I used Firefox. I don't know what player it uses. This website must be using Flash as I get a message from Firefox to "allow now". When I go to Vimeo directy it seems to play OK. Firefox doesn't like Flash.
I believe you probably have the Flash Plugin for Firefox on the safety setting. Recently lots of viruses have been distributed through Flash content. So much so that web developers are supposedly abandoning it. Anyway, when on the safety setting, and a Flash video comes along, you will get a popup that asks if you want to "Allow Now". If you click that, then you'll get the questions, "Now only?" or "Always for this site"... or something like that. For this site, Muvipix, I have the "Always for this site" selected. On other sites, I don't allow Flash to play at all and as soon as I changed it was wonderful to have web pages open without being bogged down by downloading and auto playing video files I didn't particularly want to see anyway. Ads about cereal, razors, renting cars, etc.
To check it out, on the top right corner of your Firefox web page, you will see three horizontal bars, one above the other, in the lineup with a star, the downloads arrow, the House symbol, etc. Click the bars (MENU) icon and then click Add-ons, then Plug-Ins. I have almost everything set at "Ask to Activate". That way I can choose every time instead of having my system wide open.
Java is another to watch out for in terms of vulnerability. Good idea, if you use it, to update every time they have an update as the older versions can be dangerous.
