Firefox update 40 youtube stopped playing sound. The picture is fine just no sound. I can play the same video on my other browsers just fine and I can download and play. Only firefox has a problem. Flash is current. I went to a shockwave site that uses flash and it played sounds. The problem as far as I can tell is only youtube videos played online. Can someone help?

Your System Details shows no flash player. What are you using?

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
