Firefox doesn't play videos on time.com
Only the audio plays but the picture is blank. Chrome plays them OK.
I've tried disabling the hardware acceleration but it doesn't make any difference. Disabling the adblocker doesn't make any difference either. All my graphic drivers are up to date, as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Chosen solution
No problem for me with the 'native' ones either .....
Let's give this a try:
Type about:config in the address bar
(promise to be careful)
Type async and wait while the list is filtered
Search for the preference named:
dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing
double-click it and set it's value to 'false'

Hi !
Just tried that site: no problems there for me.
Do you have an updated version of Adobe Flash Player installed ?
If that's not the cause of the problem:
Would you consider installing VLC Media Player plugin ?

If neither Flash nor VLC do the trick; we will have to keep looking ........
Hi, thanks for the suggestions.
My Flash version is the latest (23,0,0,205) as is the VLC version (2.2.4).
Also, trying Firefox in the Safe Mode, doesn't seem to make any difference.
Would you take a deep breath and take a look at this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues
None of problems described in that link apply to me. I have no problem with other websites which play videos, just time.com
Also, I would like to point out that time.com has two kinds of videos: those linked to Youtube and "native" ones. Those of Youtube play just fine, and it's the native ones which give me problems. Are you sure you can play those too?

Amazingly, that seems to work. It would have never occurred to me in a million years. Thanks a lot!
