I had an update to Firefox recently, and since then online videos (expect for some reason YouTube) are no longer working, so BBC iPlayer is not working, and other random ones you come across on various websites.

I have updated Flash, and Firefox, even reset Firefox, but still they are not working.

I get a "This content doesn't seem to be working" message, on iPlayer and similar on the other websites, its not iPlayer itself, as it works for me on IE.

Dont know what is going on with my Firefox TBH, because some of my ad-ons have stopped working recently, and its to the point where I might as well be using IE.

the plug in are not missing, they load, but the content itself does not play, just says that the content does not seem to be working, which is not the case in other browsers. Plugins are also update to date, I did mention that I updated flash, and nothing I can see which looks like it maybe causing a conflict.

Add ons are not the problem, as the reset has uninstall those anyways, and half of them were not working before hand anyways.

I have also done a system restore, which has not fixed it, as I have had an error with Office 2013.

Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quicktime-plugin-play-audio-and-video?esab=a&s=test+plugin&r=7&as=s

nice try, but the iPlayer, asked for Flash again, reinstalled it, and no joy.

Its something to do with flash and firefox, together, but hell if I know what.
