YouTube and news videos play fine but videos from jw.org or tv.jw.org do not. Error message reads "Error loading media Could not play video". Do I need a plug in to play these? These do play in Chrome but I'd rather use Firefox. I've tried to find the answer to this for 3 hours but to no avail. Using Nexus 7 (2013), Android 4.4.4 Firefox 32.0.3 Thank you.

In my case, Firefox 32.0.3 in Ubuntu 14.04 does not play videos from jw.org . I do not have flash player installed, and Chromium plays it with no issues.

One of the JavaScript libraries on the website needs to be upgrade so that Firefox is correctly detected as a browser that can play back HTML5 video.

Specifically the website team for jw dot org needs to upgrade a script called jwplayer.
