In the past, my website, thelakewaytutor.com , would display a You Tube video that I made. Now, FireFox will not display the video.

Chrome will display the video.

What type of update did I install that now prevents FireFox from displaying my video?

The support team can go to my website, look at the source code and see what the error is.

I can see the video, however it's old, outdated code of embedding it with flash.

Instead 

<object width="425" height="349">
<param name="movie"  value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9jhOkRgApO0?version=2&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9jhOkRgApO0?version=2&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
</object>

you should use: 

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9jhOkRgApO0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
