No longer working on YouTube

Post by Granada84 »

In the last few days/weeks ABP hasn't worked for me on some YouTube pages like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yQ_grujECk

With ABP enabled, the page loads, the play button appears, but the video is black and the play button unresponsive. But when I disable ABP on YouTube (by itself), the page reloads and the play button becomes responsive.

This happens on the majority of YouTube pages, especially ones with recent videos which makes me think they've implemented a code to mess with ABP.

Here are some relevant specs:

Firefox 38.0.5 on Windows 8
VPN enabled
Ghostery 5.4.5.1 and HTTPS-Everywhere 5.0.5 add-ons enabled

reinstall ABP, test again. If it works install the other addons you are using and test again.
