ongoing problems with firefox & youtube, continually get 'This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.' error
This has been going on for over a week now. Only with firefox, I have no problem playing identical videos on Chrome or IE.
Also for over a week I have been getting "webm(vp8.0,+vorbis) medium" and a host of other info appearing top left in the video before playing.
I have tried disabling flash player and uninstalling/reinstalling firefox, plus emptied cache - all to no effect. Very frustrating as Firefox is my default browser of choice.
