FireFox 40.0.3 doesn't play Video in Sliverlight plug-in (5.1) only Audio heard! It displays Black screen but actual audio plays without any issue.

The same video is playing without any issue in IE11 and Chrome.

VIDEOS PLAYING SOUND ONLY AND A BLACK SCREEN IN CHROME...For those using Chrome and not finding all these settings under options, accounts, security, etc., that everyone is suggesting, I was having the same problem. I found a solution. I went to play the video by clicking it, when it opened, I had the black screen and sound. RIGHT CLICK>SETTINGS> UN-CHECK "ENABLE HARDWARE ACCELERATION" I kept trying to click the box to un-check it, but nothing was happening and I couldn't click the other tabs on the menu or close it. I finally found that I could click just to the left of the box, on the edge of it almost, and it UNCHECKED THE BOX. Then it let me close the box and I restarted the video, IT WORKED!
