Youtube videos play, but no play/ pause button or history bar or anything.
Late Thursday night was watching videos on Youtube, when I noticed the play/ pause button wasn't showing up nor the video's history button or the video setting button. In fact every one of the normal options available when you move your mouse over the video was not showing. And yet the video was still playing and audio was just fine.
I tried running Firefox in Safe Mode it didn't work. I tried updating Flash, but it was already up to date. I tried restarting computer, but that didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and even THEN it still doesn't work.
I don't know what is going on here.

That worked, though I don't know how that fixed it. Can you please tell me why that works because right now I am amazed and I am thinking you are a wizard.
I hadn't thought to clear cache. Thank you for the assistance.
So what the cache does is it has temporary internet files that saves what a web page looks like, so the next time you visit that site it loads faster because it has a cached version of the web page. Everytime, you clear the cache in Firefox, you force the browser to build a new cache of websites. Hope that helps.
Cache and cookies are where other systems store data from their sites. Sometimes, that information becomes corrupt. Flushing out this information makes the website send new data to replace it.
