I've updated to Firefox 19, downloaded the latest Adobe Flash version. Maybe some cookie or something is needed?
However, for the first time EVER in many years of using YouTube and NEEDING it, when I click on YouTube on my new Firefox 19 (I have Windows XP), NOTHING comes up -- only a blank white page.
Please, please give me instructions in order to fix this problem. If you suggest that I get rid of or else put in some sort of cookie, just tell me what to do, please! I'll appreciate it very much. Thank you, Prof. Tish Hill
Will the videos play on Youtube, but Not on facebook? If that is the case you need to somehow download windows XP service pack 3. I know it's strange- but facebook uses only the latest adobe, while youtube doesn't need the XP SP3 to work. Good luck finding SP3
first of all make sure u got all the drivers installed for the grafic adaper, second make sure u got flash player installed on computer
hope will help
best regards

On whatever browser you are uaing make sure cookies are enabled and also flash (both under browser settings) then if you have any plugins adblock, ghostery, etc... Pause or disable them temporarily (either settings menu or click on plugin icon depending on browser) and than refresh the page/reopen browser. Of still not working try another browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE). If still not working go to the Adobe Flash website and download and install the latest Flash version.
If after all this you still can't get videos playing make sure all the latest windows updates are downloaded via windows update (control panel) and the restart the computer. Good luck.
Videos on YouTube are streamed through Adobe Flash player. If you're having trouble playing videos on YouTube, we suggest you install the latest version of the Flash player.
Please follow these steps to upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's Flash Player:
Before installing Adobe Flash, you will need to first uninstall any older versions you currently have running on your computer. To do so, download Adobe's official uninstaller here. Make sure to select your correct operating system, and then "Uninstall Flash."
Now that you've uninstalled the older version of Flash, follow Adobe's instructions for reinstalling the most recent version. The download option is on the right-hand side of the page.
Once you've downloaded the file, please exit your browser first, and then install the upgraded version of Flash to you're computer.
Finally, open your browser again and go to YouTube. You should now be able so successfully watch videos!
If the instructions above don't resolve the issue, please also try the following:
Temporarily disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test.
Allow YouTube.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.
Hi, the videos may not play if the Adobe Flash Player in the computer may corrupt or not updated to latest version. Please download and install the latest version of the Mozilla Firefox and then download and install the Adobe Flash Player. Please restart the Mozilla Firefox and visit the Youtube. Now the Videos should be playing.
Please search in google as Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to get the download link for the Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player.
Go to firefox.com and download the latest version of their browser. Firefox works seamlessly with YouTube but you also have to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ to download
Is it only youtube or any other web site? Any errors. Try to install flash and shockwave from Adobe and maybe some codec with windows media player or quicktime. Sometimes they are required by some pages of youtube.
If you keep getting "HELLO, YOU EITHER HAVE JAVASCRIPT TURNED OFF OR AN OLD VERSION OF ADOBE'S FLASH PLAYER....GET THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER":
don't bother downloading and re-installing the latest Flash over and over and over again. You will get absolutely nowhere doing that, because that is only adding to the problem.
There can really be only 3 possibilities: → something's wrong with YouTube → something's wrong with your cache → something's wrong with Flash 10
YOUTUBE: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Your problem could fix itself in a few hours, or the next day, because YouTube actually shuts down a lot of their servers every day without telling anyone, (in order to update things). On those occasions, it's really YouTube's transmissions of "JavaScript" and "Flash" which are poor, not your reception of it. This creates "time-out" or "run-time" errors, giving that message. You can sometimes fix this by either: hitting "F5", clicking "Refresh", or clicking "Back"/"Forward".PLEASE VOTE.
CACHE: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If by the next day YouTube is still showing you that JS&FP message, maybe your "temporary internet files" and cache memory are full and cannot take anymore. As such, videos can't even begin to buffer.
"Temporary internet files" are 1000s of little bits and pieces of websites put on your hard-drive. They'll stay there forever, slowly plugging up your computer, (like hair in a sink drain) until you get rid of them. Otherwise, one day your YouTube will suddenly be "stuck".
Because your computer now has such little space in which to "cache" a video, YouTube will mistakenly think that your JavaScript's "runtime environment" or "buffer overflow" is off, or that your player is "FLASH 7".
The solution to all that is to first exit YouTube, but not your browser. After, clear your "cache" of all its "TIFs", "cookies" and "history". (See below.) After that, shutdown and reboot.
FLASH: ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Watching YouTube vids hasn't changed in the past 2 years. (Believe it or not, you can still use "Flash 8" if you'd like to). The newer Flash players are giving many YouTubers plenty of grief -- particularly since there are 11 different "Flash 10s". It's nuts that there is 10.0.525, 10.0.576, 10.1.218, 10.2.26, 10.2.54, 10.12.10, 10.12.36, 10.15.3, 10.22.87, 10.23.1, as well as 10.32.18 now.
Most updates are good for only 1 thing:...Software conflicts. I've never strayed away from 9.47, and many "flashers" use 9.45 still. Think of them as Windows XP compared to Vista. Look at what the Asker said after this Best Answer of mine: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?… If that seems interesting to you, here is the appropriate link: http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php?…
Note 1: if you've got an "Accelerator", dump it, burn it, rip it, kick it, trash it, disable it, uninstall it...get as far away from it as possible. There are "Torrents", "Messengers" and "Ad Blocks" that also conflict with YouTube.
Note 2: some longer videos may need "Shockwave" to play properly.
Note 3: if you downloaded Flash, did you actually complete the process and INSTALL it? If you have Firefox or IE 8, did you enable their add-ons?
