Below is what I see when attempting to view any YouTube videos, this started two days ago. I can still view YouTube videos with Internet explorer but prefer to use Firefox. I can go to any other web site without issue.

hi, this is probably due to a faulty ghostery update: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ghostery/reviews/788388/

I should probably add, at the time i was viewing vids and went to the next one and starting getting this page. I made no setting changes. I cleared cookies, history and cache, etc. rebooted the computer, even the next day and still getting this page instead of the normal YouTube page.

I am running Windows 10

Thanks, you are correct, an automatic update with ghostery was the cause.

Thanks again. all fixed.
