Hi Imran, I can play the video in W7 using Firefox 25.01. You don't need any of the plugins that you have to watch it. I can tell you that because I don't use plugins with the sole exception of Flash. I disabled Flash and was still able to watch the video. So, to watch the video neither Silverlight or Flash is required. My guess is that the video is played using HTML5 but cant be sure about it because when I right click the video while playing, I don't get any information about it as HTML5 videos usually show.

Imran, I just did the test at HTML5test.com, my results are identical to what you got, including the "Buggy" result for Codec detection. That's not the cause of the problem.

i can play the video also in Firefox 25.0.1 but i see your Adobe Flashplayer is outdated
the newest flashplayer is 11.9.900.152 you can try and run there uninstaller then
reinstall and see if that helps

1.Uninstall Eset (with uninstall tool in safe mode.../http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=soln2289/)
2.Run Ccleaner
3.Test youtube(work or no)
4.Install another av
I think this will help...
