The past few days I've noticed I can't fast forward a video I'm forced to watch the whole thing its been going on every video.

Mind you I'm using a laptop to watch the videos is anyone else experiencing this issue?

youtube has changed something. I can't expand the screen as I usually do using icon in the lower right corner. I move my cursor over it and ALL the bottom icons 'gray out' and a new one appears "open video page (i)" However nothing happens when I click on that one. I also can no longer change the volume. Anyone else have this problem?


I use Firefox

Okay, just checked the google page and everyone is having this problem! Are they trying to make us pay to get back the old features?

Switched to the Opera browser and everything works. I refuse to use Google Chrome. I don't trust that company so the less I interface with them the better.


I bet Firefox will upgrade their browser so we can use it on YouTube again.

The problem seems to have resolved itself it was pob a bug that YT/google has now squashed.

I googled it because it was happening to me. I click refresh the page button and now it works. Something to do with the cache.

You are contradicting yourself.

Google and Youtube ARE the same company in case you did not know.
