When I click a news video on fox news the icon keeps spinning but doesn't open. This just started happening recently when I was notified that my flash player was out of date so I downloaded the the new flash player. Other news site work fine like CBS and CNN. I am still using windows XP 32 bit. Any solutions? Much appreciated!

Did you get an update before the problem started?

As a test, disable your flash and ad blockers.

I did get an update from mozzila saying I needed to update flash player. After I downloaded the update Fox News would not stream, But the ads stream when the ad is finished the buffering icon comes on and keeps buffering no news videos

I have absolutely no problem watching videos on     foxnews.com    (did not disable Flash or AdBlock Plus).
Did you check out the link I provided   ?

Yes I did check out fox news trouble shooting link. They said make sure you have the latest browser, and flash player, also latest java script. I'm still running windows XP. Java is not supporting XP. Is there any other solution? CBS news, CNN news stream alright also youtube

It is confusing to most people,   but   Java   is   not     JavaScript  .

To check if   JavaScript  is enabled in Firefox:
Type in the address bar:   about:config (promise to be careful) Type   javascript   and search for javascript.enabled and make sure that it's value is set to   true
