Flash Player replaces embedded video with a black rectangle

There are several embedded YouTube videos on a forum and all of them are replaced by black rectangles. The problem is in Edge and IE 11 on Windows 10. Some say the same with Chrome.

All potential solutions provided there were performed. None of them were really helpful. Cache cleaning also didn't help.

Can someone suggest something else?

We're not going to do any work for issues specific to Pale Moon. If it's happening in a browser listed on our minimum system requirements page, we'll support it. In this instance, if you're seeing the same problem on 32 or 64-bit Firefox, it might be interesting, but if it's just one particular site with embedded YouTube videos, there's a good chance that it's related to content... particularly if embedded YouTube videos on other sites work...

I can confirm that the problem does not arise in the latest version of Firefox [49.0.2] on my windows 10 machine.

Thanks for the reply.

Don't know how, but the problem has gone away.

Are you sure it's Flash Player? YouTube usually serves up HTML5 video content, not Flash. If you right click on the content, does it say About Flash Player?

Yes, I'm sure.

All the browsers mentioned above use Flash Player on that resource. Firefox uses HTML5 player.
