Zestoeren,
Did these problems happen right after reflash? Did you install ANYTHING from repositories before you went testing youtube?

Place to install firefox is:
https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/
And it should open app manager where the installation happens. But this is still under heavy development.

Moreover I would advice you stop trying to install stuff from ANY other place than app manager or ovi store.

It wouldn't .exe is a windows/dos executable file not a linux one. Use the second link.

The .exe file will run fine on your PC - not your phone.

Then either reboot the device (you might want to enable that in the power menu while tinkering with the browser) or restart all browserd deamons.

That will rebuild all the data structure for MicroB.
Hi Zwer,
I typed that line in xterm after closing all browsers, and I got several lines stating "cannot remove '/home/user/. Audio clips' : Permission Denied"
The same line repeats over and over for different items ("cannot remove '/home/user/. Images' : Permission Denied" and the Camera, Data, Settings, and so forth...)

I rebooted the device just as well, but the problem is still there...

Hello Slender,
yes, all these problems happened when I started surfer internet right after re-flashing.
I didn't install anything from repositories before testing youtube.
I'll follow your suggestions though, and avoid downloading stuff from other places

Running Fennec(Firefox) on my PC (The first link) I can report youtube does not work in Fennec(Firefox) for the PC, I don't have Firefox on my N900, never liked it, so I cannot report how youtube works in it.
Both MicroB and Fennec(Firefox) are variants of the Morzilla browser. Interestingly Fennec on the PC seems quite buggy, split/broken rendering.

I tried that, but nothing changed.

I tried the video again over WiFi: works perfectly.
Over 3G: The same error. Again, I don't think it has anything to do with the browser or the phone, just the actual 3G connection.

Zestoeren: Is your 3G connected via a proxy? As in, did you have to put in a proxy IP address when setting up your 3G connection?

Jon, what do you think the problem might reside then since I didn't install any new browser on N900 after the reflashing?
It's driving me insane... it used to work so nice according to my needs before I flashed the memory, and now it's a gimpy phone...

How did you reflash 'PC Suite' or 'Command line flasher'. Try the 'Command line flasher if you used 'PC Suite', backup first, and try youtube before restoring anything, could indicate a problem in your settings.

Then you didn't type that line, you typed something similar (probably with a space after the ~). If you're lucky you won't have lost everything from your MyDocs folder, but I wouldn't count on it.
