Why is Firefox doing this: Major bummer. This video can’t be played with your current setup?
Hi,
I just install Fedora Linux on my machine and updated everything including Firefox. I went to cybrary.it and tried watching a video and got this warning "Major bummer. This video can’t be played with your current setup." I understand that they video is hosted on vimeo. I tried searching around on Google results on this topic but nothing works. I went to the vimeo forums etc.
I'm running Fedora 27 Workstation with Firefox Quantum 57.0.1 64bit. I have no add-ons installed. I've tried clearing the cache. Please help.

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla from within Firefox before posting. This information is useful to diagnose issues.
Please update to 57.0.2 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version
Long shot, Did you miss a Video Card Driver Update or anything in the install. (if info was sent would have seen errors in drivers if any.)
New version of Flash Released this date : Flash Player Version: 28.0.0.126 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

One package Linux users may not install right away is FFmpeg so they can fully use the HTML5 player in browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey. A place you can use to check what you support is at https://www.youtube.com/html5/ as all checks should be blue.
The Vimeo videos are HTML5 and not using Flash Player Plugin.
