The latest version of flash doesn't play videos on Firefox. So, I uninstalled flash and installed an older version. This solved my problem. However, when I instal the latest version of flash on IE, videos stop playing again.

I tried all sort of things like disabling different extension/plugin etc.

I think that if I could download an older version of flash both in Firefox and IE it will solve my problem. But I am not sure how to download an older flash for IE.

Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash plugin?

The problem got solved by itself for some reason. I am not sure what happened. Thanks for your reply. I will be sure to try it out if the problem occurs again.
