New laptop startup. Installed Firefox (has edge) and now in Firefox it will not play videos. Tried Youtube and just get a spinning wheel. Tried videos on other websites and get the same issue. Edge was doing that also and I had to change a setting in Edge. I tried that on Firefox following a web search for "videos won't play using Firefox" but have had no success.
