You Tube videos won't run in Firefox, will in Safari!

I can no longer get videos to run in You Tube. I'm running the latest Firefox and Lion. All I see are black shapes. The videos do run in Safari, however. Fix? Workaround? Thanks.

Didn't help. But thanks. Would completely deleting Flash and then reinstalling work?

You Tube videos won't play using FireFox 12

Fire Fox will not play YouTube videos. When I go to the site, I see just a black box with no error messages. The video never loads. I have uninstalled flash player and re-installed with no success in playing you tube videos. IE will play you tube videos! I have disabled all anti-virus, firewall, plugins, etc and FireFox still will NOT play YouTube videos. Please help!

This still did not work. I have noticed that FireFox will not play any video on any website. I am able to play all video using IE browser.

You Tube videos won't play Windows 8.1, Shockwave Flash, HTML5, updated

I have tried in Firefox, Explorer and Chrome. It doesn't work in any of them using shockwave flash or HTML 5. I did get HTML 5 to work for a little bit but nothing at all is working now. I have a new ASUS computer running Windows 8.1. I installed Cyberlink software which installed Quicktime and I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

You tube videos do not play and other sites, ie property, do not display pictures, running 7.0.1

looking at estate agent web sites recently which contain series of pics which you can see as slide shows in an enlarged window do not appear in larger window, but are visable as thumb nails, also you tube videos do not run. This is not the case in internet explorer

Here is a solution for the videos anyway first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

Hi
An issue has developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed, the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
To clear this error, I have to go into my XP power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube video the same problem re-occurs.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
This never used to happen until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as it is a real nuisance.
Many thanks.
D

thanks for your suggestions.
i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
Go to control panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

Why is Firefox crashing when I am playing You Tube favorites playlists and other You Tube videos?

Lately within the last 2-3 weeks I have had a lot of crashes on my computer when I am running Firefox version 3.6.3 and trying to watch You Tube videos. It seems to only crash when I am on You Tube. It crashes even quicker when I am on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer recently. I never had trouble watching You Tube videos until recently. The You Tube site will open, I sign in, and then I go to my subscriptions or favorites and select a video. It will begin to play, get a minute or so in, and then I get the error message that it's crashed.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: 0fbb30ce-0fdd-4423-9aa3-3f8fe2100528 Signature: cabac_mb_skip

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Firefox crashing when playing You Tube videos

Just another crash report I got concerning the many crashes I have had lately while using Firefox 3.6.3 to watch You Tube videos. It crashes on several different You Tube channel videos, and it crashes when I attempt to watch playlists that I have created. It also crashes even faster when I am watching on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: fb817f25-4a61-4970-a331-b2ce32100528 Signature: nsStringBundleService::Release()

Could you paste additional crash ID's in this thread? The report you submitted is nonspecific, so having more would help.
There are a few things you can try that might fix it:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]: Disable your add-ons one at a time to see if one is at fault
# Upgrade to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html Firefox 3.6.4 beta], which prevents Flash from crashing the main Firefox process.

For Mac OS 10.8.2,latest flash plug in, Firefox 19 will not play any You Tube video. Am at wits end.

The video seem to load, then start, run for about 5 secs, and then stop, no more video. This is on every You Tube video I try. Your instructions-troubleshooting ideas almost never fit a Mac OS 18.8.2 with the latest Adobe flash plug in. Nothing I have seen on your troubleshooting web site solves my problem, and I do not have the time to spend on this for the rest of my life. Fix it.

I just recently registered on this forum to see if I could help with answering questions from the users here. I did this because I like the apps and aims of Mozilla, and I'm willing to spend time helping people out with using these apps if I'm able to. That being said, questions worded like the one above do not make me want to spend much time being all that helpful.
My suggestion is that you wait a few hours (or day or so) before posting about a problem that is causing some negative emotional response for you.
If anyone has the same problem as what is described above, please post more information about their software versions (i.e. flash version), and whether or not the issue remains when taking the flash plugin out of the equation and using HTML5 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/html5).
My initial thought is that the issue is with the flash plugin being used. Has another flash version been used?

You Tube videos stopped working as of today only on Firefox?

Site: crownguitarfest.org
YouTube videos embedded were working fine until today? Now they error: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More.
The videos still work perfectly in Chrome, and work okay in Safari (by installing the "ClickToPlugin" extension to Safari, the videos now play in HTML5 mode but no longer link to You Tube).
In Firefox, they don't play or link to You Tube anymore. I updated to the latest Firefox and Flash. I've been researching this all day today and going back and forth with my hosting support team at Site Ground, but we have not been able to resolve this issue, so I am contacting you out of desperation.
Can you please help me to get the You Tube Videos working properly in Firefox?
Thanks,
John

Thanks MarkRH for your reply kind timely reply. I appreciate it very much.
I thought I had tried removing "nocookie" yesterday to no avail, so at first I figured since I had all ready tried it that it wouldn't help.
Today I thought what the heck let me try it again, as I am desperate for a solution. Amazingly enough it fixed the issue! Firefox is now playing the YouTube videos and linking to YouTube again. Hurray!
Also, in Safari, the YouTube videos are playing and linking to YouTube again, and the play button is back. That's just great!
Kudos to you for your help. Feel good today!
Thanks,
John

Why won't You Tube Videos Load/Play?

My 10 year old daughter has an ipad mini and has been able to watch You Tube videos with no problem. Now, all of a sudden, they won't load or if they load, they don't play. Can anyone tell me why this might happen? Everything else works fine, it's just this.

You tube videos crash after few seconds in Firefox

I have got the latest flash version and Firefox. You tube videos keep crashing after a couple of seconds. Very occasionally the same one that crashes will play . I have been trying everything for about 2 days including reinstalling firefox with new profile, uninstalling flash with Adobe's uninstall program and every other suggestion I have found on the internet but nothing seems to make any difference. I am thinking of using Chrome which does work but I do not want to. Previously it worked fine in Firefox with hardware acceleration. I hope someone can find a solution before I tear all my hair out. Thank you

I have just tried again and it is still crashing most of the time. I have also installed Google Chrome and cannot get it to crash at all with hardware acceleration on. The latest crash was after about 1/2 second

I am unable to download & convert You Tube videos while using FireFox 26.0 & Downloadhelper 4.9.21

I have been using FireFox with DownloadHelper for years without any issues. However, I am no longer able to convert You Tube videos from flv to wmv. I have reinstalled both programs and tried reverting to an older version of FireFox. Any suggestions?

I updated and tried the ConvertHelper...still doesn't work.
The message I get is:
Conversion job completed
'filename'.wmv failed converting
Could there be a problem with my converter license even though nothing indicated there is?

Hi mikefrompoland,
For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):
