YouTube plays fine and flash works fine in IE and it shows that it is installed on the test page, but when I am using Firefox, youtube will not play at all. I have uninstalled all Flash on my computer and reinstalled it, etc., as per forum instructions. I have a 64bit system and am running Wiindows 7.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Hi Cor-El, here is what is going on now. Last night in desperation I downgraded to FlashPlayer 9. When I got onto IE on YouTube it told me that I needed to upgrade and all of a sudden, YouTube started working on Firefox again.

It quit earlier again for no apparent reason. I went through the troubleshooting pages, etc, followed all of your instructions, and it says that an extension or theme is NOT the problem, and when I went to the plug-ins, I did everything that it asked and still no luck.
