Last night I could play YouTube videos, this morning I updated Flash and now all I get is the spinning wheel as a video loads. I checked to see if Flash was working on the Adobe website and it is. Videos work on Chrome too.

I've also never been able to view Vine videos with Firefox, although I assume that's a separate issue.

Hello there,

Have you tried reinstalling Firefox and see if the issue still persists?

Keep us posted!

Hi, I uninstalled Firefox, rebooted my laptop and then installed Firefox again, but there's no change.

Update: I went to bed, woke up, tried it, and it worked. I've no idea why, all I did was what I posted. I still can't view vine videos but I think that's for a separate thread. Thanks for your help.

It could have been a bad file that was overwritten. If it happens again, please post a new question.
