I suddenly cannot play videos on Facebook. The video still image is blurry and the video never plays. I have blue spinning circles in the center of the video image. If I try to play two or more videos, Facebook crashes.

I can play YouTube videos. I cannot play Rotten Tomatoes videos.

Also, all the links visible on my Facebook page have blue spinning circles.

I installed Bitdefender the day before this started. Not sure if it is related. I wrote to Bitdefender but have not heard back.

Also, right click on the task bar Firefox icon stopped working.

While I'm at it, left click on the task bar Windows icon works only half the time.

Thank you!
