When I click the button below, the video player doesn't expand. I am using Firefox 8.0.1 Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas how to fix it?

enter image description here

Note: I do not experience this problem in my other browsers like Safari and IE.

Have you tried disabling your plugins to see if one of them is causing it? – SaintWacko Dec 15 '11 at 21:35
I tried disabling all plugins/add-ons then re-enabling, it worked for a while but problem came back next day. – IMB Dec 17 '11 at 17:23
Do you have any plugins that affect youtube? – SaintWacko Dec 18 '11 at 3:22
none directly related to youtube. – IMB Dec 18 '11 at 10:13
here are my current: plugins/extensions: i.imgur.com/IOQGI.png Note: It's working fine again now, I didn't do anything but I'm sure it will come back soon :-) – IMB Dec 18 '11 at 10:21

The solution is to clear your cookies from Youtube.com

If you got it working, most likely you cleared your history and cookies or they got reset. Deleting the cookies from Youtube.com fixed the problem for me.

I recently used the Firefox add-on FEBE to restore all my settings/passwords/addons from a previous install of Windows (upgraded some hardware). I believe there was some issue with restoring the cookies from a previous build.

I tried clearing cookies and it worked! Thanks – IMB Dec 22 '11 at 11:42
Hmm.. Well apparently it keeps coming back. I already cleared cookies twice. Worked for a while then problem's back. Even if I don't do anything just watch videos it comes back after a while. – IMB Dec 22 '11 at 13:59
What addons and plugins do you have installed? – Jack Dec 22 '11 at 22:34
