I have the same problem: several pages that I go to on a regular basis that have Youtube video embedded in them, aren't displaying the video in Firefox, but those same pages in IE look and function normal. I just updated my flash player but the problem remains.

Anybody have any ideas?

Using:
Firefox: version 3.0.8
Flash player: WIN 10,0,22,87

You know what, I talked to my friend and he told me to just reinstall Firefox. I just checked, and I can get videos fine on IE as well. I bet its just a problem with firefox, especially if it only occurs while on it, and not while on IE. I'm gona try reinstalling eventually, and I'll let you know if it helps.

I used to have the same problem. The answer is simple - turn your ad blocker off (not necessarily your whole pop-up blocker). If you are uncomfortable with doing this then go to advanced on the adblocker page and type in youtube.com. This is if u hav windows then you should go to symantec firewall and select pop-up mor ad-locker then click configure :) tell me if it helped!
