^the solution is to trash your Flash Player preferences under the ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia.

what do you mean by that?? where can you find that folder at?

Flash on OSX has always sucked. I’ve pretty much disabled it completely on my older TiBook.

Apparently, the latest-greatest flash plug in has fixed a lot of the OSX issues, though I’m so happy with my flash-less web on my Mac, I don’t know if I’ll have the motivation to install it. ;o)

That said, if there was any argument to install it, YouTube would be it.

sadly, i have not found a way to download the video for a mac via firefox browser plugin, but i do know there is one for a PC at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/ which works for the mac version of firefox, but sadly, the player to play google and youtube videos is for pc only, unless that has changed in the past month.

Someone found trashing the Macromedia prefs did the trick.

I had this problem for a little while on mine at first especially with Firefox. I’m not sure how I fixed it, but somehow I got it to eventually work correctly. I think I downloaded and installed the plug-in about 4 times and then it started to work properly
