How do I get the video to play at the size the website intended?
When playing video from a website I frequent, the size of the video is a lot smaller than what the website intended. You can see the black window where the video size is supposed to fill. I have tried just about everything to fix it. I don`t know what it could be. But, I think it has to do with the settings on my Windows 10 computer, because I do not have the video problem from the same website on my Vista PC. I have a nvidia 980ti graphics card and a 4k monitor capable of 3840x 2160 resolution.
Well, I tried to upload a screen shot of the problem, but it just sits there and buffers.

What type of player is it? Flash, HTML5 . . . . . . Right-click on the player.
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics 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)

The player is Shockwave Flash 22.0. Updates are current. My graphics card has the latest driver. I disabled hardware acceleration and disabled protected mode. Issue is still not fixed. In the screen shot, the video is supposed to fill all the black area. It has to be a Firefox setting on my Windows 10 PC because the video size is fine when I watch it on my Windows Vista PC.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?

Hello FredMcD;
Sorry I did`nt get a chance to reply sooner. The problem is still there. In safe mode the video is worse. It is even smaller and video is broken in pieces. If it helps, I do not have this problem using the IE browser on this computer. Also I do not have this problem using Firefox on my PC with Vista OS. Here are the system details.
