Firefox can't play youtube videos (only from youtube, other video sites work well)

Since about a week ago firefox in my laptop can not read the youtube videos (only from youtube, videos from other sites and flash games work well), both on the site or embedded on another site. This shows only "an error has occurred. "Please try again later".
I use firefox 13.0.1 and the latest version of the flash plugin.
My laptop is i5 with win7 64 bit and it has clean, no viruses or malware.

I tried all the solution posted here, but nothing works.
I tried to uninstall - reinstall both firefox and flash, disabled add-ons, safemode, downgrade from earlier, flash, uninstall realplayer, changed the dns, reconfigured my modem, my curse what ISP (perhaps connection related?), still unable to play videos from youtube.

I tried to use different computer, I used my old pc winxp with the old version of firefox (with the same configuration as the firefox I use in my laptop) and my ipad, they can play videos, but playback is stuttering which never happened before.
Curiously, I've tried chrome (on the same laptop) and it works well, no stutters.
This problem has something to do with the firefox updates, updates, flash, both, or something else?

Please help me, I don't want to go back and forth between browsers just to see the video on youtube and I really want to change browser.
Thank you!

It's very strange... it will also be a very long shot, but it is possible that due to the long url (& feature = relmfu) it worked. I highly doubt this is the case.

I recommend not to clear your cookies, either of them or one of them to youtube.

And you've probably already tried this, but playing the video on the various quality parameters may do something.

And finally, have you tried to contact youtube/google on this subject, or restart your pc after making sure that all your stuff is up-to-date? (you have probably both)

  • Why the latest Firefox won't play YouTube videos

    Everything worked fine until the latest version of Firefox, now I can't play YouTube videos. No problem with Chrome or IE. Firefox screwed up something with their latest version. Problem started on 09/03/15.

    (2) enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled press ENTER.
    (3) make a right click on it and change to true, for some reason any, defined as 'false', which makes the MSE & WebM VP9 does not work correctly.

  • All of a sudden when I open Firefox it starts playing a video on youtube

    Previously, when I opened Firefox I had the normal home page. Now I have the normal home page but I can hear a youtube video starts playing in the background, and when I click on the tab I see that a movie began to play automatically. The movies are related to a topic, earlier I searched on Youtube, but it is not always the same, so, probably, I clicked on something I should not have done. I followed the suggestions of the internet on the home page reset and they did not work. Basically, I can now hear the sound from any video / movie to youtube I chose to play because of the noise from the other, unwanted, one in the background.

    Help! What should I do to resolve this issue and stop these videos?

    With our thanks, Kathryn

  • Firefox will not play many videos, sounds and other Html5 applications but Youtube is fine.

    No matter what are the options I change (I tried everything under subject: config), videos html5 play not (format not supported, etc wrong mime type.). On youtube, html5 player works fine.

    Examples of videos does not:

    flow using the html5 and formats like gif player also like gifv to imgur.

    My OS can all play, I installed Windows Media Player.

    All my preferences in topic amovible.*: config have a default value, and I tried to change things - without success.

    I also disabled all addons/plugins, tried another profile, tried the developer version of 64-bit. I had the same problem on my old computer (I did a clean install on a totally new computer and imported via MozBackUp settings). Firefox Safe mode will not help either.

    http://detectmybrowser.com/ tells me that I can play ogg but not h264 or webm. https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 told me that my firefox support everything that youtube needs.

    Once again, on Youtube, everything works (right click on the clip not gives me the possibility "about the HTML5 player"), elsewhere (for as far as I saw) I get "not taken in charge or false mime type error format.

    All I had to do was to start Firefox using administrator rights. So simple, yet I didn't on this subject! Why have I never tried this before? I managed to solve a lot of problems like this but never thought about Firefox could also be linked to it.

    In any case, thanks to all who responded, as well as all those who had to read all my rants in this thread!

  • Can't play m4v videos in Firefox.

    Hello. I was hoping that someone could help me with a problem. I have a html presentation for a class that I teach. (I have created the presentation.) It includes m4v videos and I can not play in Firefox. He said: "no video with format supported and MIME the type found. I can play the videos if I open them outside, but I need to work in the presentation. Help, please. Thank you.

    Firefox can not read files with the file extension .m4v via audio or video tag that those are not supported file extensions. You can only read these files via the object tag to use a plugin that supports this file Firefox extension. You can force it to use a specific plugin by specifying a type (type = "application/x-mplayer2").

    <object data="file://<path to file>" type="<to force a specific plugin>"></object>
  • Can't play YouTube videos via HDMI cable

    After you perform a search on this subject throughout this forum, I discovered most people go on wild tangents that are unrelated to the topic at hand. They can be fun; they can also be deep; but they are not answering my question. :-(

    Yesterday, I received my microHDMI to HDMI cable and was eager to try to play a YouTube via my TV. Make the right connection with the TV turned on and booted up the Xoom to the YouTube app. Nothing appeared on my TV screen.

    The cable is defective? I missed something in the translation? Later that night, I connected the Xoom to the TV again, this time only to the homescreen of the Xoom. The home screen is appeared on television! Joy! Then I tried YouTube through the browser instead of the YouTube app. Video opening appears on TV and the noise continued to play. BUT the image are remained frozen on the first frame of the video! :-(

    What should I try next? I'm very happy with everything I've tried so far on the Xoom, but it would be very useful to be able to play videos YouTube on the TV. More specifically, when I'm in the kitchen, cooking or baking, I was able to follow good food that are available there as well as some of the videos. If I succeed, I could even be encouraged to buy a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to control the Xoom to TV in the kitchen.

    Thanks to all those who provide knowledgeable advice-

    I just tried again to play YouTube in my Xoom via the HDMI cable using the YouTube app.

    It worked perfectly! I also tried a video on CNNNews and that worked too.

    Am unable to explain my failure yesterday, except - think - you polishing off a few gallons of Kentucky Bourbon could have an effect? ;-) ;-) ;-)
