Recently updated both firefox (version 27) and flashplayer plugin (12) and I then started having problems trying to play videos on youtube or hulu. After messing about with troubleshooting, I got the youtube videos to finally play (apparently, had to change to HTML5 mode) but now I still can't play the hulu videos. Hulu works fine on IE (which I used to use before FF) although, that is the ActiveX version of flash player. I've tried most of the suggestions that are out there for this particle problem and none of them seem to work. What I have yet to try is fixing the mms.cfg file located at C:Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and that's only because my equal sign key isn't working.smdh. The file that was there initially couldn't be opened or was corrupted so I'm thinking this might be the game changer I'm looking for. Any other relevant suggestions would greatly be appreciated as well. Thank you

oh, there is still a pending issue with youtube unfortunately. I can play videos individually but if I click on a video that is part of a playlist it lags and then goes to a blank space where the video should be. Is that a flash player issue? So, I can play videos individually but not playlists.

Any word on that would be awesome

Thanks again
