I'm running windows 7 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. All my plug-ins are up to date. I have searched and searched but no one seems to have had this problem!

Chosen solution

This could happen if you used the "zoom" feature on any page. To reset the zoom level back to default, press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero). You have to do this before clicking in the player, otherwise Flash will intercept the keyboard. Does that make any difference?

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems

Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again

Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox

Many, many thanks
