Firefox + YouTube Problems

[apollux]

Hey guys!

I've been having this weird problem with youtube where I would click on a view and I would get a "We are Sorry, this video is no longer availble" message. I browse from Firefox 3.0.3 by the way.

Searched a little and found a post somewhere saying that YouTube had reworked their Flash player and many more users where having the same problem (couldn't find an official statement from YouTube though) and the same post recommended changing your account's default reproduction quality setting to the lowest.... it solved the problem back then but it is happening all again and this time the setting isn't helping.

Do you know any work-around or a fix for the situation?

Downgrading back to Firefox 2. That's what I did. Firefox 3 ist crap and has many more problems. Just have a look at their forums.

I effing hate Firefox 3. Or rather, it hasn't been working at all since I installed it (seems to be a problem with the German Vista). I've been forced to use Opera because of it.

I had problems initially with Firefox 3.0 with youtube & freezing for minutes at a time supposedly because I was using an Intel iMac & there were compatibility problems. I guess those issues have been corrected since I haven't had the same problems with Firefox 3.0.3 though I find that youtube does run more smoothly when I play videos on Safari.

Dunno...


But I have to say I never had any problems with Firefox 2.0 and youtube or freezing or other snafus.

I have only a few problems with that and I am on youtube a lot, and often reloading the page helps me
