I am using FF 13.01 and now cannot access any YouTube videos. I tried deleting cookies, deleting history and installed the new Adobe Flash player.

When opening any video on YouTube, I receive the following notice: "An error occurred. Please try again."

I installed FF 13.01 by means of the automatic updater.

Before the update, I was able to access YouTube videos. After the update, I have not.

Before the update, Chrome was the default browser. I changed this to FF. Since then, I have not been able to view videos through FF.

Chrome accesses YouTube videos.

The video showing add-ons within Firefox does work.

Two add-ons are listed: RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin and Skype Click to Call. Both are disabled.

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in these articles helps:

I used the suggestion of un-checking "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers". This worked.

Thank you.
