Hi All,

Before I pull the plug on FireFox, I'll try once more. YouTube Videos do not play. They start then stop with the cryptic error message "An error has occurred.... Other videos play fine. YouTube videos play fine on that other browser. I've tried all the suggestions in this forum, my PlugIns were uninstalled and re-installed, Firefox was uninstalled and re-installed and No, I do not live in India. Anybody have any idea what's wrong. What's Google doing that Mozilla can't figure out?

Do you have the latest version of Flash Player? Download Flash Player at get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install it. Also, is your internet slow? Try changing your quality on the video to low when the video starts to see if it does the same thing.
