Youtube videos not loading - FIXED - found a solution, SmartVideo add on for Firefox, Pale Moon
I was having awful problems playing youtube videos, they wouldn't load and always stalled, just stopped playing and wouldn't restart, also error messages, etc. really getting bad!

Don't know where I found this SmartVideo add-on for Firefox, which I am using with Pale Moon, probably someone posted it on here or I was searching for the solution.

It works great, the videos buffer before they start playing, and they don't seem to get hitched up at all once they start.

I'm using it on Pale Moon browser.

I think I did something with the settings but I don't know what. I was in the settings before I even tried it.

Anyway it works, you might give it a shot.

Also I will pass along that I has a problem on one machine where youtube videos wouldn't play at all, always got an error, and it was because there were no speakers or headphones hooked up to the computer, I plugged some headphones in and that solved that. I think that can happen when your system is muted too. So keep that in mind (if they haven't fixed that stupid glitch yet).

If this helps someone else, that would be good. It's been working for me ever since I installed it - no more freezing up in the middle of videos. You do have to wait a minute for them to load, but after that they play successfully. Nice to get rid of a source of frustration!
