Gezim Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have recently encountered a problem with Firefox and YouTube. Every time I open YouTube I get the following message. Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.Cookie: VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=uFhCxelgar4; watched_video_id_list_ -------------- And then keeps continuing with letters and numbers for a very long time.Apache Server at www.youtube.com Port 80 I did a bit of research and all I come down to is deleting my cookies and cache. I do this, it works then, but after about 10 min it goes back to not working. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermortalhuman Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Oh. Nevermind. Did you cross post this? Seems you are being helped at PSN forum. For the curious: I google this problem, and found he posted duplicates on a PS forum, and I saw his JOIN DATE and thought he copied pasted a 2007 topic from there LOL. It seems it was posted there as well, possibly the same person, as both start with a G. lol. Freaked me out, dude! I was like :whaaaaa: Edited July 3, 2009 by supermortalhuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star-Lord Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Update it to the latest version which is 3.5. That should fix your issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 First thing I would do, after clearing the cache and cookies (clearing the cookies rarely fixes things for me) Exit Firefox and go to the profile folder XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\ Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\ Rename it; example Mozilla-mine Run FF again and it'll create the folder, skip importing bookmarks from IE Recreate the problem; in this case go to youtube and do whatever you did before, same video (unless it's on all of them in which case just pick one). If you still have the same issues; then exit FF and uninstall it. Delete the profile folder (the new one not your old one) and delete the folder in Programs Files folder. Reinstall FF and recreate the problem as you did before. The problem might be an addon (extension) or a plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a problem that I never could figure out why it was happening in Firefox, and creating a new profile fixed it. Never figured out what the problem was 'cause I reinstalled all the same add-ons and there was no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
