On Windows XP you probably do not have support for playing MP4 files in the HTML5 media player.

You can try to set this prefs to false on the about:config page.

  • media.directshow.enabled

This will disable the HTML5 media player and the website may switch to a Flash based player.

Anyone got a solution for this before i switch to an alternative browser?

Have switched to Chrome on my XP machine, where the browser works fine, as no fix forthcoming for Firefox.
