I have just installed the latest version of firefox (67.0.3) available for my OpenSuse 13.1 (32bit!) laptop. It plays youtube videos without problem, but all other videos tried up to now, in particular Facebook, do not play. The advice found, namely: "clear cookies and cache" does not help. Probably some library/plugin/... is in the wrong place or missing

Did you check the Web Console for error messages?

Do you have the latest FFmpeg packages installed?

Why not OpenSuse 13.2 ?

many thanks!

the hint with the Tools -> Web developer -> web console was the good one.

I then installed all kinds of things called mp4/codec7... until I found the packman repository and zypper install gstreamer-plugins-libav

it seems to work fornow
