Could be...and seemingly not a

I am running Sid, updated. This morning I tried
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ud_wGMXRnQ (the url above)
and it loads and plays. When I dropped the 's', I get the
black
screen of death both on Firefox 5.0 and Google-chrome.
Same for me (as I mentioned in an earlier post)--well, except
that I am
running:
Debian 5.0 (the stable release)
KDE 3.5
Iceweasel 3.0.6
(and am not running adblock)
And, I rarely update the system (software wise) (I know). I
occasionally install an additional package.
This has only
started lately, and the same URL's both work in Ubuntu
Maverick and
Natty with both Chrome and Firefox 5.0.
The problem started for me between 2 and 3 days ago. I don't
really
remember--at first I figured it was a transient problem that
would go
away, so I ignored it.
Sane here as I recall.
Seems to be it's a Sid
problem, unless we hear from other Sid users who don't have
the
problem.
It is apparently not limited to just Sid as I'm running 5.0
It's beginning to look like an Adobe flash problem. I'll snoop
around the Adobe site.
I paste here the response I gave on the other youtube flashplayer
issue.
If all you want to do is use youtube, and not fix the issue, I
cannot see *any*
reason for not using the html5 version of the player.
http://youtube.com/html5
is the url, type and enjoy!
By now, any decent browser knows how to handle html5!
