Why do videos on CNET.com play on explorer and not Firfox? The short ads play, but the videos don't.

If I go to CNET.com to watch a review video, I can only do so using Explorer. When I try to use Firefox, only the short advertizement shows, and the review never shows. On Explorer the advertizement plays also, but so does the review. Do I need an Add on? If so, which?

I didn't get a problem with it. See screenshot.

Try right clicking the video, go to Settings and then disable Hardware Acceleration (second icon from the left at the bottom).
