I am up to date with the latest Firefox. I thought that now I was not supposed to need Flash player, but I have had 2 sites now tell me I needed Flash first. One was Snapfish, I forget the other. This is getting to be annoying.

Firefox uses a flash plugin. It can't play without another programs help.

Flash Player Version 18.0.0.232
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users must download the “Internet Explorer” and “Plugin-based browsers” installers.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

But I thought recent changes to Firefox to include HTML5 Player and exclude Flash were supposed to allow all functions that used to require Flash to now work with HTML5 Player.

A project called Shumway is being developed by Mozilla to eventually replace the need for Flash and to play SWF files, but it is far from ready for release. http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
