Ever since I updated to v37 browsing Youtube has been a nightmare. I get the spinning wheel for 20 seconds adn than an error. I refresh and it finally works but I have to do this for every video. I have disabled all of my addons and it still happens. I have checked and made sure Java/Flash are all up to date and they are. I have tried using the html5 player but it still takes forever to load. I was hoping 37.2 would fix things but it hasnt. Why is watching videos on youtube such a hassle but when I try using Chrome it loads up immediately without any errors. Solutions? THanks

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
