Firefox wont load any flash player videos and when it does it only buffers so far. I can't download anything like anti-mal/spyware to check if its anything like that.

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

Do you have access to another computer to download the anti-mal/spyware programs and put them on a USB stick with the latest updates or their databases?

You can also try to download them via sites like FileHippo.
