Hi splingun,

We have a section for Fixing Facebook and YouTube issues. The black screen specifically seems to be covered in the list of articles I linked you to.

Hopefully this helps!

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

See:

Flash "Display settings" window:


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode 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).
