Youtube videos randomly not working
Hey, ive read some other threads but didnt notice anything that solves the problem. So yeah, recently, like 3 days ago or so, youtube videos started randomly not loading. I mostly use youtube to play music, got my own playlist, but now the songs try to load for like 10 seconds or so and then skip to other song. Tried playing a song not as a part of playlist, but a separate video. Tried to load, but eventually got error. On read more there were few suggestions, ive tried them all, nothing changed. Deleted cookies and cache. Tried playing firefox in safemode, then youtube videos work fine. btw, i guess i should mention, that i use adblock plus so that i could play the playlist and not get those 10 minute ads between every song. if i manually disable adblock, nothing changes mostly. Though 1 time the video started with an ad before the song but only once. if anyone could help me i would appreciate it. If u need any more info ask away :) (so far it seems like only videos from my playlist fail to load)

Did all of it. Didnt help
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites.
yes, it's still there
Please post some of the links you are having problems with. (Not just one.)

or u can just go there.

Basically almost every song in the playlist. One song or maybe two might some times play, but most of the time its just loading for like 10 seconds, then it skips to another song. If u try playing same song not in the playlist, like a separate song, after the same time it just stops loading and says "an error has occurred, please try again later. LEARN MORE"
Check these links. I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

Hi Lethos, I understand that when you play a playlist and an ad blocker that some some are not playing all the way through. Please check if the playlist works in Safe Mode as well as contact the developer of the ad blocking software.
same problem occurs if i play in safe mode :/ songs dont even start
