Hi guys.

I have had an issue with safari for a while where facebook videos (i.e. flash) won't load. there's just a black space where the video should be. I tried uninstalling flash, resetting safari etc. to no avail. I gave up and used chrome instead which works fine.

Yesterday I bought a nice shiny new retina macbook pro and when I first booted it as it was downloading yosemite, the videos worked fine in facebook once I downloaded flash. Now I have transfered all my settings/apps/files etc from the time machine backup, the videos have stopped working. I have uninstalled everything adobe, reinstalled flash only, gone into the library and deleted the safari files etc. and this has had no effect (other than my frustration levels).

I have tried the delete all option in the flash settings, and the videos didn't work when I didn't have chrome installed.

Can any one help? It's pretty irritating....
