When I try to view videos on facebook feed it opens a new tab and starts streaming, there is no video only audio. I can mute and seek, that is all. Most occasions it will crash while playing or crash after I close the video tab, even as far as 10 15 seconds aftet closing tab it will crash. I have cleared cache, cleared priv data, reinstalled and problem persists. Chrome plays videos no problem, same with dolphin. Other videos work no problem, so far just fb. Android, cm 11 m9, s4 jflte i337m

Google stopped supporting flash, so install Adobe flash manually

… really… that doesnt solve the issue, when I check console there are numerous errors pertaining to CORS and a few other errors, it says to put resources in same domain or enable CORS, all otjer browsets have no problems playing videos, this is a forefox issue not flash or google.

Same problem, I cant copy the errors either, is there a log file I can see besides using error console add on?

Try that link, I uninstalled ff, flash, cleated all things I could find assoc with them, reinstalled, now when play video I can see the 'vice' logo in upper right hand corner of video but no actual video. Wonderful audio though. Console was throwing errors about chrome. manifest not reafable, fb cdn video server doesnt support rfc 5746, and a few others.

This isnt a problem with flash or facebook, ff crashes everytime I attempt to play an embedded video on fb, only fb so far, videos work fine everywhere else. Extremly annoying and for the life of me I cant file an actual bug report it just keeps bringing me to these useless q and a section. Good job on the support. ....
