Strange thing happen last week. One day I was on youtube, watching videos like I always do. Then ten minutes later I come back and the preview images are no longer showing up. They are just white, I also do not get any type of error message popping up. If I use Epiphany they show up. Note: the videos play without a problem and I have Real, Quicktime, and Java installed. At the time I was using Firefox 1.something so I upgraded and I am now using version 1.5.0.4 but the problem is still there.

EDIT: Nevermind, somehow in the load images option, youtube got placed in the exceptions, dunno how but works now I guess.

A very nice thing to read youtube videos is also mplayer plug-in.
In portage I believe, works really well (as does mplayer generally), read videos in the webpage, and you have some extra options like an easy way to save the viewed file using right-click on the video.

I thought I needed the latest flash version to play youtube videos - is there another work-around?
