Flash videos played in older versions of Firefox but not in 8.0.1. I have an Intel iMac running 10..6.8, Safari can play the videos. When I try to play a flash video on You Tube I get the sound but no picture (white screen). When I right-click on the white screen I do not get a dialog box with flash player settings. I tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. but that didn't help, neither did starting Firefox in safe mode.

I have a Flash slide show on the home page of my website that has stopped working in FireFox 8.01. The Flash movie plays fine in other browsers and on PCs running FireFox, but not on either my MacBook or iMac running FireFox 8.01.

Works fine on my Brother's Mac running Firefox. But not on my 2 machines. VERY strange. I have reinstalled everything I can think of.
