Pages: 1 rockethead26 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/21/09 Loc: Indiana, USA Firefox and Youtube.com       #5730681 - 03/13/13 04:48 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I started using Firefox full time about 6 months ago and for the life of me, I can't figure out why every time I click on a link to a Youtube video (usually here on CN), the Youtube screen comes up and the video portion stays black. It will never play. I always have to go to Chrome to watch it. I know its a setting, but I can't figure out which one. I'm on the latest version, 19.0.2. I've got Youtube.com listed as an exception to "Block Pop-Ups". I use WebRoot anti-virus and have all "http" websites as "low" security level, so I can't imagine that that's the problem. Do any of you FireFox gurus have a suggestion for me?

I had disabled Java Script in Firefox. I didn't realize it was necessary for YouTube.

Now I know about Java Script. That's a start!

You can then enable on a site by site basis.

It is an add on for Firefox. Shows up in the bottom toolbar as small boxes. You can click on each box independantly and enable/disable Javascript, Java, Silverlight, Cookies, Flash and a few more. Really neat add on.

Can you link me to a site that will explain what you said? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/noscript/ If I go to Yahoo for example - I can forbid Yahoo entirely, hide most of the advertising, forbid graphics, etc. I can select all of the above on any site. If you allow everything - most pages will allow Facebook Net, Twitter, Google Analytics, Doubleclick,Etc. I only allow what I want, Post Extras:       rockethead26 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/21/09 Loc: Indiana, USA Re: Firefox and Youtube.com [Re: weezy]       #5735147 - 03/15/13 10:28 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks Weezy, I'll check it out.
