I was watching videos on youtube awhile ago... then i clicked on another video to watch next then suddenly the video won't load just a black screen.. i thought it was just that video so i went back to the video i was watching then the same thing happened.. it wont load even though i just watched it a fews secs ago... Had no problems when i tried in Chrome and IE.

I just started having this problem. One day it was fine, the next day I couldn't load videos. I can load webpages containing the videos and even YouTube pages. But, there will just be a black window where the movie is supposed to be, and right clicking gives me the message "Movie not loaded...". As with the skynite, the videos work fine on IE.

I have the same exact problem. Will lurk, although I doubt we'll get an answer.

Last month I found that firefox no longer loads youtube, yet Chrome works just fine. Firefox is up to date, what's the problem??
