Videos from other websites do not play while I'm in Firefox ...even YouTube videos do not play without skipping forward then return back. FaceBook will not play at all. Yet if I enter websites via Explorer, no problems with playing videos. What setting needs to be changed in Firefox? Ready to pull the plug on Firefox!

Have you tried to play the videos in Firefox after disabling any ad ons?

You are using Flashblock. This stops clips from playing until you want. This is very useful when several pages with videos are open,
