YouTube quit playing recently. I have Firefox 5, Windows 7 64bit. I updated my Adobe flash player and it still does not work. It is fine in Explorer. How do I get Youtube to play videos again?

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.
