OK, I didn't know where to post this, so i'll put it here.

Anyway, i went on youtube using Firefox and none of the videos will play for some reason. This appears to be after a recent FF update, as things used to work before.

Anyone know a fix for this? Which plugin does Youtube use?

Thanks

Firefox is so far superior to IE, I don't know what your talking about :P

But honestly, I've never had it crash on me...

I hope thats sarcasm. IE is far less stable and has many more bugs than firefox.

As for the question - I'm using the latest version of firefox and youtube vids load fine.

Your doing something wrong mate lol i've used firefox for a few years now and only problem i ever had was losing my bookmarks, which is easily fixed.

And to the topic creator, re-install your plugins (specifically flash player from the Adobe website) sometimes firefox updates remove plugins.

Firefox is a bit better than IE, but IE 7 is pretty good too. Firefox definitely crashes from time to time.

Firefox is a great STANDARDS BASED web browser that is very stable and has a feature set far superior to that of IE. Plus since it is standards based, when I'm making websites they display correctly THE FIRST TIME, with Firefox, with no added tweaking, gotta tweak everything for IE.

Yeah it will crash occasionally, but IE does as well, but at least Firefox has the "Restore Previous Session" function =).
