User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180807170231

Steps to reproduce:

I visited this link: https://www.theonion.com/political-scientists-reassure-americans-that-stripping-1828723227

I scrolled down, and got punched with animated pain.


Actual results:

I tried to "inspect element" to try to find ways to block the animated pain, in case I want to view the Onion in the future.


Expected results:

I get an "about this video" menu, no "inspect element."

Hi,
I tested this issue on Mac OS X 10.12 with FF Nightly 63.0a1(2018-09-04) and I can't reproduce it.
Can you please provide a screen recording of this issue?
Also, it will be a good idea to try to retest this with FF Nightly 63. Please download Firefox Nightly from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/

Sorry, I tried Nightly, I wasn't able to repair my Firefox installation afterwards. Also, I can't do video.

Blocking the browser context menu is something that webpages can always do. We can't really override that. You can still use the element picker to select the video.
