Youtube videos won't load.

more options

For some reason half of the videos I try to watch on Youtube no longer load. Some will load fine, while others will just show the spinning wheel. When I hover over the time I can see the frames, but the video never starts. I have tried EVERYTHING on your support page: restart computer, downloaded latest versions of XYZ, cleared cookies and cache, etc. Please help me fix this problem.

Nope. The problem still exists. I've cleared the history and cache multiple times. I've done the safe mode. I restarted my computer again. Nothing.

Start Firefox inSafe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I'm in Safe Mode and the problem is still here. Nothing changed.
