Videos ONLY on Facebook not playing on Macbook Pro

Hello,

Videos ONLY on Facebook, will not play on my Macbook Pro. After updating my OS X to Maverick 10.9.4 I started having this problem. Here's is what I have done and NONE of it worked.

-I tried using Firefox, safari and Chrome. Did not work on any of them.

-My Flash is up to date

-I CAN play videos on Youtube. The problem is ONLY on facebook.

Just to see if it was something with my account and not my computer I logged into my FB on my ipad and the videos will play fine. So it is something with my Macbook Pro. I've read through all the treads here that talk about this subject and non of the solutions fit my situation.

Thank you for any help

Is it Allowed?

Safari > Preferences > Security > Allow Plug-ins > Manage Website Settings

Hi! Thanks for replying.

I went in the plug-in settings and yes the flash plugin is allowed for facebook. When I click on a video on facebook, it buffers for a second like its going to play and then it just turns to a black square. It doesn't show buttons or anything.

Like I said I was not having this problem until I downloaded maverick and it is on all the browsers I try.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. Being it is the same on Safari and Firefox, it isn't something in either's settings. I thought it could have been Flash-player, so I've deleted it, re-installed, and played with the settings and nothing has changed. Maybe someone else knows what to do???

Edit: I just found this: Flash Player update not working in Mavericks - you may have to go to a archived version of Flashplayer. I haven't tried it yet.
