I have both Seamonkey and Firefox installed so I went to youtube with
them both.  Both played youtube videos fine here with just that last
version installed. 

The reason it had two question marks there, that version is no longer in
the portage tree. Once I uninstalled it, it disappeared completely. 

I hope it will fix your problem.  It seems you asking got me to fix mine
too.  ;-)
