Hello.
I am trying out noscipt.
I can't seem to play youtube videos.
I have allowed it to temporarily allow all and permanently allow all.
Still would not work.

I even added youtube to the whitelist. Still would not work.

I have to disable noscript to watch videos.
I can't seem to find any other people with the same problem.

My flash and firefox are up to date.

Thanks for any help.

Bob

Are you having trouble with Flash videos or HTML5 videos?
Example video URL that fails?

Flash videos (i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnBU8qqlysg&html5=0) work here with only www.youtube.com whitelisted, if you don't want to click the flash placeholder you'll have to whitelist ytimg.com as well

Even the link I posted doesn't work for you?
Something is really messed up... try Standard Diagnostic leaving noscript enabled the whole time (and installing it as needed)
Please let us know the results, thanx

Do you have Flash installed in FF?
What does about:addons -> Plugins show?

If I disable noscript I can play videos. Sometimes I will go to a website and it just starts blinking away almost to the point where it will crash the browser. To watch videos I have to disable noscript or copy the link and watch in IE. It also happens on websites that embedded videos. I have uninstalled and reinstalled noscript. My firefox and flash are updated. I have entered in the appropriate url's in the whitelist. I am running Windows 7 Home edition.
Not sure what to do anymore.I really can't believe i am the only one with this problem?

What other addons are you running?

Any messages from NoScript in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?

Uninstalling and reinstalling NoScript is not the standard diagnostic. Please read about creating a Firefox profile, and if nothing else works, then see whether NoScript works in a new profile.
