Firefox made another update in the last few days, WHY?
Firefox released the infamous 3.6.14 bug - er - I mean "update", which hosed the playback of Youtube videos for many of us.
But wait - HOPE! A new update kicked in, today! 3.6.15!
SURELY this must be here to fix the problems caused by 3.6.14! Mozilla to the rescue!
But, alas, it was not to be. 3.6.15 didn't fix the Youtube glitch. From what I am reading, it didn't solve the problem for anyone.
So, WHY put out an update, so soon, if not to correct one of the biggest problems the previous update CAUSED?
This makes no sense to me.
So it looks like we're still suffering through this Youtube problem which 3.6.14 caused.

got this info from norsehawk: Just found an answer that worked for me on the youtube forums, if you change the http to https it let me view videos on youtube.
i wasn't having problems with youtube until today. not sure what changed but i got the black screen like many others. i tried the solution above and all is well.
hope this solves the problem for you.
Efreak & Jake, thanks for the news.
Yes, sounds like it was in the last couple weeks that the bad flash was released. I really REALLY wish I could bug them about that bug! But I will hold off on updating until I know it's been addressed.
Likewise, I'm curious about the https, but I'm not going to try the new flash just to try that. Maybe some others will chime in who have tried that? It would be curious if that would really be a fix.
I'm building a newer desktop but this problem will continue to be an issue, since I'm not replacing my laptop yet and will continue to use it for portability.
Any news on a Flash update which will fix this problem?
@RonQ You could try the update Adobe just released today: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
