I'm not really even sure what the problem is, but I'm having problems all of a sudden viewing certain media items with my Firefox browser. I also have Chrome and Internet Explorer, and both of them work fine. Also, up until about 2 days ago, Firefox was working just fine too. I'm not sure what I could have done to make it change, but I cannot view certain things. I believe it is all flash videos, but it also seems to be some pictures as well. For example, here is a link of what Youtube looks like on Firefox for me:

Here is what it looks like for me on Internet Explorer:

I'm not sure why it all of a sudden started doing that. I reinstalled flash player, and that did not seem to help. I also tried disabling all my plug-ins, but nothing helped. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thanks.

Have you installed any extensions that block advertising (like Flashblock or Adblock)? If so, you may need to whitelist the pages containing Flash. If you have any other extensions you've added that deal with YouTube content, try disabling them temporarily and see if it makes a difference.

I do have ad block plus, but I've had that for a long time and have never had any problems before. This is just a recent thing within the last few days. Also, I tried disabling adblock plus and that did nothing. Any other suggestions?

I would totally uninstall Firefox, download latest version and reinstall to see if all general settings will be set from scratch and then go from there adding add ons
