Hi, none of the videos appear/play on this CNN site that is all about videos. Only still shots appear. The videos play in Chrome. Here is the site: https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/23/world/videos-of-the-week-mobile-april-23/index.html

I've already tried toggling the "Enhanced Protection" switch off and on to no effect. I don't see any option for enabling/disabling permissions for audio/video in the address bar as appear on other sites offering video or audio. Thanks for any remedies.

Can you show us what you are seeing?

Since my last post, the page now shows the additional granted permissions (and I've allowed playing audio and video) but only still shots of the video are appearing.

Videos not playing on the CNN site. Well, it's not a bug, it's a feature

I have exactly the same problem as the OP. CNN video play fine on Chrome, but on Firefox, it's as if Firefox is not seeing the "player", i.e. just a still image with no player controls. Also, the video should have a bunch of thumbnail videos under teh current (playing) one, but Firefox shows none?
