I assume you aren't blocking ads (in Safe Mode, any ad blocking extensions are deactivated) or if you are, you could try creating an exception for the site.
</p>The plug in does not seem to be the problem. I get no error messages.

I only have one plugin Shockwave Flash 14.0.0.145. When trying to play the video I get a dark grayed out rectangle that dimly shows a map of the world that just sits there after loading.
</p>Is there an error message? What do you get where the video normally appears?
In case you haven't run2014-07-17T07:24:22-07:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011230#answer-604910<p>Is there an error message? What do you get where the video normally appears?
</p><p>In case you haven't run through "the usual" yet:
</p><p>When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
</p><p>(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
</p><p>Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
</p><p>Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
</p><p>"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) &gt; Options &gt; Advanced
</p><p>On the Network mini-tab &gt; Cached Web Content&nbsp;: "Clear Now"
</p><p>If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
</p><p>(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
</p>
<ul><li> right-click and choose View Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li><li> Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) &gt; Page Info &gt; Security &gt; "View Cookies"
</li></ul>
<p>In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
</p><p>Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
</p>
<hr>
<p>In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: <a href="/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode" rel="nofollow">Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode</a>.
</p><p>You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" button &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li><li> Help menu &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li></ul>
<p>Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
</p><p>After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (<em>not</em> Reset).
</p><p>Any difference?
