Why can't I see videos on https://www.aljazeera.com

If I go onto the Aljazerra site, to a page where there is a video, all I see is a white space. For example https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/ has a Survivivors Ebola epidemic video at the top of the page but in Firefox it shows nothing but a blank space. I have supplied a screenshot. Although the screenshots show videos further in the page they are in fact links ,which when clicked also result in only white space. However if I use the Flashpeak Slimjet browser it displays all the videos with no problem. Can anyone help, as I'd rather stick with Firefox

What screenshot? Are you sure your not using adblockers or over-active security software.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I guess it is possible how would I ascertain if this was the case. I use Kapersky. I can see the videos clearly in Opera, Vivaldi and Flashpeak Slimjet so surely my security software would affect these chrome derivatives? Sorry, I have uploaded a screen shot and it shows to me if I'm logged in but doesn't if I'm not loggin in. So I can't unstand that either. Any advice would be appreciated.
