Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
Flash Player Version: 25.0.0.171
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only> +++++++++++++++++++ See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
Make sure to update to the latest Shockwave Flash plugin.
You can download the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
I tried updating to the latest flash, and it refused to install. removed all flash and tried again..same.....found an earlier flash, dated Jan 17 and installed that. no change in facebook failure but tried other vid sites, and flash seems to work there now,.... but not on facebook.

There is no "active x" plugin listed available for Firefox. If I use Chrome, everything works as it should. If I reboot into Linux and run Firefox, everything works as it should. Keep in mind this is Win XP,.... the last and most advanced version.
