I want to know how I can re-activate the necessary plug-in in order to access youtube again.

I tried to watch a video on youtube.com, but every time I did, a message would pop up about allowing plug-ins for this site. Well, I'm not too good with the computer, and I accidentally hit "Never for this Site." Now I can't activate ANY youtube videos. How can I "reverse" my action, so that I CAN activate youtube videos? Thanks for your help.

Type about:permissions into the location bar. Search youtube.com and hit the result. To the far right, hit forget about this site.

You should be able to load youtube vids now.

Or you can only change the permissions for the plugins and possibly others to the default on the about:permissions page or in Tools > Page Info > Permissions if you have YouTube open in the currently selected tab.

  • Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
