most video in browser are still delivered over flash and some as HTML5 video.

please check output of

opera
opera://settings/content/flash

firefox
about:plugins

on ArchLinux to support flash inside the browser, the following packages must 
be installed

extra/flashplugin 32.0.0.330-1 [installed]
    Adobe Flash Player NPAPI
extra/pepper-flash 32.0.0.330-1 [installed]
    Adobe Flash Player PPAPI

also download a .mp3 and .mp4 on your laptop and try to play with Mplayer. does 
that work ?

Please share the updates.

warm regards
Saifi..
