I have used FireFox for a long time but recently (for about a month) the videos on youtube will not run when I go there. The website seems to be OK because they work fine with MS IE. When I go to youtube and try to run a video, the screen just stays black and nothing happens. I wonder if MS is mad at FireFox. I downloaded the latest version of FireFox but it acts just like the version I had before. Maybe I have a virus or adware or something. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks, SLIM2111
