Does disabling ABP solve your problem?

Can you provide an issue report for one of the troublesome videos?

The first thing I noticed is that you have 2 general filter subscriptions. EasyList and Fanboy's, you should really remove one (every extra list you add will increase your chances of experiencing issues and make it harder to track them down).

You also have a user created filter

Code: Select all

Does removing that help ?

Can you test it with only EasyList active and then do the same with Fanboys list (see if you can narrow down the subscription or even the filter responsible).

hi,

I'm using win 7 on my desktop, FF4 and having this problem too.
My laptop which has win7 and FF3.6 works fine.

The video doesn't load neither does the ads.
