Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

Do you have a firewall or antivirus software that is blocking the Flash player? Have you recently updated your security software, sometimes that can tweak the allowed programs list and you'll have to manually add programs back in.

You may consider running a full system virus scan and spyware scan since the message is slightly suspect. The key is the "hello".

Running Firefox with NoScript can cause this to happen. When you get to youtube right-click on the no-script icon in your tray, and choose to allow or temporarily allow youtube.com

In IE, depending on your security settings, you may have to add youtube.com to your trusted sites.
Tools > Internet Options > Security > Sites

I suspect NoScript as well...

Unless you're not running NoScript. :p

Did you upgrade Firefox recently? Some earlier versions of Firefox had problems with Java. Try going to v2.0.0.8, if you haven't already.

Also, check your Firefox settings: Tools > Options > Content - and make sure javascript is enabled.
