Good day
I have tried using some of the fixes from the forum, but nothing seems to work. When I try and view a video in Firefox on YouTube or other sites, right clicking the video gives me a "movie not loaded..." error and the video does not load.
Examples include videos from You Tube and Digg video.
My Specs
- Firefox version 28.0
- Flash version 13.0.0.182
- OS Windows 7
Particularities
- When I change the YouTube link to https, then the You Tube video works (still does not work on Digg)
- The videos seem to work using Internet Explorer
- When I disable Flash addon from Firefox, then the video works
What I have Done
- I have reinstalled Firefox
- I have done a complete uninstall and done a clean install of Fash per the instructions from Adobe site
- I have cleared the Flash cache/files
- I have cleared Firefox cache
- I have changed the Flash settings increasing memory size by right clicking
- I have restarted Firefox in safe mode
None of these solutions have worked for me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

- I cannot get YouTube to load as an unsecured URL (http vs https) anymore. That's a YouTube parameter.
- Internet Explorer uses a different and separate plug-in than Firefox. One is ActiveX (Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)), the other is not (Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)).
- YouTube uses HTML5 for all of their videos no, so disabling Flash forces the page to switch to it. HTML5 requires no plug-in. Only a browser newer than October 2010.
What I have Done
- I have reinstalled Firefox
- Uninstalling Firefox will leave behind your profile (unless you manually remove it) and all of the plug-in settings. When you reinstall, it simply begins using them again. Better to "Reset" Firefox.
The other steps are all correct, but you may have a firewall or antivirus setting that's blocking certain URLs.
You may need to hard cycle your modem and/or router, too.

Ok...well what I did was to log into windows in safe mode with networking mode, then restart the computer again and everything is fine now.
Only god knows what it is that resolved the issue.
thx.
