I was able to duplicate the problem in Seamonkey v. 2.38 on Slackware --Current. I have User Agent Switcher and changed the user agent to the default and to IE (it was set to Slackware), still with no luck.
I am normally able to play embedded videos on this combination. I also could not play the CNN videos on Firefox v. 41 on this same computer.

Hi all,
I'm also having this problem on some sites. My browser is FF 41.02 running on Debian 8.2 with relevant extensions installed. The problem seems to be HTML 5 related. The latest version of Flash is also installed which I would have thought the browser would default to if HTML 5 doesn't work. When videos do play the actions of Play and Pause are reversed. All very strange behaviour.
I have searched extensively, without any luck, for a solution. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kb.
