You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If you disable your RealPlayer/RealDownloaders plugins and extensions, does that make any difference?

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.

Could you test in a new profile?

Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following into the Run box on the Windows Start menu and pressing Enter:

firefox.exe -P

Click the Create Profile button and accept the suggested location. (To avoid data loss do not choose the location of any existing folder containing data.) Then Start Firefox using the new profile. (More info on the Profile Manager: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles)

Any difference on Youtube?

After testing, to switch back to your regular profile, exit Firefox, start up the profile manager, select your regular profile, and Start Firefox.

I recommend not deleting any profiles without first making a backup of all of them, just in case something were to go wrong during the deletion process.

I have tried so many ways using the CCleaner program and switch the status of Firefox from normal mode to "safe mode" but this did not help even with the "safe mode" So there is no other solutions to resolve this problem and I'm working with virus experts team . and Did not know the cause of the problemnow!

Probably is a bug since the release of Firefox version 23.0 is out and we want you to check it out as soon as possible or we will find an alternative Web browser!

the problem is that CCleaner is known to corrupt the firefox profile, make a exception of the firefox profile folder in CCleaner so you don't get such.

Also does this work fine in any other browsers?

I would like to inform you that there is a problem also subscribe YouTube and I can not subscribe to a lot of channels!

Hi G-hot, I'm not sure from your replies whether you tested in a new profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971257#answer-482048

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

hi jscher2000, Do I really need to create a new profile?What will this benefit?

more options

Clear and delete cookies and temporary Internet files, etc. ..Using many programs did not help to fix the problem and go to the Troubleshooting Information then click on reset Firefox browser settings helped to temporarily fix the problem!But after a period of time the problem go back again so there is no solution yet?

I also did what in the cor-el instructions by deleting cookies manually go to "Clear the Cache":

   Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now" 

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

   Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"  even this did not help either

Hi G-hot, you wrote:

It's a test. If it works, there is a problem in your existing profile settings. If it doesn't work, there is a problem with Firefox program files or some external software on your computer or the website.
