[SOLVED] Firefox doesn't play youtube videos anymore

[ELMIT]

It seems that during an update the ability to play Youtube movies got lost.

The settings are still there (Edit/Preferences/Applications):
Shockwave Flash file Use Schockwafe Flash (in Firefox)

but the youtube video space remains a gray spot.

How can I get the video back?

You may need to reinstall flash...check the repos and uninstall /reinstall....
also you may need to uninsta/reinstall flash support as well....

good luck

I dont know your exact situation but firefox sometimes will only show 2 sec. of a video. To fix it you just clear your Cache.

Thanks, this did the trick:


sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree


Now the movies are working again.
