That was the reason I gave up with Firefox.

Since last Wednesday when I try to play a video on YouTube I get a black screen with 'blocked plug-in, it that the same?
I got that on my Mac - you have to update to the new version of Flash to make them start again.

Mind you I use Firefox on a Mac and quite often YouTube won't play at all - it just stops for no reason and will not work again until I've rebooted. I've been told this is a Mac problem not a Firefox problem, and I don't have a problem playing YouTube on Firefox on my Windows PC at work.

Thanks for that! Ours is apparently an old Mac running on 10.6 Snow Leopard. Will try to download the new Flash version if I can work out how to do it (Technophobia)

What have they changed apart from hiding the menu bar? I don't know why they did that, it's like stopping a driver opening the bonnet of their own car. It took me a while to figure out that I could right-click in the space where the menu should be and click 'menu bar' in the sub menu. I haven't noticed anything else major, though.
