You're right, IE11 and Edge cannot connect to that site even on Windows 10. Firefox 72 however, can.

I'm on the 52.9.1 ESR version because it is the very last version of official Firefox which is XP compatible. It also supports all plugins. I'm afraid I've no idea if "slack" will still work for you with 52 ESR, I'm afraid that the only way to find out is to try it! I would try installing 52.9.1 ESR as a separate installation into a new folder, which should not affect the existing installation, and give it a try. If it works OK, I would update your existing installation of 52 to 52 ESR. If there are still problems with YouTube then, it will be a lot easier for me and others to try and diagnose. At the moment we don't know what effect it not being the ESR version could be having.

Both the videos that are failing for you are OK here. Interesting that you have the banner saying that some plugins are no longer supported. Just to confirm, you are using the ESR version of Firefox 52? If not, that could well be the problem.

Please don't duplicate threads. As your first thread had no replies, I guess no-one else here is using that type of printer.

The videos on both your links work fine here on Firefox 52.9.1 ESR. What HTML5 support do you have in your browser, is it the Adobe Primetime Content Decryption Module? That's what I'm using.

The ad blocking nag banner has come back again for me. I changed my ad blocker from Adblock Plus to uBlock Origin recently, so I don't know if that might be the cause, it's disabled on this site of course. As a Platinum Sponsor I shouldn't be seeing any ads anyway!

Thanks!

Just another update, later today I had another PM, and this time I did get an e-mail notification!

Saw I had another two PMs when I came here this morning. Still no e-mail notifications for them.

I had two PMs today, and didn't get an e-mail notification about either of them, although they were flagged when I went to the board. I am still getting notifications for new posts on threads I'm subscribed to though. Looks like something is definitely broken somewhere..........

To be fair, he is right though if the source code was illegally leaked. Quite why Opera are still being so possessive about Opera 12 years after they abandoned it is anyone's guess, but it is their property until they say it isn't any more.

Lovely though it would be, as IMO Opera 12 is the best browser ever produced, I suspect Roy has enough on his plate already without starting to pick apart another completely different browser!

It certainly is, especially when they deliberately stop the installers working on an operating system where the software actually still works fine! Oracle Java is a prime example.

How charming! Saying that sort of thing to a forum supervisor, even if it was in jest, is not a good idea!

The usual one is here - https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html You have to accept the licence agreement as usual, but annoyingly you now also have to log in to Oracle as well, which means you have to register with them. It's not a big issue to do that though, and I've never had spam from them or anything like that. There may well be other places you can get the file if you don't want to do that. HTH.

FWIW, Java 8 Update 241 seems to be now out, I was just prompted to update to it on Windows 10.

Ah, all is revealed!

Well it looks, unsurprisingly, as graph.exe is involved with the handling and creating of graphs in Office programs. Maybe that's a facility that I haven't got installed, I've only got the bits of Office installed that I actually need to use, Outlook isn't installed for instance. Graph.exe is there on my Windows 10 installation of Office 2010, but only in install source folders, not in the program folders, so I guess that's the same scenario. KB4484243 is an update for Excel, the program executable and the converter, so I guess it wouldn't install if Excel wasn't enabled?

Off topic again, but there's no sign of the new Edge here today, it wasn't included in the Patch Tuesday updates as I thought it might be. It's probably updated using the normal app update mechanism though, so there's still time, although it didn't appear on a manual update check on the Microsoft Store.

Two updates this month, KB4484243 and KB4484236. Several minutes of scanning on Microsoft Update again, but it found them eventually. No problems with either of them. Strangely, the second update only updates a file called "graph.exe", which doesn't seem to exist on my system!

OK, so what did he mean by "I'm positive that Chrome 360 is based on a newer version of Chromium solely on the fact that it is the only XP browser that can load the new YouTube desing (sic)." I assume the last word should have been "design"!

Well, I look forward to Patch Tuesday then, can't wait to see if the new Edge looks any different. I don't use it on Windows 10 anyway, I use Firefox.

So Extreme Explorer 360 is the only XP browser that displays the new YouTube GUI on older hardware, and that's what @Windows 2000 meant?

What new design is that? YouTube looks exactly the same to me on Firefox 52 ESR on Windows XP as it does on Firefox 72 on Windows 10. Should I be seeing something different on Windows 10?

It doesn't look very old to me, the fact that it (presumably) has a touch screen rather than hardware buttons would bear that out.
