Hi.

I have a problem with showing youtube thumbnails. In my firefoxbrowser youtube doesnt show any thumbnails. A day ago run everithing great, without any problems. But now, it just doesnt work. I tried to read a forums, and i tried everting. Worked just reinstalation of whole browser, but just for couple of minutes, and now it doesnt work again.

Could you recommend me some solution? Because, i love using firefox, but this is really uncomfortable. I´m sending attached also the screenshot of youtube.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Unfortunately, that did not help ...

Hello   Adam.

Would you please do this :

Type in the address bar   about:config   and press Enter.
(ignore the warning)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

image.webp.enabled

Make sure that its value is set to   true.

If you had to change the value, then close and restart Firefox.

Any luck ?

Hi.

I had it already set to true, so i tried to set to false, restart Firefox and then again set to true and restart, but that still doesnt work....

I'm really puzzled, cause you have done just about everything in the book (including reinstalling Firefox).

I've been searching to see if I could find something that you haven't tried yet, but to no avail ...... :(

This particular problem has been reported in many, many threads and for many years (not just with Firefox though),   as you can see in   these search results   and more in   these search results

Maybe you can find something there that you haven tried yet ...... (fingers crossed)

Hi, try deleting ALL references to YouTube. To do that, open the 3-bar menu > Library > History, then click the Show All History link at the bottom of the list to open the History-library window. Search for YouTube by typing it into the Search History field in the top-right corner. Now in the search results, right-click on YouTube, and select Forget About This Site. (Browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logins, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images and pop-ups for that site will be removed). Give it a few minutes to complete the deletion, then try the site (not from an old bookmark) again. More - Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.

You now have tried everything you possibly could,   just like all the other users over the years.

Would you give this a try though :

https://www.youtube.com/?disable_polymer=true

If that works, you could bookmark it,   or add it to your Top Sites on the new tab page.

And then wait till it somehow   "it fixes itself",   like so many things do with YouTube .....
