why not just leave it at  that?
    YouTube now supports both FP 8 and FP 9, but at  some point in the future I'm sure they will  discontinue support for FP 8.  If I didn't have a working FP 9, I'd be  SOL on YouTube !
    As I explained, in the  present day, I can watch much,  much more Flash content while browsing the web with FP 9 with than with  FP 8.  Also, FP 9 gives a better picture than FP 8.
    I'd guess the reason that you were not even aware  of this -- based on your question -- is that you are not limited by your OS and  hardware like I am.
    I hope this answers your question, Pat.
    Like I said, I'll give you a "helpful answer" -- 5  points -- just for responding to me here.
    Thank you.

  • Cannot access iCloud with Firefox 13.01/OSX 10.7.4

    On my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.4, Firefox 13.01 will not load https://www.icloud.com/ I have Adblocker disabled for this page.
    I can successfully load the page using Safari, but my preference is to use Firefox.
    A couple of weeks ago I did speak (now can't remember if it was voice or text - although since my memory says English was not his primary language, it must have been voice) with an Apple CSR. After a pretty lengthy conversation including some rebooting, etc., he ended up saying that he thought it was a Firefox problem.
    And yes, I know there are pages for the general issue "cannot load pages" that have a laundry list of things to try and tweak. Because my issue is with a SINGLE website address, I really would prefer not to tweak my whole machine just for one site.
    Thanks

    I tried the following without any success.
    1) Clicked on App Store.app from Finder
    2) Clicked on App Store from LaunchPad
    3) Clicked on Applications, App Store
    4) Logged out of iTunes App Store, did 1, 2, and 3
    5) Logged back into iTunes App Store, repeated 1, 2, and 3
    If I am able to solve this, I will post my solution. But I am not very hopeful. Here is some additional info about the iMac in case it is of any use.

  • Why doesn't Webm and HTML5 Video doesn't work on youtube with Firefox 4.0b8pre?

    I go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5. I do not get any video tags or content of the sort.
    If I do a search: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gods+gonna+cut+you+down&aq=0&webm=1
    None of those videos will appear with the video tag. It will all be adobe flash even though I don't have flash installed. Youtube used to work great with firefox4.0.

    The problem is with your user agent. it is:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre
    While it should be:
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101111 Firefox / 4.0b8pre
    I have the same problem, and while I do not know its cause, I have found a workaround- install user-agent-switcher.....
    Have you installed firefox-4 with the "daily" ppa too?

  • I was able to set Firefox 3.5 to reopen all the tabs which were closed when exited Firefox. I cannot do it with Firefox 3.6.

    I use Firefox 3.6.2 on a 2009 MAC Pro using OSX 10.6.5.
    Before upgrading to Firefox 3.6 I was able to configure Firefox 3.5 to reopen all the tabs which had been closed during exiting Firefox prior to reopening it.
    I am unable to configure Firefox 3.6 to do the same.
    Now, when I open Firefox it always opens with one tab with my homepage. It would be much more convenient for me to have all the tabs which had been opened to reopen. When I change a plug-in in order to the change to take effect I have to exit and reopen Firefox, thus losing all the open tabs.

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

    Generally it is less pain to stick to pacman only.  Using anything else would mean pacman cannot know what packages certain files belong to, similar to what you ran into here.
    Got it. Seems I have to reinstall my python packages from scratches again.
    Thanks to all the help.
    SOLVED.
