I was watching a youtube video, clicked on a new youtube link, and lost everything. Re-booted & restarted, no luck. Shut down & re-started, no luck. Went to youtube via internet explorer and had no problems (I don't like explorer......but). I'm running version 3.6.18 because it allows me to save my opened links. Youtube/Google have been hassling over account permissions and other control issues. I seem to have to update every time I log in or try to access youtube, but I don't believe it has anything to do with the issue. Below is just one of the links.

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.

Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache 

or

Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]

Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.
