Can no longer pause video from news sites

Hi,

I am running Firefox 63.0.3, latest Windows 10 and I am unable to pause videos from news sites when they play. I have autoplay set to off in options and that sort of works. it does not stop buffering, but does stop the video from autoplaying.

However, once the video starts playing, I cannot pause it.

Regards,

Steve

What is the site? Others need to see if what your asking shows up on their side or not.

Hi,

The URL is https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/households-advised-to-run-taps-for-30-seconds-amid-lead-poisoning-fears/news-story/07a466ecba85195259ec7e3ce7259411

Interestingly, it happens with Edge but does not happen with Chrome.

Regards,

Steve

Ok,

Further testing seems to indicate it is related to a specific video or videos. Not all videos on this site exhibit this behaviour. Some do, some don't. Weird.

I went to it and the top feed did run but the others didn't start and I can pause it.
