Comment 61 for bug 410407

I can confirm the behavior reported by Jim as well. Strangely, on some
youtube movies, starting and pausing does work:

1. http://www.youtube.com/user/ubuntudevelopers?blend=3&ob=4 (embedded): no
mouse clicks register, except when using the click magic described by jim
and jsteinhart.
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLr21fKdpXg (same movie, not embedded):
works perfectly
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB1RutFp0Cc (first hit when searching for
"song" (just a random keyword)): same as nr 1

A pattern seems to be that movies with a HQ button don't work, and movies
that do not have a HQ button do work. Embedded movies don't work either.
Hmm... maybe ask Adobe for some source code? :)
