I saw Firefox updated to 29 last night. Ehh, if I wanted Chrome, I'd download chrome. But I always give updates a shot. Now many Youtube links no longer load up for me. I've cleared cache and cookies, no dice. I've updated flashplayer and also tried setting youtube to use html5. When a video wont load, the comments wont either. With html5 enabled, I can at least see the comments. If I try in IE11, they come right up. I never thought I'd see the day where I say something is working better in IE than FireFox.

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:

  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

I forgot to mention but I did that as well. The only addons I have currently are AdBlock Plus, Download them all (rarely used) and Mouse Gestures Redox.

I tried disabling all individually, same behavior.
