The ESU folks were riding behind 611 (Saturday, I think) and posted this:

Not being a member of Facebook, I couldn't watch the video...

Not only wouldn't it play, but the "login or join" ad made it very hard to see.

I went to the page using a browser I don't use for Facebook and I could watch without logging in.  I admit the "Login or Sign up" box was a pain, but I clicked "Not Now" and it scrolled to the bottom and I could see the video play.

Sorry it didn't work for you. :(

I just tried again.  All I get when clicking on the video image is a black and white page with an animated "waiting/processing/whatever" icon in the middle.  No video ever loads.

Well, that's a bummer.  I've tried on Chrome and Firefox on my Mac and it works even without logging into Facebook.  I don't know what's stopping it on yours.

That's what I saw, too, when using Firefox.
No problem viewing the video when using Chrome.

Peteski:  That's exactly what I see, also on Firefox. 

I don't have Internet Explorer, since it mysteriously quit working right after MS ended support for XP.  Doesn't give an error message, just flashes a window, then vanishes. 

Since I hadn't used it regularly for several years anyway, I never bothered to try to fix it.  The only thing I used it for by then was to view saved "MHTML" files, and there's an add-on for Firefox for that.
