YouTube videos start on mute by default

[PurpleGaga27 40]

I am having issues playing YouTube videos lately and I can't believe the **** that Google has been fooling around lately, changing the video rendering type, the look and now the default settings. In both Firefox and Chrome, every time I played a YouTube video(s), it always start on mute by default. Although I have enabled some plug-ins and block third-party cookies in all browsers, they have nothing to do with this because back then YouTube videos have played okay.

 

Does anyone else have this issue?

Try Youtube Center. It adds a lot of customizeable features to your youtube player, such as:

 

• Disabling "Dash" playback (you can pause and the whole video will load).
• Enabling auto repeat.
• Larger video screen by default
• You can set the default volume that each video will start playing at.

There's a lot more stuff, overall, it's a neat thing.

Thanks, but the Chrome add-on of the same title is better than the Firefox add-on.

I noticed that a few days ago too. I also somehow now have a Google+ account too.... Stupid Youtube.

Yeah, they try to merge Youtube accounts with Google+ all the time. Even if you deactivate G+, you'll get the prompt in a few weeks' time.
