Explorer and FireFox

[MissKat]

Both Fire Fox and Internet Explorer stop responding every time I try to watch a video on You Tube. It was working just fine last night but today it wont work at all.

Try restoring to last night, before this happened.

Just remembered that I installed flash player because at one point it told me I needed it. After I installed it that's when they would both stop responding when any like of video would play. Could it be the flash player?

 

[Lordbob75]

Yeah. Make sure you have the right one installed.

Hi, I have the same problem since I installed Mozilla Firefox, now I'm installing Adobe Flash Player, hope it works.

 

[susi]

Oh, god, I re-installed Adobe Flash Player, but I still can't open you tube website or watch videos. What exactly I should install so that I can watch videos.

I just did a clean install on my computer so there was no flash player. I did all of what you said but it didn't work. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I still can't watch any videos on Fire Fox or Internet Explore.

You need the plugins. Are you 32bit or 64? Both require flash to display video from the likes of you tube, hulu, et al

Let us know if you need help and JMH's suggestions work

The thing is, Ive only seen a plugin link for 10.1 so far and no actual link for the player.

I'm running a 64bit OS. How do I get plugins for it?

Make sure you did:

1. go to adobe Flash Player download site
2. select different Operating system/browser
3. Select your OS (probably Win 7, Vista, Xp what ever you have)
4. Then Make sure you select for Firefox 'other browsers' and for IE 'Internet Explorer'
5. Download and install

Hope this helps.
