When I try to watch a video on any video streamer (YouTube, BBC iplayer, etc.) the page only partially loads. Mots of the page comes up fine, but the video itself/where the video is usually positioned appears black and doesn't load at all (not even the play.pause bar at the bottom of the video). I have the latest version of flash, and the pages load perfectly fine on other web browsers like IE and Google Chrome, but I can't view YouTube videos through other websites like Facebook when using Firefox.. I have NoScripts, but even when the option "Temporarily allows all scripts" is enabled, the video does not load. No error messages appear.

This can be caused by a recent update to Flash 11.3

See:

Please update Firefox to the latest version via "Help > About Firefox" or "Help > Check for Updates" The Firefox Firefox 8.0.1 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
