    Started a few days ago, when I try to play a youtube video I get a snowy screen saying "error please try again later"

    Youtube works on IE and I can uninstall Mozilla, reinstall it and youtube works for 2 or 3 minutes and then I get the error again.

    Anyone know why this might be happening?

    I thought I was the only one that got this. I tried a few things. I uninstalled whatever Flash Player's I could find (only found one despite installing it for IE and non-IE) and then rebooted, then it worked fine. You didn't mention giving that a try, you might have already... but see where it leads :)

    It's happening because you are using a stupid browser.

    I keep on having issues using Youtube with Firefox too nowadays.

    Good thing for Google Chrome.

    I used Mozilla for a long time and immediately switched to Firefox when it came out of beta. But eventually it started acting up on a semi-regular basis and I had to dump it for Chrome.

    No contest.

    Weird, I've been using Firefox for the last year and before that it was Chrome but I noticed my PC ran a slower with Chrome and my videos would freeze more often then not on Youtube and such through Chrome so I ditched Chrome for Firefox.

    Maybe I'm coming back to it.

    Go and download uninstall Flash and reinstall Flash. Firefox is still the best browser and Google Chrome is pure garbage.

    Chrome is garbage. Resource hog.
