Suddenly Videos Viewed on Internet Explorer Show As Black Box Only

SeaBreeze, you get drop downs in FireFox, the main address
bar has a drop-down that shows all of the recent places that
you visited, that is always there.

There is also a search facility with another drop-down menu
if you want to use it, you can search the net or your own
computer with it.

I attach a picture about the search place.

This is how my Browser looks...It has just about everything that I need at the click of the mouse..I also have it set to when I exit the browser, all my history is deleted. I have Ad Block and Ghostry plug ins installed. I have Bing Search as my choice of Search Engine.
Youtube and other websites are stored in "Bookmarks drop down menu"

Perhaps the best, and safest place to download Software is CNET. Here is their "Browser" download page.

Yikes no no no,CNET is the worse place to download anything,unless you are careful and use all the opt out options when installing from there...Google "Is CNET safe" for more proof>>>the best place to download anything is https://ninite.com/ all you get is the install EXE and NOTHING else,no Babylon Toolbar or trial programs attached or any other rubbish...please don`t use CNET .Com!!
 

Thanks again to everyone for your advice! :thanks: I just downloaded Firefox from their own website https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/, and so far am very happy with it. I don't have the problem with viewing videos like I did with the IE11. Also, I was able to load my Norton Safe Search toolbar there, Edge browser would not allow that. I also have the bookmarks dropdown menu like Ken was good enough to show me in his screenshot, and I love having that so visible like in IE. :happy:
 
Well I have the black boxes too but have no clue what you are all talking about..Edge.Firefox??? Totally beyond me. I use Google to look on the net and I have Norton for protection..so how do I get past the black boxes please. Please bear in mind I am useless on a computer .
 
Edge,Internet Explorer,Chrome,Firefox are Web Browsers what you use to access the Internet this site included...GOOGLE is a search engine used by those browsers if wish...to know what browser you use when on this site for instance,at the top click Help/About......will tell you......can post back and tell us if wish...or can go to the link provided and download Firefox Browser,and once installed use it to access the Net,can always use your present broser if don`t like it...good luck

Enjoy....It may take a little to get used to it..
 
Update: Logged on with IE11 today and I can view the videos just fine again, so I figure it was some kind of a glitch with Internet Explorer. I'm still going to continue using Firefox though, IE did have some other issues too.
 
The videos seem to be working again for me with IE11. Don't know when it started because I've been using Edge lately. Anyone else?

(I know, I should change browsers, and I will, eventually, but I'm downloading some stuff right now that I want to take care of first.)

Oops. Sorry I didn't see your post SeaBreeze. It took me a long time just to find this old thread. Ha!
 
I noticed the change with IE when I posted the above post on Feb. 8th. Don't know what the problem was before that, but it's gone.
