Default Mozilla Firefox/Internet Explorer

I am unable to view ANY video, whether it be a link of Facebook or from my Centurylink homepage or in an email when using Mozilla Firefox. When I switch to Internet Explorer, I am able to view videos.

If I uninstall Mozilla Firefox and then re-install it, will I lose all my Bookmarks?

Is there a way to bring my Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks over to Internet Explorer or do I have to do each one manually? Most of my Favorites (Bookmarks) are in Mozilla Firefox as that was always my primary search engine before this video problem arose. It started shortly after I switched to Prism. Any connection?

Thanks for your input.

I have not done this but:

In IE click on the star and then click on the down arrow next to Add to Favorites and click on import/export then select on import from another browser and click Next. Select Firefox and from there I do not know what will happen but hopefully it will copy all of the Firefox favorites to a separate Bookmark in IE.

Can't you export your Firefox bookmarks in a folder onto your desktop, then when you uninstall/reinstall Firefox, import the bookmarks from your desktop. I've done this before, but way back with Netscape. Someone on here could probably do screen shots and show you how to do this.

Another thing is there might be some setting that's changed with Firefox that's causing a video problem. Have you tried googling "Firefox won't show videos" and see what you come up with?

I've had Firefox since about 2005 and I like it way more than IE. Have you gotten the latest updates from Adobe Flash. With Firefox try this link and download
