Details

Tried to watch this video on CTV news. Video does not start playing on Firefox (Nightly, browsing in private mode). IT does play in Chrome (browsing in Incognito mode). STR: Open link in Firefox (while browsing in private mode). Watch video not play. I haven't tested browsing to this site in non-private mode, so I'm not sure if this a private-browsing-mode-only problem.
URL is included in the URL field above, but it's handy to have in comments as well: http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.2910743
Do you have Flash installed in FireFox?

Nope. But I don't think I have it installed in Chrome either. I'm trying to confirm that, but not sure how to. Looking into the "content settings" on chrome doesn't seem to give me a clear indication of whether flash is enabled on it or not.

I think if you open that link in non-private browsing mode you'll see the notice that you need Flash in Firefox.

Re-open if it turns out not to be a Flash issue.
