When I disable a plugin what does it do? Remove the plugin? Restore the previous version? I didn't thing youtube videos would work at all without the flashplayer installed. </blockquote> Sounds like that there is a mix-up in which libflashplayer.so is being used by your Flashplayer. In Firefox, type this in the URL box (the one where you type in, eg, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.memtest.org">www.memtest.org</a>): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:plugins">about:plugins</a> and a list of your plugins will be shown. Have a look at which Flashplayer version is installed and used by Firefox The latest is 11.1 r102. It will also be using the file libflashplayer.so. Now, go thru the full list of the plugins because there may be another version of Flashplayer still hanging around - make sure that it is or is not (I bet that there is v10 still hanging around - and this is also using *a* libflashplayer.so file). Check this out to start with. What has happened in the past, at least at my end, is that after installing Flashplayer the symlink to point to the correct, latest, libflashplayer.so was not altered and the latest version of Flash was picking up the old libflashplayer.so and....naturally Flash would not work. Check <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:plugins">about:plugins</a> to begin with.
