Hi. :/ Whenever I try to watch a video on YouTube, my browser stops responding and freezes. However, I can watch videos on every other site. I've tried restarting the browser, reinstalling Firefox, and clearing the cache, as well as waiting, but It doesn't work. It even works in Private Mode... Please help.

Thanks,
                  Rachel.
