Ubuntu – Playing Videos in Firefox

firefoxflashhtml5video

I use Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox 60.0 (linux beginner!)

I just installed the flash player, but the only videos that are displayed in my browser are the ones on youtube.
facebook and any other streaming-services can not play videos.

do i need to install/enable html5 somehow?

If those streaming services use DRM, you must enable DRM in Firefox's settings: Preferences -> General -> Play DRM-controlled content You might also have to install package libavcodec-extra to get the codecs:

sudo apt install libavcodec-extra
