I have a strange problem with Firefox.. I can't watch some videos in YouTube (for example). I click on the video, but all I see is a black screen.. I can hear the sound from the video, but I can't watch the video.. The process bar is not moving, but if I click on the screen I can pause the video.. But I can't watch it.. I'm having this problem since I updated my Flash Player.. In Internet Explorer I don't have any of these problems and everything is working there.. :(

I have the same problem with the exception that mine works with Youtube but not with other sites.

Everything including Java and Flash Player are all up to date and hardware acceleration has been turned off for flash player.

Flash Player works fine with IE and Comodo Dragon hence, based on number of related posts regarding this issue I am to believe the issue is Firefox or Flash Player (non IE) related.

So much for keeping everything up to date.
