You Tube/firefox issue - Page 3

Try to create a new user account in WIndows then use that and see if you're still having the problems.

To do that in Windows 7 go into control panel, user accounts, user accounts, manage user accounts, add.

Will try that tomorrow. Thanks.

Dont know if this will help but when You Tube does load, down in the corner it says "waiting for s.ytimg.com"

Do you (or did you previously) have an adblocker?

The link works yes, or are you saying I need to install that version of FF? How does it differ to the version I am already using?

Sorry should have explained.

It's a portable version meaning you don't need to install it, and more importantly in this case, it doesn't use any settings/configs on your computer.

Should help to narrow down where the problem is.

Good idea! That'll eliminate a fair few things.

Ok will do it tomorrow

Nope youtube still won't load. I had to update the adobe reader because it said it was out of date, but it said everything else was up to date.
