Hi, I can't play some videos. I can see them on Youtube, Facebook, etc but some pages don't show me the video player. I started Firefox in Safe Mode but it didn't solve the problem, tried to reset Firefox but I have the same issue.

Firefox is updated and I run Windows 8.1

This is a page, among others, can't display the video http://video.gazzetta.it/pugile-picchia-arbitro-che-ha-contato/7c820548-5942-11e4-a3b7-163cd61a7ff3

Thanks in advance and cheers from Italy

Thank you cor-el! It was a cookie problem. I deleted the cookies for that site and now it works great.

Thanks for your help!
