As of 2 days ago, can no longer open videos but instead get message "this video no longer available". However, if I use Internet Explorer I am able to open the video. Perhaps something changed in my security settings?

I have installed Firefox 6.0.

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


You can also try to update the WMP plugin if that player is used.
