Foxnews.com videos never play

more options

To all, When on Foxnews.com the videos never load and play. Their loading circle just spins even after the cows come home! I go to MS IE and they play fine. Ghostery is OFF and ABP adblocker is OFF.

Any ideas on how to get foxnews videos to play?

Thank you. Matt

Hello,

Did you disable those add-ons?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:

In Firefox 54 and below:

  • Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  • Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
  • Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  • Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.

In Firefox 55 and above:

  • Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  • Select the General panel.
  • Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
  • Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  • Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:
