YouTube Video Problems in Firefox

Recently I was having problems watching YouTube videos in Firefox 3. It played for a few seconds but after that it freezes on the screen and when reloaded it said “video is unavailable”. But with a quick fix, this problem was solved easily.

It was extremely frustrating, some videos played fine, but most froze on the screen. Initially I thought there was a conflict between Windows XP SP2 pack and the Adobe Flash player. But a Google search of this problem provided a quick solution and now the videos in YouTube work fine. This user tried uninstalling Firefox but the problem remained and he also tried removing codex pack, the videos didn’t work. But thankfully, CNet.com found a solution for it. The problem lies with the Adobe Flash Player. If you have Adobe Flash Player 9.0 version, then you should uninstall it with a free Revo Uninstaller. Search for Adobe Flash Player in Revo and remove this flash version and connected files. Then install the new Adobe Flash Player 10 beta version from the link here. Before you install the new flash player, close all the Firefox browser and Thunderbird windows. After installation, run the Firefox again, the videos in YouTube run smoothly without any hiccups.
