Fresh install of windows, fresh install of firefox, fresh install of codecs, realplayer, quicktime alternative. Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 using Firefox 66.....youtube works, facebook doesn't. Can't get the videos to play past the first frame at all, they just sit there. The controls popup fine, click play, and it acts like its playing but doesn't move, no audio, and its stuck at the first frame of the video. Anyone have any ideas?
