Since the update to FireFox 50.0, I have had video problems.

While YouTube runs fine, other sites do not.

On the following page, only Video TWO will play: http://www.floracopeia.com/education/pharmacy-of-flowers-essential-oil-home-study-course.html

On this page, it says "Video format or MIME type is not supported": https://www.breathingcenter.com/Breathing-Test
