This is definitely an issue with something in the operating system because I tried on Firefox and Chromium to access facebook videos and I keep getting this message that says Facebook Video not available. It almost sounds like Facebook is restricting you but when I log into windows I can pull up videos fine

For me the exact error now is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content".

Here is a public facebook video that I found.
