Why does embedded YouTube video play in splitscreen format?

On my blog, I embedded a YouTube video. Using Google Chrome, it plays fine. Using FireFox it plays split screen, left and right (see screenshot image). I haven't installed or updated any software, so this seems like a FireFox / HTML problem. Anyone have any similar problems? Solutions? Thanks.

Another user reported the same problem. But when I checked it out, the video played normally.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Could be that you have enabled two pane 3D view for the YouTube media player, so check this via the settings (gear icon).
