Starting early January 2013 in Firefox, YouTube videos are loaded as blank black screens for the first five seconds. At the 0:06 mark, videos start playing normally. This is not an issue in Chrome or IE. Tested with all plug-ins and add-ons disabled (except Flash player). Plug-ins/add-ons updated. Tried re-installing Firefox with no solution. Help? Thanks!

cor-el 5 months ago You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
- disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
- disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Right click on YouTube video with playback issues, select "Settings...", uncheck hardware acceleration.
Thanks!! Hope this helps others, too.
