Flash Player not playing video's embedded in websites, just white space where video should be [plug-in activated and updated]
Youtube.com works just fine,
but any other website that has embedded video's does not load or show them.
Where a video would be, now there is just a white square.
It worked fine in the previous versions of Firefox.
I have tried updating my Flash player plugin, making sure it is active and any other troubleshooting options I could.
Here is an example of a site where this problem is encountered
Thanks

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Flash videos, animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:

This is not the case as the plugin is not crashing. It fails to even load the video.
A crash would be shown as a gray box with an ! I believe?
Like I said, just a white square without even seeing any video info.
this is the message I get when I try to play videos imbedded. An unanticipated problem was encountered, check back soon and try again Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_UNKNOWN Session ID: 2018-04-01:25d830f76fb4be53affc560c Player ID: 5749203519001_5067014667001

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
