This works fine for me. I tried this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXzladhscMQ and it starts playing right away. 
What's the flash version you're using? You can see it in Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins.

Also, do you have any extensions running?  Perhaps one that is flash related?

That it works in IE doesn't mean that it's a Firefox bug because IE is using ActiveX plugin and all other browsers are using NPAPI plugins.
This worsforme for most users and a few seems to have this problem.

You could try the flash10beta which fixes this for many people.

The flash 10 beta is a beta and there could be other problems with it.
Don't forget to upgrade to 10 final if it's available.
