Some flash videos (e.g., on IGN.com) won't play 12.04

Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit, Firefox 17
For some reason I can play YouTube videos fine, but on websites like IGN.com the videos never load. Everything plays fine in Chrome, but the videos used to work in Firefox and for some reason they no longer do. Any help will be much appreciated.

I have no problems with flash usually, but there was one particular elearning site that just didn't want to display it's content, whatever I tried. Ubuntu 12.10 and Firefox.
I installed agent switcher add-on from and switch to "Internet explorer 8" (in the Tools menu) - problem solved, all flash content plays OK. This particular site was asking for IE, Firefox or Chrome browser, and Adobe Flash 10 or higher.
