Ran into an issue the other day with Ubuntu 9.1 64bit. On Youtube, the video's you display the image, but when clicking on the video, it would not play. Here's how I fixed this...
1. Uninstalled the flash player via Synaptec
2. Ran:
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
3. Next ran wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz. THis downloaded the latest flash player to my current directory (in my case ~/Downloads)
4. extracted the contents to this folder.
5. Next I ran: sudo cp ./libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
6. Restarted Firefox and went to Youtube. When it asked to install missing plugins, I told it to ignore. Video's played promptly...
