This problem has never happened to me before. I had been watching videos about three days ago then i went out of town for a few days and now no video comes up just a black square where the video should be. There is no loading circle or play or pause button or anything. I right clicked the black box and it said Movie not loaded and About Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32... which if clicked on brings you to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. So i tried refreshing the page and trying other videos and nothing. I also tried restarting my computer and re downloading adobe flash player to Firefox still nothing. So i tried watching videos on internet explorer and they worked so I'm wondering whats going on? So please if you know anything about this or how to fix it please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks! :-)
