Videos won't play

Hi, I saw the post and answer about starting Firefox in Safe Mode in order to get a video to play when it gives an error message about the privacy settings.

This works but I would like to find a solution that doesn't require me to start in safe mode. I recently updated to the new version of Firefox that stops some cookie tracking and I suspect this is why the videos stopped working on a site I use often.

Is there something I can change in settings to allow videos to play on sites where it gives me a privacy/security error message?

Thank you!
