hi. iv been having this problem on my desktop recently - utube vids just stop, usually 1:00 time, even tho its fully buffered. refreshing doesnt help - its stuck again. just bought new laptop, installed mozzila, utube worked fine for one day. next - stopped again, not every video, but often enough. i also noticed that sometimes timer doesnt even start during video. i only use 2 addons - utube replay buttom and adblocks. any ideas whats causing this?

I have had extensive problems with getting YouTube to work properly since winter of 2012.

The only solution I have managed to find for myself has been a script that forces YouTube to buffer the videos. I have used it successfully for a couple of months now, and without it, YouTube simply doesn't buffer well enough.

You will need to install Greasemonkey (found here) and the script itself (found here ) to get it working.

I wish you good luck and I hope this will work out for you!
