When watching youtube on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.

When watching Youtube videos on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer. The videos load, but not with buffer (obvious when video is paused). I'm using Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (Non-IE) 64-bit Works fine on IE9 with Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (for IE) 64-bit

Chosen Solution

For some reason, as of today the problem is gone. I haven't updated Waterfox (still v8.0.1) or Flash player (still 11.2.202.95 Beta 2). The only thing I did was to allow TuneUp utilities to delete Mozilla Firefox cache. I usually skip deleting MF cache, because my browsing remains personalized when I leave it as is. Perhaps that was the solution... Sounds plausible, but I cannot guarantee it. Cheers!

The problem is back, and clearing MF cache doesn't do anything. The thing is that now IE also doesn't buffer... It might be Youtube itself, it might be FlashPlayer. or it might be my rig/os... I give up.

Installed & enabled "Greasemonkey" (non-related to this issue), now it's buffering !?! This is ridiculous.
