Firefox misses capabilty that Chrome has. Am I wrong?
Thanks for taking a moment to read. I use the Wix website builder. They have this newer feature that your background can be a full screen video. Nice effects. Now Chrome will show this video moving but Firefox shows it static. Even Wix logon which has a video playing is static on my Firefox browser. What can be the solution if one at all? See if your Firefox will show the girl walking in the trees as a video. No? Is supposed to show her walking down the hill. Thanks and kind regards for taking notice of my post. Jack ":-Dx
[UPDATE:] I notice that Firefox on the Windows 10 pc is displaying the background moving. It's only on the XP that the Chrome does show a moving background and Firefox does not. This has to be video card differences (?) What do you think? Possibly Chrome has that capability on XP and Firefox does not. Since XP is increasingly going out no worries. I have updated for my XP's until 2019 so I will use them until then for various lightweight purposes. Thanks. Solved I suppose.

hi Jack, i think that the issue here is that you are using windows xp which doesn't ship with the codecs necessary to decode h.264 videos.Read this answer in context 👍 0Thanks Philipp! Appreciate the input. I'll read it thoroughly again as it sometimes takes 2 or 3 times for me. :) Appreciate the input. I suspect since there are very few out there using XP that most pc's are seeing the moving background regardless. Wix acknowledges the moving background feature does not show on phones. But will on tablets and of course pc's. Again many thanks. I'll look for solved or kudos or something! ":-Dx Cheers!

hi Jack, i think that the issue here is that you are using windows xp which doesn't ship with the codecs necessary to decode h.264 videos. firefox would depend on the system's capabilities to decode and playback such a video since it cannot distribute unfree codecs...
this might change with firefox 46, where firefox makes use of adobe's drm module to playback such content on xp & vista (on newer windows system's this already works by default): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/46.0/releasenotes/
