Whenever I click the play button on any video on any website, all that is visible is a grey box. This only occurs when I am using Firefox, but not other browsers. I am currently using android 4.4.4. Please advise and help, thanks.

I have the same problem using Fx 4.2. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1038039. There have been at least 6 posts in this forum in the last week on this issue. It appears that Flash is no longer working on Firefox.
