I think this will be a permissions problem. Firefox has been locking
their browser down more and more. That is great for privacy and system
security, but can create problems with content, if a site is using
a third party's content and player.
Another thing that can cause this is add-ons. Try creating a new user,
and see if that user has problems.
/usr/bin/firefox --new-instance --ProfileManager
will allow you to create test users with their own pristine profile.
For any real help, you would have to give a sample link or two where
this occurs.
