I'm unable to watch any videos at all on YouTube using Firefox4. I get a message saying "An error occurred. Please try again later." EVERY TIME... It's been doing this for two days; since the last update. I can view videos just fine in IE... but I despise IE... with every fiber of my being. Also, other websites with video... the videos buffer and buffer and buffer... I can't seem to watch more than 3 seconds at a time. (Except with IE... :{ )

Hi rdwhite.ii,

We've got a troubleshooting section for Youtube that you might be interested in. There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there that should get you up and running again.

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you very much Matt_G. I have never had a problem with firefox before so I didn't know where to go. LOL Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)
