Flash plugin is blocked?

[MacMan988]

Hi, Today I went to youtube to watch a video and the video page appeared with the a black square where the video should be and it says "Blocked plug-in". I havent been doing any changes on my mac, havent installed any new extension etc.

Any ideas how it got blocked and why it is blocked?

Thanks.

Yes, I have Safari 6. It seems I was having an outdated flash player and updating it fixed the problem. Thanks for the link.

Btw, I thought Apple only disabled Java plugins. Or are they disabling all out dated web plugins ?
