Beware of Latest Flash Update
Adobe’s latest version of Flash will break this site, youtube, et al. when using Firefox. If you’ve updated to flash version 9.0.115.0, the flash-stylized links of this website will not work. Youtube videos will load only the first two seconds, and play with no audio - albeit this behavior occurs intermittently.
Fortunately, you can check your version of flash, and download version 9.0.47.0 (the last version of flash that actually works). The appropriate installer can be chosen from the “fp9_archive.zip\fp9_archive\9r4\” directory.
There are plenty of sites and suggestions out there about turning off services, moving dll files, clearing cache, reinstalling Firefox, upgrading to FF Beta 3, or even “upgrading your internet connection to prevent choppy playback.” Don’t listen to them. They only think their particular solution works because the youtube playback problem comes and goes, and just happened to go at a certain point in their troubleshooting flail.
This is the only solution that works. I had particular insight into version 115’s flaws because my youtube problems were coupled with the links on this site being broken permanently after the flash upgrade. Despite how youtube was doing on any given day, the links here were always unresponsive - and now they work perfectly with revision 47.
