I can reproduce this with Opera web browser as well as Firefox 3. It's not just a Firefox related issue. It's happening since the 20th or 21th from this month (October), when I did an update. It contained the kernel update to -21. However it still happens when booting into -19.

Other flash applications (myspace music, flash games) work as usual. Except youtube (or any video site) videos. When the video stops playing (after 2-10 seconds) the network graph from the system monitor applet stops showing activity, and the video no longer keeps loading.

How to reproduce:
Open Firefox / Opera. Go to a youtube video. Press play. After 2-10 seconds the video stops and also stops loading.

Firefox / Opera don't crash, so there is no backtrace.

Additional Information:
pasto@anakin:~$ apt-show-versions | grep flash
flashplugin-nonfree/hardy uptodate 9.0.124.0ubuntu2

pasto@anakin:~$ apt-show-versions | grep jre
sun-java5-jre/hardy uptodate 1.5.0-15-0ubuntu1
sun-java6-jre/hardy uptodate 6-07-3ubuntu2

Firefox Extensions (in case they are needed, but the problem also happens with Opera):
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4
Add N Edit Cookies 0.2.1.3
FoxyProxy 2.8.9
NoScript 1.3.2
Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5

Additional comment:
Videos play perfectly through Elisa media center. I guess this points to something related to the flash plugin with video streaming.

[Pasto (hbandura)]

On my previous comment, I meant 'youtube videos'.

[Pasto (hbandura)]

Same thing happens with adobe flash 10 (by uninstalling the flashplugin-nonfree package, and installing the flash 10 .deb from the adobe site)

pasto@anakin:/tmp$ apt-show-versions | grep flash
adobe-flashplugin 10.0.12.36-1hardy1 installed: No available version in archive

So I'm going back to the ubuntu flashplugin-nonfree package. And reinstalling did not solve the problem.

[Pasto (hbandura)]

This got fixed for me with the last update.
I have no idea what it was.

[Mark Stosberg (markstos)]

This started happening to me with an up-to-date Hardy Heron system. I have no idea why.

[Mark Stosberg (markstos)]

This started working again for me on Hardy Heron. I'm still sure what triggered it.
