I never really had troubles viewing videos but for those of you who might have been having issues, then this blog entry about How to Fix Full Screen Flash Videos in Linux and Firefox will help you. They’ve written a guide for all of us who are/might be afflicted with this problem.
In summary, they said that you need to get libGL.so.1 and preload it before starting Firefox (or Swiftfox). Basically you will do this by writing a script to do it. You have to make the script executable or it won’t work.
I don’t have much trouble but maybe that’s because I use clive to get videos from YouTube. In any case, check it out if you need to fix watching videos in Flash format.
