I have been unable to have audio on You tube videos on firefox for the past several days--I do have the audio if the video is from a source other than you tube on Firefox. I am able to get you tube audio on Outlook and Google so I feel this is a "Firefox" problem and not my computer. This is also occuring on both my desk top and my laptop computer. There is an X by the volume button on the You tube video, but it won't let me get rid of the X and turn the audio on.

You will probably notice a mute X next to the (speaker) volume icon on the control bar of the Flash player on the YouTube site (hover the player). There seems to be a problem on the YouTube website and the sound is muted by default. So you need to hover the speaker icon and move the volume slider to the right to un-mute the sound.

ometimes, the video or audio content in a web page cannot be properly downloaded and displayed in Firefox. A required plugin may be missing, outdated, blocked, in conflict with another plugin or extension, or the content may be blocked for some reason.if this happens Try installing plugins like Silverlight plugins Windows media Quick time

The first suggestion of moving the slider solved the problem--although it has to be done each time I open a YOU Tube--but I can do that!! Thanks.
