It could be a blocked or corrupted cookie problem. To remove a site's cookies (save any pending work first), you can use this method:

While viewing a page on the site, try either:

* right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "Clear Cookies and Site Data"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "Clear Cookies and Site Data"
* click the padlock or "i" icon in the address bar, then the ">" button, then More Information, and finally the "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button

In the dialog that opens, you will see one or more matches to the current address so you can remove the site's cookies individually without affecting other sites.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

MSNBC is STILL ? using Flash ? I've not had it installed on Firefox now for 8-9 months. I just tried in Chrome and I get the same 'Must have valid token'

visitor, I hear you, I do not use Flash anymore, but when you click on those links below they were working good, not get that odd message.

Forget safe mode. This happens in all browsers, (I'm an FF guy, so I'm posting here)

I was able to play some videos. I did have to "sign in" and select Cox as my cable provider and then logged into Cox and it went back to the video. Never got an error message. Maybe it's a messed up Adobe or cable provider cookie?

I was able to do without signing in for years. Did you see that annoying message first?

It's a site matter... isn't it?
Try right-click the play button(left-top on thumbnail) and click 'Open Link in New Tab' for now. (this works for me, 64.0/uBO,etc./Win10)

Thanks Atlano! Good workaround. What is it with MSNBC? Million dollar company with 10 shows, and always glitches.... And what is that opening window asking about flash? I don't even think I have current flash, yet video seems to work.

Notice still don't have SSL.. crazy right? And... full screen does not work right? for ages...
