correct, should import as three red filters...
sometimes the red filters, depending on if the named filter is already present or not, will show up the very TOP of the config, be sure to cut it from the TOP and paste it within the pertinent config section AND to disable whatever filter the RED one is "replacing"...

and most importantly, SAVE the config...
believe it or not, that's what most people forget to do

Yes, the 3 red filters showed up at the top. I have no YouTube filters at all, so these are all new, and not replacing existing filters. I did not save the config, as I was looking for a "Save Filters" option. I understand now. I figured the filters would work whether I saved them or not. If they worked, then I’d save them. If not, no need to save them.

This morning, I imported them, and saved the config, giving the config a new name of youtube. They turned from red to black, and remained at top of the list. However, now Firefox becomes extremely slow and unstable, and freezes. Rebooting the computer brought up a message that Proxomitron could not be shut down, and was busy. Once I was rebooted, I was back to the default config, and Firefox runs fine. Also, I noticed with the filters you gave me, Google was trying to load something while I was trying to load a video at YouTube. Sure didn’t understand that.

I loaded Guest’s filters, saved them over my youtube config, and Firefox runs fine, but still can not view videos at YouTube without closing Proxomitron. If I try to load your HTTP filter code from your last post, I just get the message that the clipboard is empty, even after rebooting the computer, and trying again. Still no Joy here.
