What is causing flash sites not to work?
After updating to FF 8.0 I no longer can view YouTube or any flash websites. I have the most recent Adobe Upgrades for all of the programs they offer. I have all of my add-ons updated.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Do you see the Flash plugin in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and on the about:plugins page (via the location bar)?
What does the Adobe test page say?

Yes I do and all of the tests I've performed are all updated and installed. Also, for some reason I just found out that Yahoo! Mail doesn't work either. So it may not just be flash. I can't compose, reply, or open external links from Yahoo! Mail.
