Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player as a quick test.

Flash "Display settings" window:

i have the same exactly porblem and have screenshot of my own https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2013-01-06-13-19-22-79838b.png

none of the replies did help me please, i really dont like the other browsers and the idea of launching one only to watch a video in youtube freaks me out.

please help me to fix this problem i've tryed E-V-R-E-Y-T-H-I-N-G - reinstall firefox - reinstall and update external patchs/add-ons - cleaning all temporary and chace files - disable firewall and antivirus to see if it sloves the problem - allowing Java & JavaScipt just all the options it demends

none of them helped me... im really desperate

ok guys i think i came up with the solution the problem is with acessing videos on youtube with the normal connection protocol www. or http:// for some reason acessing videos with insecure connection is not allowed by youtube's servers

while https:// which is secured protocol connection is allowed and allow running of videos.

to be honest i dont know why youtube/google not preforming auto-linking between each protocol in cases 1 of them is not working well like facebook's servers do for example.

i will try to contact them and ask them why.

anyway i would like to thank all of you
