Ubuntu – (Only) YouTube Videos automatically fast forward

flashsoundvideoyoutube

I recently updated my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04 lts and there seems to be a problem while I'm playing YouTube videos they, for no reason, start to fastforward (audio and video). This does not happen with other programs or websites only in YouTube videos. It does not matter if they are in flash or in HTML 5 player this problem persists throughout

For a very brief time, Youtube recently exposed an experimental player on their site with fast and slow play capabilities, and this may be affecting the current player. If this is the case, it would help to clear your browser cookies.
