I have fixed this bug.

here is how:

I have first using Synaptic Package Manager remove all the "flash
plugins for mozilla" that were installed in my cases 3 of them
(Shockwave Flash plugins 8.0r99 non free, SWFdec Mozilla Free and
Mozilla plugin Gnash). In order to do that, just search for flash in
Synaptic, you will get a list and select the mozilla flash plugins tht
are installed for removal. Then click on apply.

I have then search for the "flash" package again using Synaptic and
pickup this flashplugin non free 9.0.152 Adobe Plugin Installer.

I can now see my youtube video without problem.

I have also remarked that while installing automatically the plugin with
firefox instead of using Synaptic, the installed plugin goes in the home
directory under a hidden .mozilla folder. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT FOLDER
WHERE THE OTHER PLUGIN ARE INSTALLED. That is why they will then not be
recognized and used by firefox (this explain my case with the Shockwave
Flash plugins 10.0r15 adobe non free that I have installed but was not
used => no video box). For the other plugin that came with my firefox
version, the non free adobe Flash plugins 8.0r99, it was just an old bad
version that needed to be updated.

I don't know if there were some conflict between the plugin but I rather
did jut install one of them.
