In my case youtube and cnn were working fine until the upgrade to 
Firefox 3 then anything that is flash shows up with the flash "F" in the 
middle and requires me to click it to start it.  This includes flash ads 
that might be on the screen.  CNN video doesn't work at all any longer 
while youtube may play one or two videos and then quits.
