Huffington Post has links to You Tube videos. I always get the error message "An error occurred, please try again later" if I attempt to open the link. I haven't tried from any other site.

I've had this problem for ages, and I finally solved it with the help of: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Copy_data_to_the_new_profile.

This solution will reset your settings to which sites you allow or deny to set cookies, display images, open popup windows and initiate extensions installation.

1. Close Firefox

2. Start >> Run >> firefox.exe -p

3. Create Profile >> Next >> Finish >> Start Firefox

4. Close Firefox

5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[Your User]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

6. Copy the file permissions.sqlite from the new profile folder to the original profile folder

7. Start Firefox
