YouTube vids won't play in Firefox - Blu-ray Forum

Nerdkiller likes BD · 03-19-2013, 08:28 PM

I updated to the latest version of Flash, and lo and behold, the videos won't start. Only giving me the "An error occurred, please try again later" crap. I avoided doing this for the longest time, because the last time I updated, it did the same thing, but since it was saying that my computer might be at risk if I don't update, so hopefully, after all this time, I thought Adobe might have fixed that problem, so I did it...but nope. Still a problem. So, did anyone else go through this and if you did, do you know any fixes?

Flash is the worst.

I also use Firefox and experience problems. Instead of video not playing, it will play but there's no volume. Closing out of the browser and opening up a new one won't fix it, I have to restart to get sound on Firefox back.

Just for further clarification, this is only a Firefox related issue, as Chrome has no problem with YouTube playback. Since then, I've removed Flash from Firefox.

Ahhh. Turns out all I had to do was update my RealPlayer thing. Mods, close this thread.

Flash causes many pains for me too in Firefox for youtube. Videos load but if I try and skip through the video a few times it freezes up and crashes.. very annoying. Apparently downgrading to a older version of flash helps but I am not sure.
