Firefox Youtube help

[noiseredux]

for some reason everytime I try to watch a youtube video now there's just a black box where the video should be. Youtube works fine if I run it from IE, so it something with a FF setting. Any idea??

It just happened to me.
I think it might be because of all the add-ons I have installed (from YouTube UnPlug to GreaseMonkey Scripts like YouTube enhancer).

I loaded an embedded YouTube movie just fine. Once that happened, I could check out the actual video sort of fine. (The GM Script was causing the preview to scroll in place of the main-window until I full-screened the thing. The preview is an animated GIF that's three or four low-res photos of the video; I could hear the audio going so I tried full-screen.)

Basically, I think YouTube is mangling itself to make it more inconvenient for everyone as it is upgrading... something... again. (My guess is to show ads before the movie begins... which was probably that black-screen you were seeing.)

Happened to me once on Chrome. Clearing my cache sorted the problem.
