Quick query about flash video and youtube

[dhnp]

Hell forum, I'm using Firefox 52.01 (32bit) and I did read an article recently about support stopping for certain content.

But I still wanted to ask the question explicitly.

Is it possible or not to watch youtube style videos using firefox, ?

It's not something I do a lot of, but I can not even connect with youtube at all since the latest browser update.

Perhaps there is a plugin or setting that I could turn on and off (about once per week) to access this type of content

Any advice appreciated

Thanks in advance !!

Flash is still supported in Firefox as is HTML5, both of which may be used by web sites for videos.

When you say you can't connect to youtube, what do you actually see? Is it just a blank page, or do you see an error message? If you do please post the message without paraphasing.

By default, Youtube should be using HTML5, not Flash.
Flash has nothing to do with your connection to YT.
