Cant play youtube videos!

When I try to play a youtube video, It shows a black screen for couple of seconds (no buffering icon either!) and then suddenly the progress bar just jumps to the end as if it has finished playing the video. This happens for some youtube videos but the same videos can be watched in IE without any issues. I tried clearing the cookies and history, but didn't work. I am on the latest adobe flash. Is there any way to fix this? Below is a youtube video that I am trying to play but firefox doesn't wanna play it!

I think its an add-on problem, do you use any downloaders, it may have fetched the video and inform FF to stop downloading.

Try to use firefox in safemode.

Tell if you don't know how to start FF in safemode

I have removed all the download add-on's and restarted the firefox, still the same problem. Let me check it in safemode!
