The solution is to

- disable all youtube addons (youtube flashplayer, youtube all htlm5, etc)

- if you're using Flashblock, click on Options, Whitelist, and add *.youtube and *.youtube.* to the Whitelist (also add the youtube url shortcuts *.ytimg.com and *.ytimg.*)

Firefox seems to have temporarily made it universally easier for Youtube to play on all browsers
