Since I have used firefox for years I have to switch to Google chrome because firefox will not play videos. all other browsers work with the exception of firefox. This has happened on my desktop and my laptop along with my wife and sons computers. Even if we go to another hotspot it is still the same. We have tried to update flash layer ad even remove it and start over to no avail.
All other browsers work fine with the exception of firefox.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement?
