Does "I wished to watch youtube vedios on 07/07/2014 as usual." mean you
were able to watch youtube videos till yesterday?
If so, something has changed on your side. Did you change network? Can you
watch youtube videos on another machine?
Time ago accepting youtube.com cookies was mandatory to get it working.
I've just tested youtube play on an updated wheezy machine with either
cookies disabled or enabled, it worked fine in both cases.
Did you disable them?

Creating a test profile is safe and lets us start from a clean environment,
it doesn't modify current one. "iceweasel -P" will let you manage them.

Another test is starting in safe-mode: "Help - Restart with Add-ons
Disabled"
