[SOLVED] Cannot launch videos

Post by Al_H »

Hi,
I have had lately problems to watch embedded videos. No problem with Youtube etc, but I cannot make start any video that is embedded in a website -i.e, those on LinkedIn-
I am pretty sure it is not a website dependent issue, but something across all sites with videos in the site(not those linked to youtube, vimeo, etc )
Any suggestion?

It will help if you identify a specific URL where you see this problem, particularly one for which it is not necessary to have an account.

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

i think this is somehow caused by a script filter, antivirus, or noscript, or ublock.
