When opening youtube links from anyway(IM, google, reddit etc), Youtube will hang for a few seconds, and show up black(http://i.imgur.com/oKkqy.png).

This only started happening recently and I hadn't done anything to either flash or firefox.

Found out it was some HTML5 trial that I was automatically forced into on Youtube. Opting out fixed it.
