YouTube videos constantly showing loading circle and not playing.
So I'm trying to watch videos on YouTube and all I'm getting is the spinning loading circle and nothing more.
I'm running version 37.0.2 (Most current) and the most basic add-ons that are up to date. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing Flash, I've uninstalled and then reinstalled FireFox and am still getting the same problem!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
- disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Actually, before doing any of that, YouTube randomly started working again! LiveLeak and Vimeo were working for me but YouTube wasn't at first.
Thanks for the help anyway!
