I was on my old G5 running Leopard 10.5.8 and all of a sudden, black boxes from youtube, it was the same in Aurora, Firefox and Safari. Came back about an hour later and it was fine.

I'm on my Intel iMac running Lion now and it's running fine

That is really weird. I wonder if there was a temporary issue with the Adobe flash player? cbayer Oct 2012 #12
