Hi there,

Could you provide some more details on what happens when you're trying to play videos on Youtube? Are you seeing any error messages, or similar? Youtube uses the Flash plugin to play videos, so one thing to try is to reinstall Flash: Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems

Let us know if this fixes the problem!

Cheers, David

Can you attach a screenshot of the website problem?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
