Why can I no longer view streaming video from my LINKSYS WVC80N wireless camera using Firefox?
A month or two ago I was able to view the video from my LINKSYS WVC80N wireless camera on Firefox, but now I just get a top and bottom bar with no video between them. The firmware on my camera and router have not changed and their settings are the same as when it was streaming ok. Firefox has auto updated several times since it worked, but I do not know what the version was when it was working. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
there was bug #861595 with other linksys models, which is getting fixed in firefox 22. can you test if you see the same problem with firefox beta?
This sounds like a fix for Windows, unfortunately this is on a MAC Book Pro. Any ideas on the MAC Firefox version?
