A Problem With Firefox

[doktornpro]

Hello, I really hate asking for help, but since this is the only tech forum I have used and trust I didn't know where else to turn.

 

So I didn't really change anything that i know of, but when I just went to youtube it looked very basic, as if it was only running off of html and not css, but to be honest I am not that experienced in programming languages to locate the problem. This only happens when I use firefox.

 

 

 

 

Here's an image of what I see :

Have you tried Ctrl + F5?

Yup, didn't work

Yup, didn't work

clear cache

 

if that doesnt work, reinstall firefox

 

when downloading, make sure to click systems and languages and then down the 64 bit one (English US)

This happens at my college whenever there is an SSL error on one of the domains hosting a resource. I'd guess your version of Firefox must be behind in expiry dates for root certificates. Either that or Google may be actively working on the site. Try updating your browser or downloading a different version of Firefox (Waterfox/Nightly/Dev Edition) or just use a different browser.

Just to let you know, only the installer .exe is 64 bit, not the actual Firefox binary. Mozilla only recently compiled a real 64-bit firefox binary during December last year, and that's still in BETA as far as I know. Waterfox is the only working 64-bit variant of Firefox as far as I know.

Yea this sounds very possible, but I have done many things to this version of firefox and don't really wanna reinstall firefox. Is there a way I can fix the issue with my current version of firefox so I can use yt normally ?

Backup your firefox user profile folder, which can be found in

%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Uninstall Firefox, re-install, and then restore your user data. The profiles folder contains themes, history, logins, extensions, addons, but NOT plugins e.g. flash, silverlight.

The Firefox binary IS 64-bit in STABLE. You can read this on Mozilla's site.

Maybe reset Firefox? Back up your profile.

Ok, thanks for telling me that, but will my tabs be restored ? Or will i have to copy the links to a notepad ?

Ok I will Backup and replace the folder after i have reinstalled firefox, thanks for all the help guys ! I will make sure to copy the links too.

 

Oh and one last question, how should i backup the folder ? should i just go back to that location after installing firefox again and replace the new profile folder that would be created with the old one ? Also isn't there a chance that this could return the issues with yt ?

It's an issue with Adblock Plus blocking a CSS on YouTube. Either wait for them to fix it, add an exception or use something better, like uBlock Origin.

 

There were posts on /r/firefox about it.

Ah. Thanks for the info

Turn off adblock use uBlock Origin instead as it doesn't cause issue with websites.
