Okay, so I've been on this for hours and I'm getting frustrated. I've been watching a TV show on Netflix and looking through Tumblr. The sound comes from Netflix but when I found video on Tumblr it plays nothing, I go to YouTube nothing comes out. I restarted FireFox, removed Flash and then downloaded it again. I don't know what to do. Help!

Note that Netflix uses the Silverlight plugin and not the Shockwave Flash plugin.

Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

  • Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings
    • Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site
    • Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data
