    Youtube is working fine for me.

    Nice, as of right now you have a "1337" post count :p

    Anyways, have you checked your connection speed to make sure its where it's supposed to be?

    Also theres a setting for playback video quality in your account settings.

    Lower quality = faster loading, high quality = slower loading.

    Go to account > under "account" tab > video playback quality.

    What`s the deal with the 1337 post thing?
    I have the youtube loading thing on some videos,at times. It`s related to your internet speed,which might suffer hickups at time.Just refresh or restart the browser.

    Guys guys..
    I need your help troubleshoot this big issue.

    Same youtube videos are NOT loading on FIREFOX.
    But they easily load on IE7

    I tried Firefox Safemode also.

    For example: see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ_S3OacM0E

    (just a random video of a Movie)

    I am unable to see this in Firefox.

    My connection is 3 mbps.

    I thot of contacting ISP but it is easily loading on IE7.


    I am also unable to see videos on other video websites on Firefox.
    Even DivX based videos dont load forever.

    I think it's your flash version, or an addon is making it not work. I had problems playing certain flash websites when i had Abclock Plus installed, disable all extensions when you go into safe mode and try.

    Ok nocturnal310,

    Youtube videos or any flash wont work in firefox if you have installed No Script addin. By default No Scripts blocks everything, so enable the option and you are good to go !

    For example,
    This video doesnt play on my Firefox.. it says 'Video is no more available' ... such a lie.

    It plays easily on IE7.

    <object width='425' height='355'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jjdJf0iHvkg&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jjdJf0iHvkg&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width='425' height='355'></embed></object>

    What version of FF? I'm using the latest stable and have no problems watching any of the Youtube video links you posted. What other addins do you have? Have you tried uninstalling/disabling those addins? Do you have the MS media player FF addin installed?

    It's not a huge deal to reinstall FF - if none of my suggestions work, and a registry scan/repair doesn't help, then just reinstall FF.

    I have no problems of watching that video you posted... Btw i think your problem here is some adware or spyware, so it corrupted your browser (Firefox).
    Try reinstalling it and tell us what happens?

    I hit the same issue. The video will either load very SLOWLY( I have a 4mbit line,go figure) or won`t load at all.
    What gives?
    That`s it, a reinstall is coming pretty soon...

    Okay, i re-installed NO script & updated it.

    Now the problem is gone..

    No script add -on had probably corrupted and it was messing up youtube.

    Thanks

    Hey, how to you embed Youtube on vBulletin?

    Added: Never mind. I see you just copy from YouTube The hiking forum I frequent doesn't have the option.
