I accidentally blocked videos on YouTube!

Asked by bhec10 (6458points) September 7th, 2009

I’m running Firefox 3.5.2 and accidentally hit a button that said “block” in the middle of the screen… Next thing I know I can’t play any movies at all!!

The pages load perfectly but there’s not a video player on the screen :/

What did I do and how do I undo it?
Thanks

Maybe updating/reinstalling your flash player might help…But that just th efirst wild guess popping up in my mind…

Go to the Firefox website and look in the help section.

I once did this too, on accident. Just go to “tools” in your Firefox browser, open up the “Adblock” app that allows you to block stuff, then find the URL and unblock it (it will be http://www.youtube.com). Just uncheck it and it will work again.

Ok. I have the same problem with accidentially blocking YouTube, but I’ve gone to Adblock and unchecked all YouTube addresses, and still YOuTube is black when I try to view.

Any more suggestions? ??
