Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!

With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg

Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

hmmm. have you tried playing with the flash settings on FF (hardware accelleration for example)?

It's a dumb/obvious remark but did you check if FF is actually showing the highres version of your video ?

Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..

Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..
