Videos are not playing on any of the websites. Commercials play but not the actual videos. When I searched this under support it said to go to the tools option to delete plugins but i cannot find this option. I have updated the adobe flash player but that didn't make a difference.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
