If that webcam is using a Java applet to control it then you need to update your old and outdated Java Plug-in 1.6.0_05

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

If it uses the Windows Media Player then you may need to install the new WMP plugin.
If if uses ActiveX controls then it wont' work in Firefox.

It is an easy fix..... right click the cam screen (ctrl + click) click settings on the left hand tab on the bottom of the pop up settings box and take the checkmark off of enable hardware acceleration
