When I go to the speedtest site I get a typical YouTube screen when a video is selected but won't play: a smallish yellow coloured screen with a big "Z" in the top left hand corner and a small "f" in a circle in the middle of the screen
A yellowish box with an f in a circle sounds like what noscript displays when blocking flash content.
and if one clicks on either one the whole thing goes *full* screen -- and that's it. Except that if one then tries to exit this mess Firefox shuts down.

Hi Dave, Actually I should have written "a big "S" and not a "Z" in the left hand upper corner". And Yes, it all had to do with NoScript. But let me explain. I knew that it had something to do with NoScript but I couldn't see why or where because I checked out the settings I had in NoScript and they all looked fine. And yet I was getting the result I was getting...... Then you mentioned what you did above and something clicked in the old brain -- and I went looking once again in NoScript. And what was causing the problem was------ -----that I had forgotten that some months ago for some obscure reason I ventured into NoScripts options and in the section which is headed "Embeddings" I had ticked the option "Apply these settings to whitelisted sites too". I don't know why I did this -- it probably sounded right at the time, but this is what was preventing speedtest from working. Speedtest.net is whitelisted in NoScript but this setting, naturally, negated the 'whitelisting'. I removed this setting and now I can run speedtest once again. Not to mention that I can also now play other videos on other sites (like the BBC) which suddenly stopped playing :-) .
