For most iterations of FF, the videos will NOT load / play on the G& M website.

This is a problem unique to this website. I can load and play videos on all other websites (YouTube, etc).

Videos will load / play using IE.

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).
