Hello - Running Firefox 5.0, however, Youtube problem has persisted with all previous versions. MacBookPro4,1 OS 10.5.8, Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Youtube videos play only on their native home page. Embedded Youtube videos on any site never play. When "PLAY" is clicked on embedded videos, I get a black screen with the message: "Error Occurred. Please try again later." This has been going on for at least 2 years. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Running ff 3.6.and had the same problem with youtube videos, both embedded and on youtube.com not playing.

Solved it by blocking all cookies on youtube.com.

running firefox 5.0.1 and it says I am up to date in the about dialog. this issue seems to have just started yesterday after I had to restore windows from a backup ghost image. I fully patched from microsoft and then the problem cropped up on facebook embedded videos and when I try to go to youtube.com I get a 500 internal server error message with a large block of text after the message. I tried clearing the cache and deleting some of the cookies, but the problem still persists. Youtube embedding and the website works in Internet Explorer 8 but I prefer to use Firefox for most everything I do on the web.
