Facebook videos not playing
A month or so ago Facebook videos stopped playing. Any youtube video plays fine in facebook. I have -updated FF, Flash, Java -Add-ons disabled / Safe Mode for PC as well -just reset my firefox settings -turn off hardware accel for either flash or java I forget -PC is up to date -cleared cache / cookies I dont remember what else I have done.
Additionally, I just installed Firefox on my sisters brand new Win8 PC. I added on add-ons or anything and facebook would not play videos in there either. Kind of getting stumped. I guess I could downgrade my nvidia drivers but I dont see that helping....
Any words of wisdom? I have just been using Chrome if there was a video I wanted to see.

No go. Its still all blacked out. No video loading.
I didnt clear the cache first. But it now works. Thank you.
But why would this be happening on a new PC? Bypass the cache every time?
