both files appear the same [wmv]. Chrome can play both files. On firefox, it downloads and momentarily shows the video cover.

No problem here with either website - One Drive and my-pCloud. I was able to run them both - as far as when Keith Oberman appeared reading the book. I shut both down at that point - I hate that pompous clown - was OK as a sports announcer but too bombastic for my taste as a "news" commenter. And the voice at the beginning of that video reminded me of Donald Trump; another pompous clown. LOL

Make sure that you have enabled the Flash plugin and check the status via the Lego block icon at the left end of location/address bar.

You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Yet, another media problem with firefox and not with chrome: when I go to NPR and choose to play the streema, it doesn't! The error message says I need a plugin. Downloading their plugin, wmpfirefoxplugin, doesn't help.

Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash - any chance you installed the ActiveX version (for IE)? BTW, Chrome uses their own Pepper version of Flash.
