But! I found the cure just now from here:<br><div><div><div><br><a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue" target="_blank">http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue</a><br>

short solution is to cd to where ever the adobe libflashplayer.so is and run:<br><br>perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so<br><br>to make it look for a non-existent file.It will make a .bak file "just in case". Now either restart (all my zillions of) browser(s) _or_ kill the /usr/lib64/xulrunner/plugin-container process and firefox will restart it when it's needed. That will force a reload of flash and youtube is no longer blue.<br>
