Until now I've had no problem getting Youtube videos to show from Firefox. But now I've been unable to watch any videos (or audios) from the Youtube site when browsing in Firefox. When I go Internet Explorer and bring up Youtube the videos/audios play just fine. I've tried doing this under Safe Mode with the same result. No Youtube pictures from the Firefox browser.

I like Firefox but will revert to IE if I have to.
