Every so often, Firefox fails to display a video. In this example, Firefox briefly displays what appears to be the first frame, then displays the message "The Media Could Not Be Played". I've tried with Troubleshoot Mode, and clearing history (cache, cookies, site settings, offline website data). How can I find out what's blocking? The example is a Twitter post on Wed 08/17/2022. I hope it is still there. https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449

Screenshot is below. Is there a way to upload a screen-capture video, to show the repeated brief displays before settling on the error message?

Does the following show anything?:

Troubleshoot mode Go to https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449 Browser console 

 Error, once:  Could not record event: TypeError: queryContext is undefined UrlbarController.jsm:813
   record resource:///modules/UrlbarController.jsm:813

   _initPasteAndGo resource:///modules/UrlbarInput.jsm:2693
 Warning, many: Content Security Policy: Ignoring “'unsafe-inline'” within script-src or style-src: nonce-source or hash-source specified
 Clicking Reload briefly shows what appears to be the initial frame, and produces the Warning with differing repeat counts

Firefox chokes on the video on Twitter, but displays it at https://medium.com/politically-speaking/new-ads-that-might-make-your-crazy-maga-friend-vote-democrat-7bb437937c24

None. No third party. Windows Defender is turned off, and refuses to start. Windows Firewall is On.

A modification of the video appears later in the page. Those work. (Those posts are from "HeadlinerClip Caption". They are difficult to find. They are much later in the page.) Here's the link again: https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449

Edge works (104.0.1293.54 (Official build) (64-bit)) Brave works (1.42.97 Chromium: 104.0.5112.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)), with "Brave Shields" on Chrome works (104.0.5112.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)), with and without Adblock Plus. Vivaldi showed a spinner (5.4.2753.37 (Stable channel) (32-bit) ), with and without Adblock Plus.
