Running videos under Firefox on Ubuntu

James odpovedal

I have a new Dell. Inspiron i5 running Ubuntu 20.04.1. I have the latest version of Firefox. I am unable to run videos from Gmail or Facebook. I have tried to install Adobe Flash with no success. Any advice?

Perhaps these videos are using a HTML5 player. Do you have FFmpeg and perhaps libavcodec packages installed?

Patent and copyright restrictions are among reasons why many Linux distros do not come with packages such as FFmpeg in a new install as it provides codecs needed to fully support HTML5 players.

As you are using a flavour of Ubuntu so perhaps see https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-ffmpeg-installation or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
