Firefox/Youtube problem....

[Chuck Wintle]

Not sure if it has anything to do with an autostart plug in or not.

One of my browsers does pretty much nothing. The other plays a few fames of the video.

Both have auto start set.

Did your browser get upgraded recently or did you add a feature?

no I only reset the browser because it was acting up....after a bit of finagling it is more less as it was. Plus the change to the video does not help.

Something that I find useful on Firefox is troubleshoot mode. It's under my 'help' menu. If that doesn't work there's probably something going on with the web site.

Youtube has been making a lot of changes recently so I wouldn't necessarily blame your browser. The Youtube Roku app recently would start playing the video in the thumbnail preview if you moved your "cursor" over that video. Really annoying, but I found a setting to turn it off.

I have also noticed that on my devices, and it's a positive from my POV.
There's a little speaker icon there; besides the closed captioning, if I find I want to "play" the video, I do the hover, click the speaker to hear the dialogue and there's NO COMMERCIALS!

I wasn't aware of the no ads thing with the previews. I pay for Youtube Premium so I never see any ads unless I am not logged into Youtube.
