You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Something that's worked for me is disable adblock, ctrl +F5 and the videos will load. Then you can reenable adblock and watch videos adfree again.
