Video clips won't play
Flash player is either screwed up or something else - or Firefox is blocking videos. Having experienced problems (videos just sit there or won't load at all) I've just uninstalled Flash Player and am attempting to reinstall a new version - but it won't let me. Seemingly there's another version being loaded - but no way can I find that or know what's happening, so I'm stuck.
The whole thing stems from my inability to watch any videos on Firefox - not even YouTube, BBCi LiveLeak clips or even porn. Yesterday everything went well but today I can't even see gifs on Imgur. What the hell is happening? Why is Firefox blocking me?

Thanks Fred, for that very sound advice. To be honest I'd already ticked or unticked boxes as you suggest without it seeming to change anything and I'd become pretty exasperated.
However, with a touch of inspiration I cleared the cookies and restarted my PC. Then I was able to load Flash Player without any problem and (touch wood!) everything seems to work again.
Your advise obviously works but a restart is presumably recommended or needed as well.
