You could have a video playback issue in FF itself. Try installing FF nightly (alongside FF) and see if it works.

Alternatively, there are stripped versions of Chrome like Cromite that you can try.

Thanks, i like firefox, have been using it for ages, restarting it fixed it, must have been some weird glitch. Not in a market for new browser just yet though as long as this one is superior. Ad-block capability is probably number 1 requirement though and no hidden data theft.

Yeah. I am probably posting this in the wrong community, but I use Cromite over Firefox because its adblocker is native (hence much faster than FF, especially on Android), and it’s more “hardened” for security/privacy in a multitude of ways, like anti-fingerprinting spoofing/tricks, an internal firewall, strict default policies, things like that.

There are variants of FF that lean in that direction as well, though I am less familiar with them.
