Ubuntu 18.10, Firefox 66.03

Videos in the browser (youtube, twitter, reddit) load, and then pause. I can see any moment of the video as a still, but I can not play the video.

Does anyone know a fix for this? I have tried installing flash, installing ubuntu restricted extras, gstreamer, and so far the behavior persists.

edit: hardware... also disabling hardware accelleration in firefox does not solve anything. Currious why Virtualbox is reporting as VmWare.

I have recently installed ubuntu on my laptop (wubi method) and I'm very pleased. All and all it does everything that I need, but recently I heard about corebird - a twitter client that looks spot on. I have been searching but I couldn't find how to install it on ubuntu 14.04. Can you help me doing so?

I have tried other twitter clients like hotot, turpial and birdie, but I don't like them that much.

Thanks in advance, cheers!

EDIT I have finally installed valac. However, there is another problem with gtk+-3.12.0. After typing ./configure, I get:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.39.5 atk >= 2.7.5 pango >= 1.32.4 cairo >= 1.12.0 cairo-gobject >= 1.12.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.27.1) were not met:

No package 'pango' found No package 'cairo' found No package 'cairo-gobject' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
