When on Youtube, I can't open videos by clicking on them when in the search result page. I have to open them in a new tab or window. All other elements work on the page. Once the video is open in the new tab I am able to play it. Embeded links work. It is only on Youtube itself. Fine in Safari. Only experiencing this in Firefox.

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
