No.
I have NoScript + Adblock filter set G and Google videos work here.

Maybe your Flash install has got messed up?

Actually I have similar problems. I haven't found a fix, I just use IETab whenever this happens (with one click it switches to IE)...Maybe your thread will motivate me enough to figure this out. Fat chance, though...

I have the same problem with the 1.5 firefox install on the computers at work. But on my home computer I don't have the problem, I think because I download XPcodec pack, but I'm not for sure. Unfortunately, I can't install the codec pack at work, but for some reason it allows me to install firefox.

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong, I managed to install the XP codec pack at work, and that seemed to fix the problem with google videos and other sites.

Just tried this out and it didn't help me out. Just thought I'd let you and the OP know. I still have to use IETab.

I'm thinking it could be an extension I installed...I might try uninstalling one or two and see what I get.

I had the same problem. A fresh install of the Flash software fixed it.

Try turning off obj-tab in adblock?
That worked for me in FF 1.5 when I was getting sound but no video from google video.
