I have a website where I've loaded copies of videos I've purchase for my private viewing. I have dozens of these pages with videos that work just fine.

However, I have one video page that will not play the video in Mozilla - plays in Chrome and the tech rep at Hostgator could play it.

Any ideas why my Mozilla won't play it?

The FLV file resides on an Amazon S3 server as do all the rest.

Flash was up to date as is Mozilla. I didn't have the Youtube html5 (I grabbed it) but this isn't a YT video - its FLV on a simple html page. It is also one of 30+ such videos - this is the only one that won't play on this machine.

The video runs on my Laptop.

You can't play FLV files directly in Firefox. You can play MP4 files provided that a compatible codec is used for video and audio.

I have dozens of html pages that play FLV videos off my Amazon S3 account - they work just fine.

This is the only one of ALL those videos that doesn't work. The player loads with a black screen and the video doesn't play.
