I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

To work around the problem, do the following:

   Start RealPlayer.
   Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
   Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
   Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.

Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.
