Shows a goofy little switch at the top. Would could be the cause? An extension?

YouTube is fine here. Try safe-mode (Help -> Restart with Add-ons Disabled).

Re: YouTube page is black. No videos, nothing.
the blank page and black box are what you get when using flash at youtube. google has dropped flash support in youtube in favor of html5. to enable html5 in firefox, copy and paste this about:config setting in the address bar, click the "I'll be careful" warning. double click on the mediasource entry to change it from false to true.
if you have trouble following my instructions, see another explanation here:

Code: Select all
about:config?filter=media.mediasource.enabled

"True" is the default setting so unless the OP has changed it previously to "False", that's unlikely to be the cause.eisneun wrote:the blank page and black box are what you get when using flash at youtube. google has dropped flash support in youtube in favor of html5. to enable html5 in firefox, copy and paste this about:config setting in the address bar, click the "I'll be careful" warning. double click on the mediasource entry to change it from false to true.if you have trouble following my instructions, see another explanation here:Code: Select all

Also, I changed it to False in FF myself, but I can still play YT videos.

@ brinkeguthrie, try disabling Hardware Acceleration. See instructions with screenshot here: http://techdows.com/2017/08/firefox-55- ... ation.html

I guess you use the "Magic Actions for Youtube" add-on. Disable or remove that and everything will work fine again. I recommend using "Enhancer for YouTube" instead. It's more up to date and has more nice features than "Magic Actions" IMHO.

Re: YouTube page is black. No videos, nothing.
I came across a similar problem this morning which was on the http://www.securitytracker.com/ site. That's black as well, but easily overcome by launching NoSquint Plus which I already have installed.
When you click the extension button you'll see an option on the menu panel which opens to change the background colour to white, or to remove a background image.
