Description

I see old posts about firefox being an issue. Is it still? I can play on all browsers but not firefox. I do see that the videojs.com web site plays video's just fine in the same firefox browser, however.

What do I need to do to make it work for me?

I'm using just a standard embed with a <video tag.

What browser(s) including version(s) does this occur with?

This page isn't using Video.js. Firefox used to have limited codec support, now it uses the OS's support for h264. There might still be codecs missing on some Linux boxes and less common Windows setup, but generally ok now. Looking now the videos do play, so perhaps a local machine issue.
