Certain video players not working in Firefox | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support
First it was the Interactive Radar Map at weather.com refusing to load
http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/Sevierville+TN+37876
All I see is a "loading" animation where the radar should appear for about a minute before being redirected to a page that says "We're sorry. The page you requested is not available. You may have used an outdated link or typed the address (URL) incorrectly. It is also possible that this page no longer exists"
That happens with every Interactive Radar Map at weather.com, not just the one for 37876
Also, I just noticed that Vimeo's video player will no longer load. Here's an example.

All I see is an image where the video player should be.

An answer that worked for me ...
A big THANK-YOU to dougcoull with his answer to the question “How come Vimeo won’t work with Firefox 4”. (Search Vimeo in FF Help).
Type "about:config" in the address bar of your browser to take you to the config settings.
Scroll down to "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll" or cut n paste the term in the Filter.
If the entry is ‘false’, double click the entry to change from 'false' to 'true.
Close FF and then re-open for the setting to take effect.
Please take the effort to inform dougcoull if it works for you too.
Only issue for me is you may then find that plugin-container.exe is now running with Vimeo eating up and hogging CPU :(
