YouTube is broken since latest FF update, while Vimeo is just fine.

After Firefox updated yesterday, the YouTube home page takes forever to load. Once there, the videos can not be viewed and the video window is black. Embedded YT videos can not be seen on webpages and blogs (they appear as solid white boxes).

Meanwhile, Vimeo and Flash advertisements work fine. I cleared the cache and that didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, and rebooted and that didn't help.

I'm using a G5 Mac, and haven't had problems with YouTube before. A few other folks are reporting this problem in the YouTube forum. If the problem was with YouTube in general, thousands of people would be reporting it. I'm wondering if the problem is related to the Firefox for Mac that was updated yesterday?

YouTube is working fine now and the problem may have been with Comcast instead of Firefox. On a YouTube help forum, we noticed that everyone experiencing the problem was using Comcast. My modem and router needed to be reset.

If anyone still experiences this problem, you might want to reset your modem and router (by unplugging and disconnecting them for a period of time).
