When trying to play any video on udemy.com, I get the following error message. "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later." Youtube videos work fine, I've tried troubleshoot mode and I've restarted my PC. Firefox is newly installed.

Fixed: https://support.mozilla.org/si/questions/1275882 Had to temporarily comment out the contents of my hosts file, because it was blocking the download of whatever file Firefox needed to play videos from udemy.com

Videos on udemy.com works fine on my PC with latest Firefox and Win10.
