As of January 4, You Tube Videos no longer play. I have deactivated Adblockers and Gmail adblockers but the videos no longer play. The You Tube window does open and search for videos and they play in Chrome but no longer in Firefox. Has something changed?

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
