Vimeo player doesn't work on Firefox

I have a problem with the playback of a Vimeo video on Firefox with this configuration:

  • LENOVO 40613WG
  • Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits
  • Mozilla Firefox 24.0
  • Flash Player 11.9.900.117
  • No extensions

I'm testing the playback on this page http://player.vimeo.com/api/examples/simple The video doesn't play, exept maybe 1 time on 10.

I have tested on 12 PC they all work. It doesn't work only with this computer.

There is a demo of the problem : http://www.screenr.com/FkYH

Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?

Browser-related causesBrowser cache that has not been cleared and browser that is old and outdated. If your browser is not updated and you have an older browser you could face problems watching Vimeo videos. 1. Vimeo needs browsers that can decode videos in a player that has HTML5 functionality.

Why videos are not playing in Firefox?

Use the menu icon in the top right, click on Help, and select Troubleshoot Mode from the sub-menu. Step 2: Select Restart to launch Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. Try streaming a video in Firefox. If it is playing alright, then it's one of the Add-ons interfering with the video playback on Firefox.

Is your root page HTTPS? We have run into issues with Firefox 24 and Mixed Content. If your page is HTTPS and the vimeo embed is HTTP then Firefox 24 (by default now) will block the HTTP Content.

FF > About:Config > security.mixed_content.block_active_content > Set to False.

I know we having this issue with screencast but since FF changed it could happen with other video embeds.
