I can no longer play YouTube and similar videos. I think the flash player is disabled. How do I reenable it?

Your System Details List shows the Flash player as installed.

  • Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Note that you can get a possibly colored Lego icon on the left end of the location bar that indicates that Firefox is blocking a plugin.
