A Little Help With Web Site

[raf66]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. A recent "switcher" and Mac newbie here.

I just purchased a new iMac 20" with 2.66 mhz and 320G hard drive a few days ago and I couldn't be happier. I've been a Windows user my entire computer life and it feels good to make the switch. What a great machine!

One question I have for the group is why can I not get into youtube.com from Firefox? It takes me to the UK youtube.com site and I've tried several different ways to get into it, both directly and indirectly. The thing is, it works fine when I try to get into it through Safari.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

If you live in the UK then you'll get send to the UK youtube by default, if you dont live in the UK then something is wrong, but you can fix it simply:

Go to youtube in Firefox
In the top left you'll see the Youtube Logo, and just below in Blue "UK | English"
Press the "UK" then a menu will appear
Then press where you live
voila!

kastenbrust,

Thanks for the info. I tried that before posting. However, I do have some good news. No, I didn't switch to that low-cost insurance carrier. (Sorry, couldn't pass that one up). I cleared the cache and the private data (including cookies), quit Firefox, then restarted it and it worked.

Woohoo! My first tinkering with my iMac and it worked and nothing seems to be on fire.

Count yourself among the lucky few.
