Description

Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Upon visiting varying websites, the results are the same everytime. I am unable to view any flash or video files. Sites such as www.chucknorris.com which have a flash menu tree I am unable to see and other sites such as www.ebaumsworld.com with video links, upon going to the video section and selecting a video to view, I am unable to see or hear anything on the redirected site.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Direct to a site with either video or flash files
3. Flash or video files are not displayed.

Actual Results:  
First prompted to install the latest plugin of Macromedia, upon a successful installation, I restart firefox and redirect to the page and I still cannot get any flash files or video files to load.

Expected Results:  
Should load video or flash files and be able to see the content.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Video_or_audio_doesn%27t_play
Try also if it works in Firefox's safe-mode:
