Youtube doesn't work in Firefox

After updating Flash (at least I think that's when it started) - I can't watch Youtube videos anymore in Firefox. I just shows a black rectangle the size of the normal Youtube control, but it doesn't seem to load the actual video - there are no controls either (like a 'Play' button), not even when I hover the mouse pointer over it.

The Flash version is 10.3 r181, Firefox version is 4.0.1. Don't know if it's relevant but I'm using Vista, 32 bit.

Strange thing is, Youtube works fine in IE or Chrome. But Firefox has been my browser of choice for some time now, I'd like to get it to work... Sites like Gametrailers that use flash (I think) work fine in Firefox as well.

Anyone?

EDIT: I just saw a thread with an embedded Youtube video in it. I could get that to work - but when I clicked it to watch in on Youtube's own site - nothing...

Have you tried clearing the cache?

It's always the cache. It's as reliable a tip as "turn it off and back on again".

Heh, I'll keep that in mind!
