I've had this problem since yesterday, youtube videos will not load, not even the ads(example pic below). all i'm getting is a blank player with the buffering symbol.

I've tried other browsers to no avail, tried clearing cache, firefox safemode, re-installing adobe flash, reinstalling Java, reinstalling firefox, restarting the router, i even tried a system restore. Virus scans came up clean, theres no issue with my firewall blocking it, other computers on my network will play just fine, just not my pc.

Running the latest version of firefox, flash, java, etc.

Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds like this is not a firefox related issue, since youtube will not load on any other browsers as well. Have you tried enabling/disabling "hardware accelaration" ?

Separate Security Issue: Update your Adobe Reader Version 2015.016.20039 Note: Other Software is offered in the download.

Are you using any blocking programs / add-ons?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
