In the middle of a video on Youtube that I was watching today, the video suddenly stopped while the audio kept going. The video continues if I move my cursor over the video, but stops again when I stop. This does not happen on Chrome. I have Firefox 26.0.

I have faced similar issues in Chrome. Usually refreshing the page works. This is most probably a fault in YouTube's player. Are you getting this problem always? Please post the link to the video.

Refreshing the page does not work for me. It happens in other players as well as youtubes. I have this problem every time I'm playing a video in Firefox, if that's what you mean, so no point in posting a video.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
