Is Firefox using the Flash player or possibly the HTML5 media player?
Do you see the Shockwave Flash plugin context menu if you right-click?
If Flash isn't used the you can try to disable the HTML5 media player by setting these prefs to false on the about:config page.
- media.directshow.enabled
- media.windows-media-foundation.enabled

I'm sorry, Internet explorer 11 also can't display videos in this page ,maybe only chromium-based browsers can .
Works well with my Firefox V.30 :) What's your Firefox Version ??
v.30, too , I tried with safe mode but still can' t play video on that site .
I also try to create new profile and still got : "error loading media:File could not be played ".
With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer enabled until you enable it.
Open the Add-ons Manager. Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Tools Then Add-ons
Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins.
BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

I checked all plugins and they all up-to-date and work normally. Just Firefox and IE 11 can't display videos at this site , not opera/chrome.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I tried unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" box already and still has problem. My graphic driver(Intel integrated card) also up-to-day .
Start Firefox in Safe Mode. {web link} While you are in safe mode, Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

As I said before, I tried safe mode ,but no use. FredMcD, can you play some videos on that website ?
The problem is like that :
@ cor-el : I set it to false :media.windows-media-foundation.enabled and it works. Thank you much . I'll try to understand it in this topic https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982753
