Dear List,
My Firefox 3.6.13 on F14 used to be working properly when watching Youtube videos. Now the videos are shown only in black and white, no colours. Did anyone experience the same thing and know how to fix it? Thanks in advance. regards,

Have a look to this link: I removed cookies for youtube and colour came back (until I moved to a different page!!). I have filed a bug Bug 682456 - Video from Youtube is monochrome

I have found a workaround:
you have to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash player. As probably the settings button is greyed, please visit this site http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html By right-clicking you can disable hardware acceleration and then enjoy Youtube again. Let me know if it works for you

My sister uses Ubuntu and has recently been having trouble with Flash not working from youtube. Their forum has just pointed her to the exact same place. I'd suggest that everybody save this for future refrence.

Well I've got a workaround to fix this, let me help you:
Let's do something quick, for example:
1) Go Here: http://www.youtube.com/user/YouTubeHelp#p/u
2) Right Click on the big video showing at the left, go to "Configuration" and then uncheck (deactivate) "Hardware acceleration"
3) Click "close" and Go to the video/videos where you're having trouble, refresh the page and the video should display correctly.
No matter if you clear your browser's data, all the videos from now will display correctly.
Let's wait for a Flash Player update in order to get hardware acceleration working properly...

In my sister's case, the issue's with no sound from youtube and this didn't work for her. However, she's having similar trouble with other things, such as playing .mp3 files, and we're investigating possible solutions through the Ubuntu help forum. Thanx anyway, because this might help others.

I don't think everyone has to wait. The hardware acceleration seems to work OK with AMD/ATI graphics hardware. It genuinely seems to do some hardware acceleration, as the CPU load changes when I turn acceleration on and off. However, acceleration does really funky things with the nVidia graphics hardware I have tried.
