    (I hope this i the right place:o as i cant find a computer section)

    I want to watch stuff on youtube as I always do but today I cant seem to play videos,the small screen part where you watch videos just stays black.
    I have tried to use Internet Explorer and it works but take forever to load (i dont use IE anyway) its with Firefox i am having this problem.

    Is anyone else having this problem?:confused:
    If anyone knows how to fix it would they be able to tell us thanks

    unless im mistaken I think there's a problem with the broadband. Mine keeps disconnecting every few minutes, sometimes second.
    Saw a thread a few minutes ago people saying theyre having problems.
    I too cannot get youtube working on my computer.

    is it with all videos or just some?

    i had trouble with music videos and some video's from E3 the last few days , isue was the same as your's OP , yet i had no trouble with anything on the frontpage of youtube, or playing stuff from random searches like cats or dogs or funny animals etc etc etc.

    I have this problem with Firefox and Youtube. Its 50/50 whether a youtube page will load or not, if it does load the video always plays and loads quick. But if the page doesn't load i have to keep refreshing until it does.
    Youtube works perfectly with Opera.

    How do i update Flash in Firefox?

    Reinstalled flash and still haveing the same problem, youtube won't load in Firefox everytime, sometimes it will and some times it won't without you F5ing a few times.

    Still works perfect in Opera.
    If only Opera had DownloadHelper then i'd use that instead

    I have found out that the Download Hepler Plugin for Firefox is causing problems for youtube to run very slowly or not load at all. Uninstall the plugin and it works fine.
