HELP! firefox will not allow videos anymore!!! how to fix?
just installed a new update from firefox....big mistake....it was adblock update.

now we cannot see any videos like youtube etc. firefox did not warn us it would wreck videos.

1. Are you sure it's Firefox?
I've had no problems since installing the update last week.

6. Last time I updated Firefox (not 2.0, before that one) it stopped showing
pictures from Wikipedia -- after I switched Wiki to IE, the pix show up now.

But I STILL can't get the videos from Comedy Central to play, and never have been able to. *pout* Vids from YouTube play fine.

2. What??? Which update are you talking about?
Do you have the latest Flash installed (or is it Java...)?

5. YouTube is Flash
YouTube uses Flash, which may be off by default. Poke around your Firefox or adblock settings.
