Yesterday I was able to play one YouTube video, but every one after that came up as a silent black box, with Firefox claiming to have finished loading. The problem persists today, but not in Chrome. Is it just me? I might have enabled some form of NoScript-type "protection" without knowing.

Another question is whether I should just get used to using Chrome all the time. I think Firefox still has its advantages, but...

There's a bug in Flash casing a few problems with videos in Firefox, make sure you're updated to the latest flash player, which is supposed to fix it.

Also be sure to clear your browser cache once a week. When you reach the limit, your computer can sometimes go through hard drive thrashing as it tries to delete and create space simultaneously.

OK, but I always need a reminder of how to do that.

Tools - Internet Options - Browsing History - Delete (if you use IE)

Firefox - History - Clear Recent History (for Firefox; make sure you uncheck the items you want to keep)
