I just downloaded Firefox on the suggestion of my HP tech to because of video issues while in IE9. After the download I went to Fox News to see if video performance would be better, but the video won't even come up. Why?

You do not have the Flash plugin for Firefox installed.
You do have the "Adobe Shockwave for Director" plugin, but that is a different plugin.

Install the latest version of the Flash.
