Firefox 3.6.12 won't stream video from Hulu or Amazon (websites say unable to connect)

more options

For a week now Firefox will not stream videos from Hulu or Jon Stewart (though adds load with no problems) or Amazon ("unable to connect"). YouTube, CNN and Netflix are working fine. IE works fine on all sites. No problems with my Internet connection.

Tried to (re)install all plugins. Did a clean reinstall of entire Firefox. Tried IE tab extension. Nothing worked.

I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently. Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.
