    Firefox 3.5 .. issues?

    is anyone else having issues loading up video's on youtube saying "unable to view video, please try again later" or some crappy message like that? I'm getting it on a lot of vid's I've been trying to watch lately and wondering if its just me or if others are experiencing it.

    I haven't had that problem specifically, but it seems some thing load faster and other things (usually videos) load slower, especially on Youtube.

    Wouldn't that be a problem on YouTube's end, or do you have no problems in other browsers?

    Haven't had issue with youtube, only after leaving the browser open for about 2-3 days with all I browse the memory usage gets to about 400MB and it starts getting slow/sluggish ;/

    I'm having this issue... it started happening after I updated NoScript.

    Only issue I've been having with 3.5 is sometimes the videos on espn.com will crash it.

    I had this issue with youtube since firefox 3.xx. Might be an addon issue. I don't touch IE.

    No clue what the issue is, but is randomly annoying.

    So what is you guys rating on 3.5? I am really undecided on switching. On my main computer I still run 3.3 and on my laptop i'm on 3.4.. Got rid of that gay smart bar on 3.4

    I miss some of my old plugins until they get updated/compatible, but I like it for the most part. I hate the issue at hand where youtube videos bork the moment I view them right from the site. If you want to use private browsing like in google chrome, you can do so, too, from the tools menu.

    I got mine. You should be good :D

    Edit: btw it's not all youtube vids that bork, the vast majority of them will play when viewed (assuming proper embedding and/or view from youtube site)

    Hm. Yeah, I'm okay with Firefox 3.5. It seems faster, and that was on my older PC. The new upgrade, I haven't had a chance to compare, but memory whorage doesn't seem too terrible. I haven't had issues with youtube just yet. I have cases where it'll load slow sometimes, but that's just because youtube's like that for pretty much everyone at times.

    Also, I just saved my bookmarks and imported them when I got Firefox 3.5, and I use the default skin, so I didn't need that. NoScript and Adblock+ also were fine for me, so I dunno. I'd do it though, don't see why not. The "Private Mode" is nifty even though I know it's done on other browsers too.
