For the past ... I really don't know how long now, most of the time I just gave up, but I'm finally fed up with it ... YouTube has been displaying "An error occurred, please try again later" on any video I try to play; embedded or on YouTube, it doesn't matter.
Safe mode does not resolve the problem.
The only way I can get it to work is by (1) using a separate, clean Firefox profile (-no-remote -profile "x:\path\to\clean\profile"), (2) trying a different browser or (3) completely resetting Firefox (I manually backed up my main profile directory before doing this).
But: copy pasting the URL into a different profile or browser for every video is a pain in the arse and resetting Firefox is not an acceptable solution. I have a ton of customized extensions that would take hours to reconfigure. And, as I mentioned, safe mode (ie.: disabling the extensions) does not fix the problem.
Has anyone actually got to the root cause of this ridiculous error?
