Unable to view videos in browsers

[Pharoahphx]

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, and since then I am unable to view videos or anything flash related in my current browser. I use Firefox. I have tried all solutions that I have found, and even tried two different browsers, Opera and Chrome. I have tried flash aid and still no luck. In Firefox, the video will not even load, and in Opera and Chrome they both give me the "Shockwave Player has crashed" message. All of this worked fine in 10.04. So I am unsure at what I need to do to fix this. Please help.

Thanks,

Well everything seems to be alright. Close Firefox and open Terminal. Then commands:

cd
cd .macromedia
rm -rf Flash_Player

Now flash player files removed. Open Firefox and try Youtube or something. Does it work?

I tried those commands, and still no luck. Just as before the space where the video is suppose to be is blank, not even an outlined box.

Do you have any plug-ins for Firefox which block javascript or flash objects from automatically running when you enter a webpage, such as NoScript or and ad blocking program? These can also block video playback.
