I'm running firefox 5. I can view youtube in all other browsers. All I get is a black screen in firefox. Videos will not load. I noticed this after I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes.

Same here. I am having the same problem. I've tried reinstalling Firefox. Reinstalling Flash player (restarting computer after uninstalls both times) and it still doesnt work. WTH!!!!

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.

Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache

or Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]

Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.
