This morning I noticed that youtube videos will not play in Firefox. Been checking ad-block and noscript to see if they got turned on by accident, but I can't see a problem. The youtube flash screen remains black and it mentions the video hasn't loaded.

Any suggestions ?

its working fine for me

Works for me

Want to make sure that YouTube link and ytimg.com aren't on your Noscript blacklist?

No problems here either. Not technical enough to tell youi why mine works or yours doesn't though.

Mine doesn't work either without much allowing of dangerous pages. Very frustrating when y'all post cool vids I've never heard of.

Have you updated your version of flash lately?

Per Photonred – check your flash player. On my laptop I haven't got the latest flash player and get the black screen effects. The desktop with the latest flash player there is not problem – both run Firefox.

I tried switching the options off etc. Can't seem to narrow it down, but other flash players work perfectly and even embedded Youtube videos will run. I can only guess that videos on a youtube page are somehow blocked.

Is it all youtube, or just certain ones?

The whole of youtube is blocked. I found a workaround by opening the videos in an IE tab.

Something is blocking my youtube page, but I can't track down what it is.

Update your flash player. I recently had the problem as well.
