Hi Sergey,

Firefox does not offer support for playing video and flash files in editable HTML elements (DIV, IFRAME, etc), but only when previewing the produced HTML content outside them. The content area of RadEditor is editable IFRAME and this is the reason why the youtube flash video does not play in design mode of the control.

You can verify my words by testing any other web based editor and try to insert a movie or flash in Firefox and you will be not able to see it. You can also test the official Mozilla demo editor at http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/

In order to visualize the flash and media elements that Mozilla does not play, the editor uses its content filters to display an image (the flash icon) on the place of the flash / media embed tag. When switching to Html mode or submitting the content the IMG tag is converted back to its original flash / media embed tag without modifications.
