Safari has suddenly stopped to load Flash videos.
On YouTube, for instance : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJENlHEZi18
On another site too.
In place of the video, I just have a black rectangle.
In Activity Monitor, I do not see any Flash plug-in process.
So I guess the bug is in Safari.
Anyway, I did clear the Flash data in the System Prefs. To no avail.
It was working yesterday. Now it is broken. I did not change the prefs. I did not quit Safari.
This random bug is really annoying. I have reported it to Apple.
In the meantime, how can I have Safari load Flash videos again ?
Thank you.
I have Safari 5.1.10 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

One solution :
Kill the process Safari Web Content. Warning : In all pages, you will lose all the data you may have entered.
Explanation :
The process Safari Web Content has just been killed without human intervention. And Safari reloads all the pages. This is a bug in Safari. It happens from time to time, when many pages are loaded, it is a kind of process apoptosis. Now, I have the Flash Player plug-in process running, and Safari loads the Flash videos. :-)
Confirmation :
The bug has occurred again. This time, I have killed the process Safari Web Content myself. This solution works.
