Hi xxgeorge007, Thank you for your question, we are currently investigating the cause of this and a work around. Currently there was a blocking of a number of ips in India that has had a large affect on Firefox/Youtube users.

Suggestions for troubleshooting this issue have been:

  • "Clear the Cache":

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

  • "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
 Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies" 
  • As well as temporarily changing dns to 8.8.8.8
  • Flushing the dns cache on the computer
  • File may be unavailable, please try again later.
  • Disable all video players from [about:addons] and see if it will play from the default HTML5 player.

Please post back with your results, it could help other users. Thank you.
