I can't watch youtube videos in either chromium browser or firefox. I've tried installing a plugin or flash player, but neither seem to work. I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm not real experienced on working on computers.

Ok, I found the fix! I uninstalled the Adobe flash player, and now it works. Not sure why, but now I can watch YouTube videos in either Firefox or Chrome, and websites that require flash work now as well. On YouTube, it still asks you to install a plugin, but then it plays it anyway. Thanks for all the help!
I must admit that it is difficult to find a good browser that plays flash. So I installed this one and am much happier with the performance.
1Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras fixed the problem for me. Click the above link to install it using Software Centre or use the command below to install using the terminal:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
