Why wont Youtube videos load when using Firefox 3.6.3?
I've been having issues with youtube when using firefox, the video doesnt load or show up for that matter its just a black screen where the video should be and on the bottom left hand corner of Mozzilla it says "done" I've tried everything, I updated java and flash but nothing seems to work. What can I do? I know I can use other web browsers but I really want to fix this

There are a few reasons why youtube might be broken:
- An extension may be causing the problem: try the steps at Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
- Bad item stored in the Browser Cache: Follow the steps at How to clear the Firefox cache.
- Firewall software is blocking some resources on the page: see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet
If none of this works, let me know if Flash video from other sites work. Here are a few you can try:
I have the same problem and found a solution.
the flash plugin 10.0 r45 is not compatible with firefox 3.6.3, change the flash plugin to 10.1 r53 would resolve this issue. Firefox_Flash_Plugin_10.1_r53.7z
