If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

  • make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Turned of two options in Adobe Flash and it worked. Since they were safety options I turned them on and Firefox/Xfinity/Comcast worked. Now back to original settings and Adobe Flash video (known junk) still works....
