You could try another browser. This is similar to Google
Chrome. Chrome has the closed source Google side, as
well as the "Chromium" open-source version. The people
in this case, take Chromium and modify it a tiny bit.
As the article explains, to not a great effect. It's not
really materially better. It just presets some things.

Do you know if viewing videos from Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook is
possable with 'SRWare Iron'on Windows XP?
Sadly, Chrome is the only browser I'm aware of that does (on Windows
XP). FF and Chromium do not.

On twitter.com/AP right now, there is a video of Queen Elizabeth
paying a visit to a bombing victim. The video auto-played.
So yes, I was able to view a video on the first page.

When it comes to commercial sites, the "wrapper" around the
video makes all the difference.

But in terms of supporting basic capabilities, it's the
best browser I've got for video. When stuff won't play on the
others, that's the *only* time I run Iron. Iron is only for
"tough video problems". It's not my everyday surf machine.
