Embedded videos show up as blank spaces

All embedded flash videos show up as blank spaces, audio still plays and I can still click it as if the video was there but I can't see it. Tried all of the supposed "fixes" -Cleared cache and cookies -Started in safe mode -Disabled addon -Fresh install of firefox -Fresh install of flash -Turned off hardware acceleration

Absolutely none of them helped at all

With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer enabled until you enable it.

Open the Add-ons Manager by Pressing the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by; Tools > Add-ons.

Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) <Shift> A)

On the left side of the page, select Plugins.

BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

Thanks but that doesn't help at all and is marginally relevant. All plugins are enabled. Audio still plays and I can still use the buttons on the video player but the video is a blank screen.
