1- I am forced to abandon firefox browser on desktop 2- I wont quit using firefox until mozilla keep fighting against google's discrimination 3- I am forced to see no proper error message 4- No proper reason is told to wait and try later 5- This war wont end

I hate google more than any company in this world.

Now every (not just any random ) video when play for 10 seconds shows me same ugly annoying message

"Something went wrong. Refresh or try again later"


NO refresh works later after one day or even after removing all the history and saved site data. Even re install of latest firefox has no effect on google. Changing user agent is not working either. Tor browser is the only way to watch any youtube video. BIG, GREAT AND MANY THANKS TO TOR NETWORK.

Tor is left for the only way i can have a little freedom to watch youtube videos.

My pain point is that why i am forced to abandon firefox. I have been using it for decades. I love it. Its my best browser ever.,

Why chrome is the only browser to be allowed to watch videos on you tube.

Even safari when used there is always warning saying your browser will not be supported in future.

Google is creating same kind of problems in Android OS too.

My friends, Let me ask, what our future under google umbrella?

I strongly encourage you to raise voice for browsers other than chrome especially for firefox.

I use updates on linux and my firefox is always latest. There is no chance of any corruption or security risk with firefox on linux. Google intentionally forcing me to use chrome.

I want you to help me if have any clue what is going on.
