Yep. Now this one seems to be a bit rare and random. This has happened to me ever since YouTube changed the layout design. When the new design was being planned back in the early to mid of 2011, YT realeased a beta trial of the software patch they called "YouTube Pengiun", for whatever reason. Maybe it wasn't called that, I just recall seing a pengiun somewhere. Creepy bugger too. Anyway, all was fine untill they forced us all over to the new design. Now obviously with a new design comes bugs, there's many out there such as the unsubscribe bug, flash player issues, etc, but this one is rather interesting...:

Yeah. Now when I took the trial, I didn't have that bug, it looked like this:

That's from Chrome. Chrome is the only browser that hasn't got the bug. FireFox and Opera do, however. Since I use FF as my main browser, I'm wondering if anyone else has this bug and if there's any patch or fix for it. I've Googled for the last half and hour but couldn't find anything. A mate of mine claims it only happends on rare occasions to him, through FireFox. Never happens on IE however.

Cheers for any help :)

EDIT: Since this has all been happening, my CPU and RAM usage for Firefox, particularly on YouTube videos has skyrocketed. To the point of my CPU being under 80% load with only FireFox and Word open. FF also uses around 800MB - 1GB of memory, since I now have 8GB. This might be due to actual Firefox and a time coincidence, however, since latest patches have been having hardware issues.

^This.

I have no clue what your issue is, nor have I never experienced it in my life, therefore I cannot comment on how you would go about fixing such a problem.
 
Issues I get with youtube are.

Random video restarts(watching a ETCG video then bam plays from start and I did nothing)
Video player does not load but you can hear audio
Black screen with no loading

That occurred to me yes, which kinda wonders me why your post explaining why the thread was dead was needed... but I was hoping someone else would see the thread and reply with some help.

In reality it's kinda a first world issue, I've gotten used to the buttons, but it's annoying and I'd prefer it to be normal. If not it's no big deal just, yeah.
