As of today, Youtube will not load. There have been other threads with the same problem, but no solutions have been listed. I have already tried disabling all of my extensions, no luck. I have already cleared my cookies/cache from youtube, no luck. What the heck firefox?

Chosen solution

it works in troubleshoot mode, It must be something with extensions...

Okay it worked once in troubleshoot mode, but then not again. Doesn't make any sense.

tried disabling hardware acceleration. Nothing.

tried disabling ipv6

tried copying every thread with the same problem.

its just broken for no reason out of nowhere, my png file of the site wont upload here either so thats cool

EDIT: I signed out of all accounts and now it works again. Well that was easy...

WHAT THE FUCK, it worked but only once. Now its back to not loading a single thing.

if i copy and paste a link, i can watch the video but the rest of the page is black. EDIT: University reset the wifi (without me asking) and now it works again.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

As a test, disable your protection programs.

The WiFi is also a computer. And sometimes computers freeze. The only remedy is to do a reboot.
