Youtube wont play on firefox after flash is installed

brand new install of windows 7 pro 64 bit
only other software installed is avast anti virus lavasoft adaware and malwarebytes, adobe reader that is it... no ms office, no games, nothing...
using firefox 23
ie 10
and basic google... not chrome
installed flash player - most recent version 11.8 something or other for 'other browsers' and pc will not play youtube videos. changed the hardware acceleration, deleted flash folder with cache... followed all the instructions and nothing...
ie would not play youtube either.
used adobe unistaller to unistall and reinstall repeatedly, nothing working.... youtube video will load and play about 2 seconds then get that black screen that says error and sends you to a google/youtube help screen where it tells you to install latest version of flash, check java, etc
finally found flash 10.3 and installed it. can watch youtube on ie, but still not on firefox.
don't want to be stuck on flash 10.3
this is pc for 79 year old woman... she uses it to watch videos and play lots of facebook games...
need firefox and flash to allow her to watch youtube and be able to play facebook flash games...
spent 7 hours now following every help article i can find.... install of os is fresh drivers were all updated a few days ago when os was installed...
she is not capable of fiddling with workarounds...
help!!!!!

Does Flash 10.3 work on Adobe's test page here:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
I agree that you should install Flash 11.8 again. Then check whether Firefox is detecting it and listing it as Enabled on the add-ons page and check the above test page.
Or, in other words, is this problem limited to YouTube?

YouTube wont play videos

Just within the last few days Youtube wont play videos. Any ideas why this might be they work in IE.

Please give more details. Is this with just YouTube, or are there any
problems on other sites? What does / does not happen? Does the
web page load? Are there any error or other messages?

My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song without playing...what can i do to fix this?

Help!
My ipad touch wont play music, an arrow flashes by the battery icon, which is charged and it just reverts back to the selected song in a second without playing...what can i do to fix this? thanks, joe

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

YouTube wont play

youtube will load but it wont play the video. it will just sit there and i wont be able to watch my video.

They are Flash videos.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
It works for me!

YOUTUBE WONT PLAY AFTER I UPGRADED TO LION

hi guys! i have another problem. after i upgraded to lion. youtube isnt working. a friend told me maybe i should give it more time to buffer since it could be my network provider. but i never had this problem prior to upgradng to Lion. i need my youtube to get running like it used to.
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS!!!

I dont have another browser. I only use safari. I stumble upon some an article saying that I need to download the lastest Adobe and so I did that. Nothing works still. Im getting frustrated coz I dont know if what Im doing is right. Isnt upgrading to lion supposed to make things easier. But it only gives me headache. Im sorry if im ranting out. I didnt sleep last night thinking of a solution to this problem. Im so sorry.

I downloaded CCcleaner, and after a ran it, firefox just seemed different. Can't google search anymore through the adress bar, and youtube is not loading properly, uninstalled flash and installed again, didnt work. System recovery didnt work. Plz help

It's probably the flash plug-in, but dont know how to fix it, other sites like IGN.com react the same way

A few helpful hints:
1) Don't bump your post. Everyone here is a volunteer and if your answer is slow in coming it might mean the right person hasn't yet read the post, no one can figure it out, or the question is so vaguely stated no one knows what the problem is. I suspect the last possibility is the case here, which leads to
2) State your problem first, not what you did. When we know what the problem is then we can take in all the details. Speaking of details, if you don't know which details are important and which aren't, leave them out. We'll ask for the details we need.
If Snow Leopard can be installed on your computer you must have an Intel based Mac and having an Intel Mac means USB will boot your computer.
I suspect that your problem is software too but we won't know without a fresh install and I recommend that your erase the drive and start fresh. Install Snow Leopard, install your applications, then transfer your data. Since your problem, or at least part of it, appears to involve your personal account I'd recommend that you not transfer it via Migration Assistant. Kappy has written an excellent guide about how to manually transfer data. It was specifically written for migrating from a PPC to an Intel computer but the same idea applies here so the instructions are 100% valid. You'll find it here.

