I have been using Firefox for years but recently when I tried to watch some videos on Facebook that my friend had uploaded, I was unsuccessful.Can someone help?
Whenever I would try to watch a video posted by someone on Facebook, nothing would happen when I pressed the 'play' button. With Internet Explorer, however, the video would play normally.

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