Firefox "Not Responding" on YouTube Suddenly

As of yesterday Firefox is no longer loading YouTube videos properly. When I go to YouTube (any video) nothing happens for about 5-10 seconds, then Firefox is "not responding" for another 5 seconds, then it resumes. The video does not automatically start to play, I have to click it to start. It never did this before.

I think it might have been because of a Flash update so I've tried multiple previous versions and it's still not fixing the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've already spent a good 5 hours on this.

Hi,

Please try to Delete all the existing Flash cache in the Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Advanced. If the problem persists, you can also try the IE Tab + or the IE Tab add-on to temporarily watch problematic Flash content inside Firefox.

I'm using Windows 7 - I do not see Flash Player in the control panel. Do you know the path for Windows 7?

I deleted the cache via this folder path: %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player

Didn't have any effect.

If Flash player settings manager is missing then probably the installation is incomplete. You can try a clean uninstall and install it afresh.

Flash 10.3 r183 doesn't use the control Panel to access the Flash settings, so with that version you need the website based setting pages.
