Mozilla (specifically) wont load Youtube videos, or streamed shows, but everything else. Why?

Firefox

Most people will readily say this - but I have absolutely no idea what I've done to change any form of settings. However Mozilla won't play any Youtube videos or streamed shows. The screen just stays blank (black). I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash and that didn't fix it, and I've tried most of the troubleshooting options, none seem to work. I've opened up Internet Explorer and they have no problems playing any video. It's just Mozilla. I'm not too sure what the issue is. I've googled such problems and any form of related issues seem to want to clear any cache or cookies - didn't work.

Anyways, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The most likely cause is the latest Flash update. Please see this article for more information: Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox.

There are other things that need your attention.

Please update Firefox to the latest version via "Help > About Firefox" or "Help > Check for Updates"

The Firefox 8.0 version that you currently run according to the system details list is no longer supported with security updates.

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
