Youtube videos blacking-out on Firefox

When I try to watch a youtube video, the videos will randomly black-out. I can still HEAR the videos if this happens, but I can't see anything!

If I full-screen the video, I can see... a portion of it... at least for a while. There's still an ugly black box in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, and even then, after a few seconds, the box will expand to cover the entire video again.

It seems random, which videos it happens, but when it happens, it happens every time I load that video; refreshing doesn't seem to happen.

This only happens on Youtube, and it only happens on Firefox.

I did a google search for the problem, to try and see if someone already had a solution. The closest I found was this guy, whose problem was being unable to play Youtube videos at all. I tried clearing my cache and refreshing the page, anyway, but it still didn't solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling flash player as its needed to play youtube videos.
