Not all the time, but vast majority of times when attempting to view a video on Foxnews a message is displayed saying: error, video format not supported. This hasn't been an issue with other sites I visit. This has happened with all Android versions, and different brands of devices. It would seem that the issue resides with Firefox Beta.

Hi DennisOS2 , Some video formats are not supported on Android, however to find out what format it is, it may require some developer skills. On a desktop, visit the same site and right click on the video player. There should be a video file format in the loaded video. This can be a black hole as well, but to investigate these are some video examples:

I cannot say I can fix this now, however if its a particular site, try to download it locally and watch it. Also contact the web developer and tell them you want to watch the video on your device.
