I still can't watch videos with Firefox 14.
Help please. I still can't watch videos with Firefox 14. So far I've downgraded flash to 10.3, tried an older version of Firefox (13), and disabled Realplayer plugin. Am I missing something?

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

If you've already tried all this, I'd suggest the following: Install Firefox 14.0.1. Update your graphics driver and Windows. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL Then test again.
Please tell us if this helped!
Can't you open any Flash videos?
Does your current Flash 10.3 version otherwise work properly?
Well it is finally working. I don't know why. I tired everything that was suggested and nothing changed. I had checked my plug-ins, graphics drivers, etc. and everything was up-to-date. Today is started working.
Thanks everyone.
If it happens again the try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
More to try:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
