Which version of firefox are you using?

What plugins/addons do you have installed?

Let's try starting firefox without ANY plugins installed.

surf over to youtube and see if it'll play a video.

Have you updated adobe flash player for firefox?

I don't believe it did.

Did you do a fresh reboot from a clean disc and reload, or did you 
start the process from within windows that you think had malware?

If you did have a malware issue causing it, the reloading from image 
would have nuked the malware issue. Unless, the malware issue was 
already present when you created (not restored from) the image.

Yes, but each time I've heard/observed it, the cause/repair was 
different. In one case, noscript was blocking youtube. In another, it 
didn't have a good copy of adobe flash player installed that firefox 
could use. In yet another case, the firefox browser was corrupted. And 
in yet another case, Malware was preventing the flash player plugin 
from being loaded by Firefox. I have also seen various types of 
browser toolbar addons become a problem. But they weren't restricted 
to just messing up youtube videos. Some of them would mess with hulu 
video playback as well.

Different reasons for it, different fixes.
