Well -- if I'm reading you correctly, it sounds like you're seeing *consistent results* (both good and bad) between Firefox 132.0.2 and Chrome.  If so: that's good, from our perspective, in terms of interoperability and browser-bugs. Any issues that you hit in both Firefox and Chrome here (e.g. buttons that you'd like to see) are likely to be site bugs.  (In this case, it looks like the site is providing its own media controls, and they appear to have specifically set up their site to **only* show them when you *hover the video with a mouse* -- which of course can't happen on Android.  So they never end up showing the media controls.)

That's because the `about:config` pref in question here is turned off in Nightly builds (because it looks like it's something we're trying to turn off in all builds, per bug 1911651).

If you visit `about:config` in Nightly and type `hls` into the searchbar, and toggle `media.hls.enabled` to `true`, then you should see this start working.  (It does for me, at least.)
