I have no idead of what's going on. Only that youtube was working fine until the 2 or 3 days ago. I might have been some automatic update of some sort, like Adobe Flash Player, or whatever. I don't really know. It only happens in my Firefox, which I use as my default browser. This is not happening in my Internet Explorer. Besides that, vimeo.com works fine in Firefox, which makes me doubt that it might be a flash player issue. Please Help!!!!

Find something that really works and it's simple. Nothing like some disable hw stuff, or update graphic drives, or any other extreme measure. Check below:


staceyvitale Level 1 7/4/11 I'd been having this problem since last night - could not view any videos on YouTube or even FB links to YouTube videos, only a black box where the video player should be. I noticed on another forum someone suggested adding the "s" to the url: httpS://www.youtube.com - which worked right away! I can now view all videos w/no problem, yay! Thanks!
