Youtube does not work on Firefox Help!

Using windows 7 64 bit at the moment. When i use internet explorer, i can view videos but i cannot with Mozilla Firefox. I prefer to use Firefox always but now i have to use IE if i want to watch something on youtube.

It mentions i need to download an adobe flash and i done this many times already. Is there a reason why youtube does not work for me in firefox?

How did you install the flash??? Manually or automatically by FF??

If you have the NoScript addon, be sure you allow script. Sometimes, especially after upgrades, even if you had previously given FF permission to run scripts, it will reset itself and you will have to give it permission again (which is why you get the Flash notice)

you need to know that there is a different between flash and flash activex

NoScript does not discriminate.

NoScript

NoScript is yet another protection tool that blocks Javascripts and allows only from trusted sources. NoScript also blocks ActiveX, Flash and Shockwave elements on page with a solid red block with a play button in it. The Flash/Shockwave element can be viewed/played by clicking the play button. You can also teach NoScript not to block scripts from trustworthy sites by adding it to its whitelist or by clicking on the icon in the status-bar. NoScript blocks scripts from trusted sources like Google Analytics, so you need to add them to the whitelist manually.

I am not sure what you guys mean. I clicked on the download link for the flash and it also gave me option for macafee and then it went to my download manager and then it said it was completed.

First, in FF, go to <VIEW> and check <STATUS BAR> if it is not already checked. Then click on CTRL-SHIFT-A and a pane will open showing what, if any, addons you have installed. If NoScript is present as an addon, at the far right of the status bar you should see an white button with a blue "S"; the button my be clear, partially obscured, or have the universal "NO" symbol, overlaid on the "S."

Unless you tell it otherwise, NoScript blocks Flash, ActiveX, Macromedia, et al., scripts. To allow scripts for a particular URL, click on the "S" and a list of URLs will open allowing you to ALLOW those you trust or want.

If we assume that you DLed and installed the correct version of Flash, I cannot think of any other reason why you would get the error message instructing you to install Flash.

download flash active x

I have downloaded flash active X. I have done so many times already.

The message i get on youtube is You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.

Control Shift A does not make anything pop out .

Consider placing your request in the DRIVERS forum page here

Perhaps a mod can move it for him.

Does anyone know what i can do?

What version of FF are you running?

3.6.3

Go to Adobe to verify you have the plugin installed (latest version is 10.0.45.2)

Go to Mozilla to verify you have the plugin installed - according to Mozilla

Go to Adobe to DL the latest version if either of the above give you negative feedback

Go to Mozilla for a step-by-step installation guide

Go to Mozilla for a step-by-step TS protocol (scroll down the page for various options)

You have probably seen (Google) a number of pages that detail this and similar errors, which some say is a site issue, others a FF bug (FF in some systems does not play well with YT)

Finally, if you frequent tech forums, you have no doubt seen posts that raise an issue that you do not experience even though you have a similar system. For example, I run Win7 Pro x64, FF 3.6.3, Flash 10.0.45.2 and have no difficulty with YT. Why? Who knows other than to say , "Well, Dynamite140 must have some system difference from Monk, a difference that, in some way, conflicts with FF/YT - assuming both apps are installed properly and current in both machines."

Since IE and FF handle Flash differently (ActiveX v. plugin) you cannot compare the two by saying, "Gee, I can view YT in IE but not FF."

All of this is a very verbose way of saying, I'm stumped. Maybe others can pipe in and I will keep an eye out should I see something on the Net.

Okay i just uninstalled Firefox 3.6.3 and installed Firefox version 3.5 and youtube works. Can someone explain this?

hurm.. no accurate explanation here.. i use ff 3.6 without any problems so far. maybe what happens to you is bad installation.
