Why can't I view any mp4 files on my google drive using my firefox browser?
I've tried viewing the same files on Chrome and Safari, and both have worked. They used to work fine on firefox as well until recently and I can't seem to figure out what changed to make it so. Thank you so much for the help

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What are the exact error message(s) ?
Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows an highlighted shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more details and possibly disable the protection
