For the past several months I've been experiencing problems with my videos not playing, mostly youtube. Usually I can get the video playing, but today it happened again and I've tried a lot of things but I still can't get videos to play. It pretty much is a blank screen with an endless loading circle (or whatever you want to call that).

What have you done to try to fix it? Updated Flash player, installed latest Firefox, all the usual cliches about deleting temporary files and cookies, refreshing Firefox etc...?
