This bug is saved now.
I would suggest you to use Firefox with HTML 5 player on Youtube because
for Firefox Adobe said they only provide 5 years security updates for
flash and then they'll drop Flash support. So HTML 5 will be the future.

Title:
firefox flash-plugin automatic installation fails on youtube
Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Problem occurs with:
* Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
* Ubuntu 9.04
* Ubuntu Karmic, all updates installed
1. From a fresh Ubuntu installation, go to <http://www.youtube.com/>.
2. Go to any of the videos.
What happens: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version
of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
What should happen: Firefox's plug-in finder bar appears.
Sites like YouTube query firefox about the availability of the flash
plugin, and if not found, display fallback text (usually including a
link to Adobe's download page) instead of triggering the browser's
native <embed> behavior for uninstalled plug-ins. This is usually
implemented using the Adobe Flash Player Detection Kit
<http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/download/detection_kit/>
and, more recently, SWFObject <http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/>.
SWFObject will be included in upcoming versions of Adobe Flash
Catalyst and Adobe Flash Builder, and since May 2009 it has
consistently been used by about 13% of the top 10 000 Web site front
pages sampled by Builtwith.

ab08-bafa6c8d0c6f>
Ubuntu's plug-in finder bar works only for <embed> elements, and
therefore it is working for fewer and fewer Flash sites over time.
A simple solution might be to hack firefox to always provide the
information that the flash capability is present, even when the flash
plugin is not yet installed. Therefore, the site would provide the
flash object, and the automatic flash plugin installation would kick
in.
