Black Flash Player Screen in YouTube in Firefox on ubuntu 11.10

Question

I have been unable to view any videos online since the latest Adobe Flash Player update. When I go to view a video on YouTube there is only a black screen in place of the normal player.

If you go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ do you see the spinning flash logo or your installed flash version information? — Ringtail, Apr 12 '12 at 03:20
If you didn't see the spinning "f" logo then you need to install or re-install flash — Ringtail, Apr 12 '12 at 23:32

I had the same problem and solved with this:

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/
