Safari/Firefox and Youtube

Featured Replies

Over the last few days it has been impossible to access Youtube with either Safari and Firefox (latest versions installed). I get directed to a page asking me to upgrade Flash with the options of Install or remind me later. Clicking the latter just downloads a file 'setup.exe' which obviously is not a Mac OS application.

I have tried everything I know to the point of re-installing the OS, 10.9.2. I noticed Google (who own Youtube) seemed to be having problems also yesterday. I was unable to access any Google mail, although that seems okay today. Nothing seems to help. Any advice please.

works fine with Chrome 34.0.1847.131

Firefox has more-less become the new IE .. so i do stay away from it ..

specially every time i do start it (about once a month i been forced to update it .. not exactly my style)

anyway for the osx flash player click here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_13_for_Mac_OS_X_10.6_-_10.9&os=OSX&browser_type=KHTML&browser_dist=Safari&d=Adobe_Photoshop_Lightroom_for_Macintosh&dualoffer=false

Thanks. I have the latest Flash Player for OSX installed. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it. No difference. What I cannot understand is why Youtube cannot work out I am running OSX and not Windows. Why download an .exe file?

I have just installed Chrome and I get the same message as I do with Safari and Firefox. Still cannot access Youtube because it says my version of Flash is outdated and downloads that setup.exe file. Where to now?

I was doing that as you wrote. Uninstalled Flash using their uninstaller. Installed the correct version for OS10.9 as per the site you mention. Still no luck. Safari, Firefox and Chrome all tell me to update Flash and download that setup.exe file. I need to do some more digging I guess

1. Check that your Date and Time are correct. If a page uses any https: elements an incorrect clock will cause it to fail.

2. Could be an issue with your ISP DNS or local ISP equipment. Try temporarily entering a Proxy IP/Port in your browser.

Open Proxies can be found using the following link Proxy Server List by Country.
Use the tab by the same name to select other countries, (many of the listed proxies are operated by Google)


If a proxy server works you may want to download and install HOLA! a browser extension (allows setting proxies or no proxy on a url by url basis).
