Using Firefox 103.0 on a Mac running Monterey. Since updating to FF 100.0 or possibly 101.0, the BBC News website's videos won't play. I've tried turniing off all privacy/security add-ons and settings but still nothing. Just a grey rectangle with the BBC logo in it (see screenshot).

Safari can play them though. Any ideas?

Okay, so egg on face. While typing the above message, FF downloaded the 103.0.2 update. Now BBC News videos are playing fine. Coincidence? Well, yes. ;0)

Thanks anyway.
