Firefox broke videos

Well I woke up this morning and youtube, BBC news and dailymotion (and I presume everything else) isn't working...

Youtube thread on here is just showing black boxes. When I click on a youtube video it looks OK (no preview image), when I click start "An error occurred. Please try again later."

I've tried uninstalling and installing but no luck..
Any ideas :s?

What flash version do you have installed? The latest one was breaking for me so I rolled back to 11.2.

Previous Flash versions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Adobe has gone even further and released instructions for downgrading Flash Player to a previous version. Users should on no account downgrade to build 11.2, however, as it is known to contain critical security vulnerabilities which are currently being actively exploited. Instead, users should install Flash Player 10.3, in which the vulnerabilities in question have been fixed in a similar way to version 11.3 since Adobe is continuing to supply enterprise customers with security patches for Flash 10.
