Hi:
I have a Dell XPS running Windows 7. I prefer browsing with Firefox, and have the latest downloaded (3.6.8).
For a long time, I have been unable to watch video embedded on Facebook. Stuff that is personally uploaded by the user is fine, but embedded from elsewhere, like YouTube is a no go. For a long time, it kept telling me to update my flash player (I think), but even a successful install would not stop that error message. Then it changed (I dont know how long ago) and now if I try to watch video, it just hangs- like it's loading-- but never plays. Most recently it won't allow me to embed my own links into my status updates. It just hangs, too.
it all works fine on IE, so it must be a Firefox problem
I would REALLY appreciate some insight from anyone. any ideas would be helpful. I really do NOT want to use IE, or even have to switch to another browser.
TIA!
