Pale Moon forum

Just switched to pale moon from chromium. Really like it so far.
normally on youtube you get an advert at the beginning of some videos, and you get a skip advert after.. button to press.
Normally when I press this the main video starts to play but on pale moon the advert just keeps repeating!
Anyone else have this happening?
pale moon ver. 27.4.0 32bit
only addons I have are:
Last pass (had this on chromium too)
Complete youtube saver

I've also had this happen with a different browser. It seems to be something new on Google's end conflicting with Flash. Flash seems to take a second to load, while in the meantime the video will start already playing the HTML5 version.

I was able to circumvent the issue by disabling Flash -- Youtube works with HTML5 entirely so it's not a problem there.

Thanks I will disable flash for a while.

have flash disabled but it is still happening!

I do not get any repeating ads in YouTube using 64 bit linux Pale Moon (27.4.0).

Use "ublock" it never happen. I am using it for disable ad.

I am on a 32bit machine so that is not an option
I don't want to use ublock as I prefer to use a system wide hostsfile, and the behaviour didn't happen on Chrome, Chromium Opera and some others.

@paleface2

What linux distro are you using?

@ Night Wing
Using Arch 32bit
Anyway I have got rid of the problem by installing the addon "No script" and blocking scripts on youtube and then installing "Grease Monkey" and using a script with it to automatically play videos using vlc media player.
Now I don't even see any ads the video I click on just plays in vlc. So I am now glad I had this problem!

I use Arch 64-bit at work with 64-bit Pale Moon and do not have this problem. I do run AdBlock Prime though...

Just started gettin these neverending coke ads too, can't skip em (flash is set to ask, so I suppose issue is server side)
I don't mind ads as long they behave and can be skipped after a moment..
(oh yeah happens on PM27.4.1 linux with hosts block & 27.3.0 OSX with no blocking)

odd,
I have never had such issues with you-tube in pale moon,in fact i have never had any problems at all.No ads .I use linux lite with UBO.
