I know that this problem has been asked here for many times. I have gone through many of possible solutions but without any luck. The problem is only on Firefox and Chrome. IE has no problem with playing at all. That means there's no problem with Internet connection. I updated my Graphic Driver to latest version (Intel Graphics HD 2000). I updated the Adobe Flash to the lastest version 11,8,800,94. Tried to restart Firefox to default. Turned off hardware acceleration on Flash. Still no change. I simply can't believe that it could so complicated more over when it worked a couple of weeks ago.

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 update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
