| Re: Youtube hacked ! | SpaceFlow | 7/1/12 6:59 AM | That is weird. Try to use: https://www.youtube.com/ It's safer and I usually get stuff to work that doesn't work with http:// - Space |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | Dubsteppa | 7/1/12 7:20 AM | I tried that, but still i get this message: The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

| Re: Youtube hacked ! | Dubsteppa | 7/1/12 7:47 AM | Hmm, i tried opening youtube using Chrome, it is ok, but in firefox it doesn't open. I had installed some add on for unblocking youtube videos which are not allowed in my country, and that add on uses proxy, so probably its because of that add on. |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | JDoors | 7/1/12 9:06 AM | Thanks for the update. There have been a few recent posts about a browser add-on causing serious issues. |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | Dubsteppa | 7/1/12 1:37 PM | No problem, but the funny thing is, i tried disabling/removing the add on (ProxTube) and it still doesn't open youtube. So whats the problem now? |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | JDoors | 7/1/12 2:05 PM | I'm not the expert you need but there are files that your browser "looks at" before they go to sites, the "hosts" file for one, and the add-on might have made a permanent change to one of those files. It can sort of "re-map" one site to go to another |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | GgleSD | 7/1/12 2:34 PM | Make sure Firefox is up to date at least version 13.0.1 or higher. |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | anmoose | 7/1/12 2:56 PM | Sigh..... No!! Firefox does NOT have to be updated to the latest version, and it has absolutely no bearing on this issue. In fact, Firefox is notorious for releasing buggy updates. Best practice is to stay at least one debugged version behind the la |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | bitterslumber | 7/1/12 2:57 PM | update your browser and you should be fine |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | GgleSD | 7/1/12 3:02 PM | anmoose is still living in the past in the good old days. He just may have one of those bad version you just mention y/n? |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | anmoose | 7/1/12 3:07 PM | @GgleSD, kindly read the information provided by the OP. |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | GgleSD | 7/1/12 3:11 PM | I did and I look at his screen shot error page. Update the dam browser |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | Dubsteppa | 7/1/12 6:10 PM | Firefox is up to date. But it must be something with the add on, because: 1) If its some kind of malware, it should be not working on any browser 2) It opens that page, only when i enter youtube 3) The add on is for unblocking videos on youtube Every |
| Re: Youtube hacked ! | KATSMA5H | 7/7/12 7:19 PM | I have the exact same problem and I have no clue on what to do about it. |
