Embedded youtube videos do not play. I have tried all available solutions. They played before with no problem.

This problem has been brought up and I tried every possible solution...uninstalled and re-installed...updated, etc. The video shows the opening frame, but when I try to play, I get the same error message "am error occured, please try again later" The video plays fine in IE. The website with the video does not make any difference. They do not play anywhere using Firefox. Below is one URL example.

I actually had gotten the videos working before I got your reply(Don't know what finally worked, I just kept trying different things). I updated the JAVA plugin, as you recommended and now the videos won't play again. So, I am back to square one. I tried to disable and uninstall the JAVA update, but that did not work. I did update my firefox to 3.6.9, but that did not help, either.
