    Flash not working with youtube

    Flash has stopped working. Whenever I try to view a flash app (like youtube) I get a message saying that the Adobe flash plugin has crashed. Reloading / rebooting etc does not help.

    Running Firefox 3.6.14, Ubuntu 10.10 32bit

    it looks like it has something to do with the new youtube layout. hulu works fine.

    Agreed, just tried using flash in other places and it's just youtube that isn't working. Anyone got a fix?
    A quick fix is to swap watch?v= with embed/ in the URL but it would be preferred if I got it working normally

    Well that fix proves it is the new layout. I guess this is on youtube's end? I just posted an error report with youtube.

    Even if there is an issue on youtube's end, which is likely, if the flash player plugin crashes the flash player plugin has a bug, no matter how buggy the content that is triggering the crash.
