Here is the situation:

While watching a youtube video, sometimes, the sound will stop working (even the beggining of the video, which I saw WITH sound, no longer plays the sound) but the image still works (video keeps playing) Simply restarting firefox solves the issue..

update: same problem occurs in epiphany (another web browser available for ubuntu) Restarting epiphany also solves the problem..

fyi: I use Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic koala

If there is anything more you need to help me out, I'll edit it in this post.

Thanks in advance!

Same thing happens to me - be nice to figure out how to fix it. – chris Dec 17 '09 at 21:11
I'm not sure about this one, but the problem seems to have stopped as I solved a wireless connection issue (see this thread: superuser.com/questions/82461/…). The solution was to install wicd as a replacement for NetworkManager... Maybe this will work for you as well? – Shawn Dec 18 '09 at 3:02

I recommend you upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1. also, use the SmartVideo Addon. It'll help. You may also try the Youtube HTML5 mode.
