Basically, I watch a video or two on YouTube, and then randomly get:

Content Encoding Error 




         The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
       




 Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Refreshing once (or a few times) fixes the problem temporarily. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? I've tried disabling all of my addons as well, but it still happens...

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers.

This can be caused by running outdated software on the server.

I am not using Firefox 7. I am using Firefox12! It seems I have been having this problem after upgrading to 12! I tried loading the http://www.ontwowheels.nl listed in that query. I still get the same result Content Encoding Error in Firefox but it loads OK in Google Chrome and IE
