Youtube won't load on firefox when just five minutes ago it did. Why is it messing up?

Just five minutes ago youtube was working just fine on firefox However now this comes up "firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com." what the heck is going on here? It works on my explorer just fine but not on firefox. What happened?
Also, I use windows vista.

So, even though something worked five minutes ago it can not work right due to that? Somehow, I didn't have to do any of that. I don't know what it was but when I went to check one last time after posting here. The youtube page loaded. And I take care of my cookies and history about every three days. But I am glad it is working now and thank you for the help. I hope anyone else that sees this is able to be helped to.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

URLs clicked in other programs won't load in Firefox

Just within the last 1-3 weeks (?) or so, I find that I can't click on links in other programs and have the URL load in Firefox, which is my default browser. They always used to load perfectly and switch me to the new tab in FF, but now they don't.
At first I tried disabling a couple of recent FF add-ons one at a time to see if one of them might have been the problem, but that didn't seem to solve it, though I may have missed one. Still, I can't imagine how an unrelated add-on could cause URLs not to load from other programs. I have tried loading URLs by clicking on them in Thunderbird, WordPad, MailWasher Pro, and even Libre Office, but all of them either just twitched the screen for an instant and then stopped, or else gave me a message such as "WordPad was unable to open the URL" or "There was a problem sending the command to the program" (Libre Office). However, when I copy and paste those same URLs into FF and hit Enter, those sites load perfectly.
I may be wrong in this, but it appears that something has changed within FF that now prevents links clicked in other programs from loading. My only other thought at the moment is that this '''may''' possibly have started about the time I upgraded from FF 10.0.2 to FF 11.0.1, but I have no firm evidence to support that theory.
This is really an annoying and inconvenient problem, so any help in resolving it will be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Al

The problem is fixed now as a result of some help I got on the WindowsSecrets forum. Once I realized that the problem was occurring not just with MWP and Thunderbird, but with other programs as well (I tried WordPad and Libre Office, both of which likewise failed to load the URL into Firefox), I posted the question on other forums, trying to see if others knew anything about this issue. I got the answer from a forum member on this page:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/145441-URLs-clicked-in-other-programs-won-t-load-in-Firefox?p=847784#post847784
In case you're not a member there or can't load that page, here was his suggestion:
With FF closed type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the start menu search box, click the item that appears and delete localstore.rdf FF will replace it on starting.
I did that and all four programs that had previous problems loading URLs, including MWP, now load them perfectly. The only (minor) problem with this solution was that localstore.rdf apparently stores all the info about such things as the Firefox toolbars and their customisation, so all that was lost when I deleted the file, but I got them re-customised fairly quickly and all is well. Any thoughts regarding what localstore.rdf does, why this problem happened, or how to prevent it from happening again will be appreciated.
I hope this info helps. Thanks again for all your help.

Al

Youtube won't load on macbook

I have a MacBook, Mac OS X 10.5.2, and youtube won't load on my computer. I never used to have this problem but in the last two weeks or so it just stopped loading. In other words, the pictures don't show up on the webpage. The videos themselves work but I can't view the pictures that are next to the title of the video.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi
I'm only guessing but here are a few suggestions that might help:
1) Empty the Safari Cache. Safari menu > Empty Cache
2) Clear out any YouTube cookies. Safari > Preferences > Security > Show Cookies.....
3) In YouTube, ctrl-click on a running movie, choose Settings.. and increase the amount of local storage used.
4) Use a tool like Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner to clear out ALL system and user cache files.
Good luck

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

Whose iTunes account is currently logged into on that computer's iTunes ? If your husband's then log out of it via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then sign in with your account (it will change to a Store > Sign In menu option) and you should then be able to view the purchase history of your account

YouTube won't load on Safari, Firefox or Chrome (on MBP)

Just in the last couple of days, my MBP stopped loading YouTube. It doesn't matter which browser I use, it won't load. Ironically, it WILL load on my husband's iMac. It's just started the last couple of days. We're on the same network. I've emptied the cache, deleted history, ran a disk utility, rebooted the Airport and the Modem, still nothing seems to help. Not sure what sort of settings to check for. I tried updating flash, but still nothing.

Have you reinstalling Flash? Download and install from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ . Perhaps your Flash has become corrupted.
Have you tried using the Chrome browser, which has Flash built into it, versus relying on the separate Flash module (assuming that Flash is the common component causing the issue)?

Yahoo mail contacts won't load on Firefox 3.6

I am using FF 3.6 on XP. Yahoo mail contacts won't load so I can't access my contacts list for emails, etc.
I am able to successfully open Yahoo mail and view my contacts in IE 7. The contacts tab opens and I can access addresses for email etc.
What's up w/ that?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Youtube won't load on safari

Youtube video won't load lately on Safari.... the time of the video is 00:00 all the time and sometimes when I refresh it like 5 times it will load eventually.

One of the following steps should help.

    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:

    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".

Background CSS images not loading in firefox when using a CDN

Hello,
I am having trouble getting CSS background images to load in Fire fox when using a CDN.
Here is a description of the problem:
- Everything works fine in Chrome
- Any images loaded through CSS do not load in Firefox (they load in chrome) when i have the CDN enabled.
- Other images / custom fonts appear to load fine with the CDN enabled
My setup:
- wordpress 3.8
- CDN - Rackspace Cloudfiles synced with w3 total cache plugin (using the 'origin push' configuration)
- using Cloudflare (mozilla appears to load the site fine while cloudflare is active)
More about the problem--
I suspect that the problem has something to do with the htaccess file redirecting some urls or something-- but im not quite sure what to do about this.
Has anyone encountered this problem before who can offer some insight?
thanks

Hi pvijeh, is that the explanation for a security error? I'm having trouble understanding the context.

Project won't load in compressor when sent from FCPX???

Just purchased Compressor. It's not working!
When I click on "Add a File", it seems to work just fine loading in a video that I've already exported from FCPX into a .mov.
BUT, I haven't had luck sending a project from FCPX to Compressor to tweak before export to the web. This is what I get after clicking on "Send to Compressor":
It just sit there like this for several minutes, then Compressor closes on its own.
I went through the Compressor 4.1: Basic troubleshooting page and did everything on it...nothing helped. Yes, I did uninstall and re-install Compressor...still, no help.
I'm stumped.

Okay, Russ...I did some checking and here's what I came up with.
No, none of the projects that I have in FCPX are loading in compressor when I use "Send to Compressor"
Yes, I can export a master file of any of my projects and they will load into Compressor.
I'd prefer to send the project directly to compressor...seems like I'm adding an extra step by creating the Master File that might degrade quality just that tiny little bit if I do that. But I'm pretty new to this, so maybe that's not an issue at all.

I just (10 minutes ago) downloaded an update to Firefox Sync and now it won't work

A few minutes ago (10 November 2010 18:00 GMT approx) I downloaded an update to Firefox Sync after getting a prompt and now it won't work. It is not listed under tools as before or in the browser taskbar. It appears as a green jigsaw-puzzle-piece in my list of add-ons saying "this add-on will be installed when you restart Firefox". I have restarted FF about 5 times now and it still won't install. I have the most up to date version of FF.

I assume Google toolbar extension is not compatible with Firefox 5.
You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,
