Firefox Problem with YouTube Videos

Jim Cohen · From: Philadelphia, PA

Several people have noted that they have a problem of Firefox stalling after playing 2 seconds of a YouTube video when visiting www.SteelGuitarJazz.com but that this doesn't happen with IE or other browsers. I wrote to my host company to see if they could help and they said that this is indeed a known glitch with Firefox and that many people are experiencing it as well. They sent me the following blog link about it, which contains several suggestions about how to fix the problem. As far as I can tell, each proposed solution works for some systems and not for others, so it looks like trial and error is needed. Anyway, if you're interested to spend the time on this, here's the link:

One cause of YouTube playback problems is out-dated Flash Players. The current version, as of December 14, 2008, is: 10.0.12.36. I have also read accounts where uninstalling Apple's Quicktime Plug-in for Firefox resolved this issue. Free-codecs.com offers an alternate free replacement for Quicktime, featuring its Media Player Classic.
