The youtube banner doesn't appear when I am on the homepage of Youtube or when I watch videos (it works on other browsers). What should I do? Thank you.

When I go to the Register / Log in web page of Youtube, the banner appear. When I am on the regular homepage (the one with the Most Popular videos, etc.) the banner is not there, in the upper left corner. When I am viewing videos, I have the same problem. I am speaking about the upper-left banner, the one that stands left of the search bar. I have to say that on some other browsers, I get the banner where it is supposed to be (IE8, IE9, Chrome).

I would appreciate the help. Thank you, Nuker.

See:

  • A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?) on the left end of the location bar.
  • A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
  • Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
  • Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
  • If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you very much cor-el! Indeed the problem was that all the images from ytimg.something (which I guess is the server for images on YouTube) were blocked. (the box was checked). I unchecked it and now everything looks fine :) (there were some other little images that were missing from the website, like little X buttons from each category of videos).

Anyway, everything works fine now.

Thank you very much!

Nuker.
