Embedded You Tube videos will not play
I am Member of a motorcyle forum which allows You Tube videos to be embedded in Forum posts.
When I try to view a video, the initial video Thumbnail can be seen, but clicking the screen to play the video just results in the "spinning wheel" and the video never starts to play.
If I click "Watch on You Tube", a new Firefox browser tab opens and the video plays on the You Tube web site without any issues.
If I use a different Browser such as Chrome to view the Forum web site, I can click on the embedded video and it wil play within the Forum web site.
As an example, there's a 6 second video clip here :
[Trophy Forum / "Driveline Slop"]
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Alan

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
Thanks for the amazingly quick reply !
I just switched to Troubleshooting Mode ( after searching to find out how to get into that Mode ) and it hasn't resolved the problem ?

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.
