Firefox 49.0.2?

EDIT: I have sound but the image is black. Appears to be another breakage from having "dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled" set to "true" in about:config.

Enter about:config in the address bar, then enter asyncdraw into the search bar and Toggle the pref to false. That will bring the video back.

this fix was right ON.... thanks WaltS48; this issue seemed to occur right after I updated BLUR; my videos had always worked in USA Today prior to this...

do you have any idea what caused my video to stop working, while however my sound was fine ?
