YouTube videos show up as an empty black box but work when embedded on other websites
This happened just yesterday. When I try to view YouTube videos off of the YouTube website, they show up as an empty black box. However if the video is embedded on another site then it will play. Also, about a week ago the arrows in the bottom right corner of the YouTube video to expand the video no longer work.
I know it's not my computer because the videos work in IE. Also, I just updated my Firefox to 8 to try and fix this problem but it didn't work.

cor-el That doesn't work. You can't solve everything by that.
