1453146 2018-08-29 01:25:00 I have a new "set-up" using Win 10, Firefox and went to Gmail to get rid of the excessive spam. An email contact has been sending me MP4 video clips, which I cannot view without downloading the same seperately, i.e. it won't play them directly but gives an error report directing me to a number of apps. Is there a simple solution to this..? bazmeister (3216)
1453147 2018-08-29 02:18:00 The problem is often the new Gmail format.

Try this -- Log into your Gmail - top right click on the cog (settings) Select Go back to Classic, once the page reloads try again.

Just did a test and on the new layout it didn't want to know about it, changed back to classic and the video opens and plays fine.
