Hello,

i tried reproducing this issue on the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 79.0a1 (2020-06-26) , beta 78.0 and release 77.0.1 but unfortunately I couldn't. I used Facebook for the embeded video and after sharing it I played it and it worked.

Can you test the issue while in Safe Mode. You can find helpful info here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode .

Also a fresh new profile could help. You can find more about creating a new profile here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile .

If possible, you can test this issue on the nightly build as well. Download the build from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ .

I wonder if it's related with bug1628486. Could you try to set the pref network.cookie.cookieBehavior to 4 to see if it fixes the issue?
Thank you.
