Try to disable Windows Media Foundation and set media.wmf.*enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

You can also try to set some prefs to false to disable some features more features. media.mediasource.enabled = false media.windows-media-foundation.enabled = false media.directshow.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.


You can right-click a pref and choose Reset to restore the default setting if a change didn't help. Note that you may have to close and restart Firefox to make changes affective.
