    So when did Firefox stop playing youtube videos?

    Seriously, watching any youtube video is painful with firefox. For a while I was thinking it was my 5 year old laptop but I opened Chrome and it played fine. Opened Safari and they play fine. Even here at work on my tower I absolutely can't watch a video on youtube in Firefox anymore. Anyone else having these problems?

    May have to finally bite the bullet and use Chrome. I hate change.

    I was having trouble a few days ago. Upgraded my Flash and I'm good to go again.

    Haha! First time that's happened to you?


    Seems like EVERY time either flash OR firefox updates it happens to me. It's not just youtube though, it's any flash video. Friggin annoying.

    i had to uninstall both adobe flash player and firefox, then re-install the latest versions for videos to start working again.

    well my OSX is now "too old" so no Chrome updates which means no flash. I can only watch videos in Safari.

    Probably not just Firefox, but as mentioned Flash updates and the latest version of Firefox if it still does not work after trying the Adobe updates of their junk.

    It's pretty cheap to upgrade the OS now...

    yep I just discovered that the other day. ~$20 now compared to ~$200 a few years ago when I upgraded my old mac. I'll get around to it sometime soon.
