Other non-Youtube such as the lectures from Brighttalk, cause a small windows -- "Do you want to allow ... "- to appear So yes, I can view flash.
Do you have flash installed? And flashblock? The latter often causes problems at youtube. It argues with FF what is allowed and what not, causing a race condition, trying html5, and if this fails, as there is no flash support (because it is blocked), then fails completely.
I have Flashblock 1.5.19. According to the docco, that is what causes the "Do you want to allow ..." message. So why does it work with others but not Youtube?
I guess because YT tries to detect what you have available, flash and/or html5. If it tries flash first, as it is blocked, it thinks you don't have it, so it turns to html5, which not all videos have it, and then it fails. Sometimes it plays audio, no video. You have to restart the video (rewind), sometimes it works. Others, reload page.
Well there's a "whitelist", but i have my doubts.
Simpler to turn it off.
You can turn it off automatically on youtube. It is simple to do. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
