Vimeo Videos Will Not Even Display (Mac)
I've been working on this for over an hour. Vimeo videos do not even display in Firefox. I've included a link to a screenshot below. The area where the video is supposed to appear is collapsed.
I have used safe mode. I've updated to the latest Flash. I've made sure plugins have the proper permissions. I've tried a few different about:config settings. Nothing. Videos will not even display in Firefox.
Any ideas?
Firefox 58.0.1
macOS 10.12.6

Re: Vimeo Videos Will Not Even Display
Thanks, but as I said in the original post, I already tried safe mode. Makes no difference.
*Any* video on Vimeo does it, but here's one you can try:

As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Test in there & verify that it works there.
(I'm on XP & FF is using Flash for that clip, which kind of surprised me [that the clip worked], but I would think ? that in general Vimeo would not be serving Flash for most?)

That gives me a completely different website—at least in appearance. It's vimeo and the video works, but the site looks nothing like vimeo.com using my default profile.therube wrote:As a test, create a new, clean Profile.

I already emptied the cache as well.

I googled "WFM", but don't know how it applies. It apparently stands for Whole Foods Market. Any hints?RobertJ wrote:

Re: Vimeo Videos Will Not Even Display (Mac)
Any ideas why the problem would persist in safe-mode but not in a new profile?
Thanks

Thanks, but I already tried that too. One of the reasons I'm stumped. I've tried every about:config setting I know.RobertJ wrote: Go into about:config and set

Sorry but in that case I have no clue; it works for me using FF58.0.1 on OSX 10.13.2
I know that setting in about:config made a difference for me in the past for vimeo,
The only thing I can suggest is to look at the new profile you set up where it worked and see what about:config media setting are different than your settings in your default profile.

Yep, odd site Vimeo - it needs that as true even before going to the site. It also needs Flash already activated as well. Using 'Ask to Activate' will not work there.RobertJ wrote:Go into about:config and set

Does anyone know if it's trying to use Flash or html5?
Thanks
