In Firefox, when I click on some YouTube videos, I get an errot message. The same link works fine in internet explorer.

The NY times Kenken puzzle page, http://www.nytimes.com/ref/crosswords/kenken.html?8qa&_r=0 no longer comes up properly, none of the puzzle links appear on screen. that website is fine in Internet Explorer.

A week ago, both worked fine.

With the YouTube video, it just says "An error occurred. Please try again later." Same message every time. Same link works fine in Internet Explorer.

With the NY Times website, it comes up as if it wasn't recognising the html code, just a few lines of text.
