Firefox 86.0.1 will not play Fox News Videos

Hello, It seems that since Firefox updated to 86.0.1 64bit I can not longer play videos on FOX News. I do have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger and I have used them for years. By trial and error of disabling each of my addons one by one to see which one could be the culprit I found that by turning off uBlock I am able to play Fox News videos. I kept Privacy Badger turned on and it blocks the advertisements and trackers and I can view Fox News videos with that. I would also like to add that I have not changed any settings in my Options. bold text Now I have noticed the same problem with Edge Chromium in viewing Fox News videos and I had to turn off uBlock and turn on Privacy Badger for that browser in order to see them on Edge. I have always used Firefox for years as my default browser. Does anyone else have this problem or do you have any info on whether Fox News has done something with there site to where you can no longer use Adblockers like UBlock. I have no problems with viewing videos on any other website i.e. YouTube. Thank you for your time in reading this and for any info.

Regards

Load the web page. After the page is loaded, click the AdBlock icon. Now select Disable on <website>. After, reload the page.

I have already done that with uBlock Origin which is what I am using and not AdBlock but that does not answer my question as to why all of a sudden after using uBlock for several years that after the new Firefox update I can no longer view videos on Fox News as to where before I could. Thanks for your help anyway.
