Firefox and YouTube

We switched to Firefox this week :jand set it as our default internet browser. Everything was fine. YouTube played with no problems.

This morning I was able to play the videos in my playlist. Come on this afternoon and the videos on YouTube wont load:mad: I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash player and I've cleared all my cookies to no avail:confused:

Please could someone advise me as to what to do? I don't really want to switch back to internet explorer.

Thanks.
:j I hope my comment helps :T

  • DatabaseError - no (and I don't know what it is)

    Jasonwatkins - Speed Dial is the only add-on that I installed via Firefox

    YouTube pages load up fine and I can see all contents, it's just the videos that wont load all I get is the black screen and the moving circle thingy to show it's trying to load (really hope that makes sense).

    Just so we can rule out Flash, do other sites containing Flash objects work OK?

    Actually, I'm just checking youtube myself to rule out any problems at their end, and I'm getting the same identical problem. Maybe others can confirm (otherwise) but it might a problem at Youtube's end. :)

    (Smilies are not Flash objects, embedded or otherwise afaik)

    I've tried four clips from my Favorites and am having the same problem as yourself; looks like a problem at their end.
