FWIW, viewing above locally with plugins.click_to_play;true is WFM against Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130414 Firefox/23.0 ID:20130414031025 CSet: ef802a6418f2

Does any other Flash Content work?
IS C2P active?

Could you please try the following :

1) try this with a clean profile: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

2) running in Safe mode: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Could you also please update your Flash and GPU driver?

[hasna]

I tested with clean profile and in safe mode, the problem is still here.
I looked for flash video directly in youtube/vimeo (by copying the links), I can then play them, so I think this  means no problem with flash player (I updated it too)

for C2P, do i need to install an extra  plugin ? isn't it enbaled by default?

Comment 5

[Manuela Muntean [Away]]

No, there is no need to install an extra plugin for C2P. It isn't enabled by default, unless you have plug-ins out of date.

If you want to enable C2P, you need to type about:config in the URL bar, hit Enter, and type in the Search box plugins.click_to_play, and set it to "true", by double clicking it.

[hasna]

Thanks, I checked in the config, it's not enabled...but enabling it didn't help.

Comment 7

[hasna]

Thanks, I checked in the config, it's not enabled...but I still have the same problem with or without this parameter enabled.

Comment 8

[Georg Fritzsche [:gfritzsche]]

I can't reproduce this either on Ubuntu & OS X.

Does e.g. the video on this site work for you:
https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython
If that one works, could you please provide a full sample that breaks for you?

The most useful thing would be to find the regression range for this:
http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/
As you say it worked on 20, but is broken in the current nightlies, so i think you can get going with --good=2013-01-06 and --bad=2013-04-12.

you can use these credentials 

login: [e-mail]
pass:  Azerty123

and go to this page :
https://class.coursera.org/behavioralecon-001/class/index

I use Fedora and my Nightly is up-to date 23.0a1 (2013-04-26)

Comment 10

[hasna]

I am not sure but I supsect some timeout : the page takes more time  to load under the 20 branch

Comment 11

[Georg Fritzsche [:gfritzsche]]

You mean the intro video on the top right? 
That works fine for me on OpenSUSE with Nightly 2013-04-26 and Flash 11.2 r202.

Did you change any Flash settings?
So far i don't see what we could do here without more information, sorry.

Did you login and go to class ? the page is full of videos in the center that aren't displayed. I've attached a screenshot. I hope this will help.
Thank you

This is about Mixed Content Blocking.
Just click on the Doorhanger Icon (left of the Favicon in the URL Bar) and change "Keep Blocking" to "Disable Protection on This Page".

Done

The site needs to update its HTTP Vimeo links to be HTTPS.

These are the errors:

I just tested, and videos are working for me. (The course in Comment #9 no longer exists)

Let's close as FIXED.
