Embed videos doesn't load on most of the websites, how can I fix my problem ?

more options

Hi. I'm actually on Windows7-HomePremium using Firefox 30.0 (up to date). Recently, since like 3 or 4 days, Firefox has stopped to load most of embed video. I'll try to explain everything that might be useful for you to help me.

-Youtube and Dailymotion videos = Perfectly works. Both normal sized and fullscreened. -Twitch.tv (and Azubu.tv which is less known) videos = Doesn't "load", it's not blank tho. The "player" region is black but I can still hear the sound. The strangest part in this, is that if I double-click the player to set it onto fullscreen, it actually works.

Screen of what happens : Normal webpage: http://puu.sh/aaphq/998d7ea568.png Fullscreen of the player: http://puu.sh/aapik/4530aeef48.png (Video works, I just made sure that I wasn't showing it's content because it's not like you and I do need it for this problem to get solved.)

Same problem with embed videos like from twitter/tweetdeck. Screens: http://puu.sh/aapA3/34492439dd.png (Tweetdeck) http://puu.sh/aapDi/845a235e3c.png (Twitter)

I think I told everything I could share about my problem. I really look foward for someone to solve it. Thanks in advance. Best regards, MoeHentaiMiku.

Edit 1: I already tried to fix my flash player by reinstalling it two times and setting it "the best way" (Like turning hardware acceleration off etc..), it didn't help.

Well, my problem solved several hours after trying to fix it. But I think that unchecking "Hardware acceleration" in Firefox options was the key. Thanks alot !

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I did all of these but nothing worked.

With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer enabled until you enable it.

Open the Add-ons Manager by Pressing the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by; Tools > Add-ons.

Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) <Shift> A)

On the left side of the page, select Plugins.

BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.
