For about a month Youtube videos do not play on the site and embed on other sites, on IE and Firefox. I just upgraded my firefox, installed the new adobe flash player and it still doesn't play. I even uninstalled it (just as I read in other threads) and reinstalled it, still no change. The youtube videos just show the circle in the middle, like it is loading but it never plays. HELP!

URL of affected sites

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
