When I click on an email link, I get sent to that web page but neither the audio or video works. I uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox but the problem still exist
When I click on a video or audio link in an email, it takes me to the website but does not play when I click on the play button. I uninstalled Firefox completely and re-installed it but the problem still exists. I do not have this problem with "Internet Explorer:" or "Chrome". I have also pasted the URL into the address bar manually and while it takes me to the web page, I am unable to get any sound or video on Firefox. I have been working to resolve this problem for 3 days now and nothing works. If I get get it fixed I will have to use another default browser.

Can you give us a URL to a page that should play a video but that doesn't work for you? It might help us narrow down what kind of video is giving you problems.

That is a Flash Player that plays an MP3 file.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
