Let's start with this;

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Wow. A motorcycle that drives itself.
I trust you updated your flash. Is there still a problem?
Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}
first of all I tried on different computers, same result. graphic driver is updated as you said. flash player is updated. and also tried in same mode, to no success! So you watched the video meaning that it works for you. Does this problem have a relation with version of operating system? the machines I used, both have win 10.
The video is HTML5 and not using Flash Player Plugin.
You can see what your system supports at https://www.youtube.com/html5 as all check marks should be blue.
If you have a N or KN edition of Windows that you may not have the media feature packs which provides the necessary codecs.
