Hi. I've mostly made the switch from IE to Firefox and so far like it much better, but I'm having a little problem. When I watched videos on IE I could sit and watch as many as I wanted to without problem. Now, with Firefox, I may be able to watch 1 or I may be able to watch 4, but that 2nd or 5th video will not load and play. I just tried it again and I was able to watch 2 videos, but the 3rd video is stuck on "Loading" in the tab and "Waiting for youtube" down on the status bar. And at this point I can't just go back to youtube's front page, but have to close that tab and start again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Hi Dan. Thanks for answering. I'm so new to Firefox that I don't know what "creatng a new profile" means. Does it involve Greasemonkey? 'Cause I have that installed on the browser.

No, it has nothing to do with Greasemonkey. You need to open Profile Manager:
To open Firefox's Profile Manager, click Start>>>Run, type firefox.exe -p in the field, and click OK. Note the space after exe, it is important.
Once its open, follow the directions to create a new profile.
Before doing that, you might try opening Firefox in Safe Mode, to see if you have an extension causing the display problem.
