For some reason, Firefox felt the need to completely remove Flash in its recent update. As a result, YouTube and other video streaming services the site offers no longer work. Is there any way to fix this? Here's what the Mega Man 2 publication looks like when the YouTube button is clicked:

Didn't get that issue with it on or off.

I've been using ABP for years and it hasn't been blocking YouTube videos or most flash games, like Super Mario Bros. Crossover. It's only when Firefox updated to 34.0.5 today that the problems began.

Flashblock is known to be buggy with FF 34, if you have flashblock installed, that is likely the culprit.

I rebooted my laptop and tried a video, and it's working now! Turns out a restart was all I needed.
