I've had to refresh Firefox everyday to see videos on tumblr, Facebook or watch Youtube videos. I've already updated Flash and videos work on Safari for me, so I know it's not my computer. Even when I've shut down my computer instead of just letting it sleep overnight I no longer have video the next day. Streaming videos is not a problem. This has been a problem since the last Firefox update. So guys what's the problem with Firefox?
