Try this:

1. Close Mozilla Firefox completely (File > Exit)
2. Open QuickTime
3. Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences
4. Select "Browser Plug-in" from the drop-down list
5. Click on the button that says "MIME Settings"
6. Expand the "Miscellaneous" file format section by clicking on the "+" on the left
7. Uncheck "Flash file"
8. Click "Apply" and then "OK"
9. Close QuickTime
10. Open Mozilla Firefox

Re: firefox wont play clips
it sounds like you might need a newer version of flash.....

go to the flash website and follow how you totally get rid of old flash and install new after.

Youtube is mainly a flash site

Usually when firefox cannot play something or open a certain website it tells you at the top what codec it requires. Does it not state this?

Re: firefox wont play clips
You may need some missing DLL files. I'm sure you can find them on google.

You just put them in to your plugins folder.