Audio hangs on all videos played in firefox after updating to 3.6, everything works fine in internet explorer.

sound locks up and repeats while videos play, sound resumes as it should after a second or so, happens once every few seconds while playing any video within firefox. (youtube) flash applications work fine. internet explorer runs all videos fine. let me know if i need to dig up some more info to help figure out what my be causing the problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox 3.6 update

This will require advanced help. I believe it has something to do with the session restore feature of Firefox, but I can't help you fix it.
In the meantime (that is, before another contributor that knows how to help you comes here), you may want to try creating a new Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the same issues occur on that one. This profile can be erased if you don't want it, of course. Please tell us whether the new profile has the same issues or not.

Screen wont turn off. iPod and youtube wont play

1- When not active the screen will not shut off unless I do it manually 2. In both iPod and youtube it will not play music, If I hit the play button it plays for a second then goes back on pause. I have restarted and even reset. After the reset it worked for a little bit then went back to doing the same thing.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My music wont play in itunes after i updated my windows 8

Just yesterday my windows 8 had a system update. After digitally downloading the Beyonce album, I wasn't able to play the songs in Itunes. I went to the Itunes store to see if any song would play, none would. So I ran a troubleshoot and it said that the program wasnt compatible. I unistalled, repaired, and re installed itunes and even looked for help online and have gotten dead ends. I need help. Anyone else have this problem?

Your iTunes Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/universitetsradioen/id966113015?mt=2 and is using the feed at the URL you give.
The URL for the top episode's media file is
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Universitetsradioen/http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stre am/190737542-uniradioen-festfronten-scoreteknikker-pa-mef.mp3
Trying to access this produces an error. If you take the front section off:
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/190737542-uniradioen-festfronten-scoreteknikk er-pa-mef.mp3
it works, except that when you enter the URL of your media file in a browser it downloads instead of playing within the browser as it should. This means that although it would work in the iTunes application, the Store can't play it within its own page.
You need to correct the URLs and to set each file not to download. eiznem has posted the process for the latter:

Song wont play on itunes after I bought it from itunes.

I just bought some songs from itunes but when i try to play them from my laptop itunes says my laptop isn't authorized to play the song. I've tried deauthorizing my laptop and reauthorizing, but thats not working.

So you bought elplicit content? You don't clean them. You either buy the clean version (if available), or you don't.

Some videos wont play. says update adobe flash or javascript. how do i update so im able to watch those videos that i currently cant watch?

please help!!!

It probably says update Flash or Java, not javascript (the iPhone has javascript).
You can try Skyfire or iSwifter, not great reviews in the App Store but apparently a good number of people like it.
You can check to see if the site you are going to that has these videos also has an app to view them.
If neither of those work for you then you should be will within your return period and you can return the iPhone and get a smartphone that has Flash and Java.

After Flash 11 install: Adobe Connect requires Flash Player 10.1 or above.

Adobe Connect will not run on my XP Pro workstation. Flash (11.1.102.63) has been installed several times, with and without AVG. We get the Flash Successful Installation Screen, try to launch Connect again, and always bounce right into the same message:
Adobe Connect requires Flash Player 10.1 or above.
Its like the system is not recognizing the Flash install. How do we get beyond this? Thanks for your help!

John
I have tried to invite my sister-in-law to join me in a Connect Now meeting. Every time she tries to respond to the dialogue box that comes up when she clicks on the hyperlink I send her, she gets a message saying that she has to install Flash Player. We have tried doing this on a number of occasions, but always end up with the same response.
I've noted from your advice above that Internet Explorer and Google Chrome require different versions of Flash Player. She tells me she has both browsers on her machine. From the description she has given me, she appears to have downloaded both versions of Flash Player.
Despite the fact that it appears she has now install both versions of Flash Player, however, she is still getting the same request to install Flash Player when she responds to my hyperlink request.
Please help.
As my sister-in-law is not technically minded, a simplified set of instructions would be appreciated.
With my thanks and kind regards,
Nicholas.
