Was unable to open Youtube video clips

Post #1 by modelman093 » Sat Nov 10, 2012 12:07 am

I have used Firefox browser for ages with no bother and suddenly found that I couldn't run Youtube video clips. I went onto the Firefox help forum and it seems that I was not alone in having the problem. Tried all their suggested fixes to no avail but found that all was OK with Internet Explorer and Chrome.
Then today working ok with Firefox - aren't puters wonderful!

They certainly cause us some wonderful problems to sort out Angus; I have lost info on my puters before but have learned the only way to preserve data is to back it up and on more than one external hard drive too.
The works puters are fun as we get problems there but at least we have a couple of good I.T. lads that manage to sort em.

YT is changing a lot these days, it might be caused by that.

Just use Internet Explorer, I've never ever had a problem.
