ANY Videos in Firefox Don't Play
I've been trying to solve the issue by testing it in Safe Mode, by Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, my Adobe flash is latest version, and still can't get no videos playing.
I try YouTube or Vimeo or any videos on any website, nothing.
When starting a video, it seems it will begin to play, it moves for just a second, and then start loading and loading or simply staying still. Nothing happens, in the end, no matter how long I leave it.
I can see that actual video is loading, but it just wont play. I can, however, keep on pressing play/pause button, and it would move a video forward by a second, and freeze again
It all plays fine in Chrome.
Issue was not here only until for last week or so, have not done anything differently during this week, cant think of anything such, then where did this issue come from??
HOW do I sort this?

Youtube currently uses the HTML5 player.

Ok, so I downloaded the YouTube Flash Video Player add-on and I can now play YouTube videos, but only in Flash Video Player mode. The problem remains the same if I switch to HTML Video Player mode.
As for Vimeo, non of the options, Flash or HTML Video Players work.
Is there anything else I can do to make it work videos from sites like Vimeo too?
Thanks for a help!
By the way, I also went on downloading and installing Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 (I am on Windows 8.1) but got a message as per attachment?
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
