I tried turning off noscript, adblock, and just about every other plugin I had 
for firefox with no success. Then I tried logging in as guest, using gnome & 
KDE, no success, then I noticed a MASSIVE slowdown in response. htop revealed 
gtk-gnash taking up about 85% of my processing power.
aptitude remove gtk-gnash fixed that, then an aptitude update & aptitude 
upgrade did this:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  csound{u} csound-gui{u} csound-utils{u} libcsound64-5.1{u} 
  libportmidi0{u} 

. Once that was done, and I reloaded firefox & turned on all my plugins, I now 
have SOUND & video again in firefox, including youtube.
not sure why I had those packages installed...
Amarok still works..
