OK now maybe there is something useful, whether for this or not.
When you say two plugins, do you mean gnash and mplayerplug-in?
Yes The output from about:plugins seems odd to me, but not from just
checking, but from previous looks
Nope. You've got both mplayerplug-in and gecko-mediaplayer installed.
>From their descriptions, they do the same thing.
The gnash package is a different flavor of headache, but could also be
related.
It took a day to download, but I've now got the most recent snap
(mine's about two weeks old). I'll get it installed in the morning and
see if I can replicate the errors you're seeing.
Until then, install the win32-codecs package and see if the problem
evaporates. You'll need to build it from source due to licensing.

I think I have found the problem
I had installed vlc and vlc-web.
This seems to cause a conflict. Whether the conflict is with my addon
(which is only supposed to work at youtube) or with mplayer is unclear.
deleting gnash and/or mplayerplug-in did not help.
With vlc gone, all is working again.
Should I have mplayerplug-in and gnash or just one?
Thanks
