I've already done Removal of Flash Player and Java and some other software from my system! So I got the latest versions of all these programs, but I still am having the same problem!

Firefox itself cant play the videos on you tube, they are all flash player videos. So firefox needs flash and the flash add on does the playing.
It is possible some settings in firefox have got messed up in the adbout:config section.
Have you tried using a new profile in firefox so that it starts fresh and with the default settings?

That's right, I've had to remove all of the Firefox browser and Flash Player and Java
Since I have to remove all of the software mentioned above I believe that the settings of Firefox will be normal (default settings + full settings.)
I was used a new profile before removing Firefox but now I do not know if it has been removed, "New Profile" from Firefox So what I can do now? :wink:

Hi, Ghot,
Do you have the latest active x. I gave that link specifically to update the active x plugin of adobe. This is not available in the general download.
Try to reset firefox. It will solve most of the problems, as firefox fix itself says. I think you know how to reset firefox. It will auto update, if you click about firefox menu in the Help field.
Adobe flash player's latest plugin have been updated regularly so also active x. This is shown as two items in the Avast Softfare updator tool in the avast free version.

Did you make sure to go and delete your old profile though? It is stored in 2 locations. AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming under your windows profeil and in both those folders you will see a Mozilla folder. That is where you profiles are kept and they stay even if you uninstall firefox. You have to delete those.

Hi, Ghot,
Why not you uninstall and reinstall the firefox latest version. You can even delete your privacy settings and this could take a few minutes to install some useful add on. I think, you can even save your bookmarks as html . I have done so some time back.

hi :smiley:

Hi, Ghot You might have updated the latest version of active x and adobe flash. But this pluggin should be done thro fire fox to enable this. The plugin is shockwave flash of the same adobe version will get installed. this is the needed plugin for firefox to play the flash.
To explain further,ctiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
Try it and your problem may get solved
