Worked for me and is very EASY for anybody! Type in ONLY the following on your Firefox address bar (about:config) and press enter.(That's a colon in between words).Enter. Will ask if you're sure, Click" I promise." You'll see your configurations. Scroll down to DOM Storage, which might be in BOLD, If it shows False, right click and then click reset,which will change it to True! I don't know anything about computers, but when I changed it to true, all was fixed using YouTube with Firefox 3.6.12!
@songnight Your welcome! I couldn't believe it either after reading all these complicated fixes that didn't work, until I stumbled on this one that worked so easily. I felt like I had to share this with people since it seems as if there are many who have or had this problem. Happy You Tubing!
I wonder if this happens with HTML5 and Youtube. I can't believe Flash still does this and there's no fix yet after all these years! I hate having to click somewhere to get my keyboard shortcuts working again. Thanks Adobe, no wonder why the iPhone OS doesn't use your technology!
my problems really weird. ever so often when i try and click on or search for a video the download helper pops up with a results or watch name and a blank file asking me to download something. idk what it is!
I have another problem. Half of the most viewed/popular screen video icons are blank (white) and I cannot see ratings as they too are blanked out in white. If i click on the ratings section it tells me that I have rated but I cannot see it.
This problem is specifically a foreground issue with plugins and applications for firefox 'stealing focus' of key controls, flash is the problem in this case.
since i downloaded firefox 3.0.6 google links bring up starsearchstar which takes me 2 random crap pages take ages 2 load and i have to refresh 5 times b4 youtube videos work and i still have 2 wait 5-10 minuits. now i hav 2 use google chrome which sucks.
infact, what is so wrong about moving your mouse up and clicking? is it like you can barely reach your mouse or is it that you are lazy and cant move your mouse a few inches.
I guess it's hard for me to explain this problem to people clearly.
This isn't a youtube thing, it's just a silly bug where the tab itself isn't the foreground item but the embedded content on a website becomes foreground, therefore control tab doesn't work anymore.
wish i could hear the firefox, youtube sound fix.

I am a keyboard user, not a mouse user, perhaps you should learn to read and understand keyboard shortcuts.

You must click outside the video to make the Ctrl-Tab work.

Firefox should have control tab ALWAYS control tab movement.

I totally agree with you buddy! I fckn hate this problem!
I've searched for a solution several times already but seams that no one notices it or cares... I DO! and you do also, as you made a video for it.
Thanks!
