Newest Firefox 3 has many problems with opening youtube or any of flash based game. The problem comes random, for example :

1. Your run youtube video and it loads fully, and when you press start it only plays till 0:02 ( many people has this problem including my friends). 

2. Suddenly no sound in youtube video, or it starts without sound.

3.Flash game suddenly stops in middle of playing ( I did include one of many flash games in URL box that sometimes has that problem ) - and many times flash game suddenly has no sound 


I did fix all of these problems temporaly ( that means for that time only and after that problems continue on regular basis ) - I go into Tools -> Addons -> ShockWave flash and I disable it and then enable it and then it works properly.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a youtube link or flash game
2.Youtube video stops at 0:02, has no sound or dont want to load, flash game loses sound or stops responding
3.I quit and try again when I disable/enable ShowckWave player flash add-on.
Actual Results:  
The things dosen't work properly, very annoying bug.

Expected Results:  
The video of any sort (flash based) shoud work properly. Microsoft Internet Explorer has no problem with flash based applications of any sort, but we all want and encourage to fix this bug of Firefox that is troubling many people including my family and friends that are using Firefox as their Internet browser.

No more information, except many people are having trouble with this bug ( I know it from people from first hand, and people from all sorts of forums).

Which version of Flash are you using?  If it's older than 9.0.124
then please install the latest from the URL below and try again.
