Try:

-Updating your flash player.
-A different browser. If that works, then its clearly Firefox.
-Disable all ad/javascript blockers/any extensions. Update.

^^ This is key. Sometimes this "black screen" is caused by AdBlock preventing youtube from loading the video. Try to disable that extension if you have it installed.

Hope that helps,

Try reinstalling firefox? Maybe you're missing an update or something

Have you updated to the latest flash player? And see if you might have to update Firefox as well. There might be some flash (plugin) issue. Do other video hosting sites work?
