you tube assistance???

Hi...

bear with me and i'll try and explain this best i can..

if i am watching a youtube video and attempt to click on another one to start a new vid...i am getting a box come up..not via internet, via my laptop asking me to save or download the file...it wont just play it straight away on youtube..

is it a problem with youtube, firefox or my pc...

any help at all....

sorry if i aint explained it too well and i'll try harder should this baffle everyone..

just looked and this is what it says...

You have chosen to open

Watch
which is a: application/octet-stream
from: https://www.youtube.com

What should Firefox do with this file?

Open with Browse
Save File

Does it happen with 'Firefox (safe mode)' too?

EDIT: I assume you know how to run Firefox in safe mode... By doing so you can disable all add-ons (likely to be the cause) and reset settings.
If the problem stops try enabling add-ons one by one until it breaks and you've found your culprit (assuming you have add-ons that is).

buggered if i know mate....

its only started happening since i got the newest version...i'll check..if i can..lol

thanks mate..

cracked it i think...

thanks for your help turnip...it seems as if it was the downloader that comes as add on for firefox...

thanks again me old china..

Glad you got it sorted...

the firefox addin can be a nuisance ... i use a small program called ORBIT (free) which includes GRAB++ (for grabbing video files from utube and google)

this will allow you to move the mouse over a playing utube vid and get the message GET IT!, which will allow you to grab the video you want ... stops the annoying popups to save, especially when you dont want them

simply disable or remove the plugin in firefox!

Ah cheers CSI, i'll have some of that meself...

can anyone help me create a youtube page. the channel page. i have seen some of the how-to videos but none were of standard. i want to change the background with an image and stuffs.

thanks
