Huh, that's four years ago. I've just tested the link with current versions of firefox and chromium and all is well on 18.04.1 - thanks.
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1370454 Title: Default UA string denies videos from youtube Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Reproducable with activated or deactivated adobe-flash, the attempt to watch a video on youtube, results in "an error occurred .. try it later". Empty the cache and possibly cookies, change the default to a user defined UA string, (example screenshot), result: videos start flawless. e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEvpnKRLDO4 All findings, such as right click on the black&white background to report an error, or beeing forwarded to their faq resulted in exactly zero solution. Obviously it's expected to use G.'s one and only software.
