Videos won't play even in safe mode or with hardware acceleration turned off
Trying to switch from chrome to Firefox (61.0 64-bit) but it will not start/play short videos (eg gifv, html5, flash, etc.). No addons are installed; Disabling hardware acceleration has no effect; safe mode will also not play videos; and Firefox behaves the same way on 2 different computers (ubuntu & fedora and chrome works fine on both machines). any ideas?
