Details

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable ETP Strict in Fx83
  2. Load https://video.foxnews.com/v/6198810736001#sp=show-clips
  3. Click the video's play button.

Expected result

A preroll video ad should play and then the interview clip.

Actual result

The video player shows a loading spinner and no video is played.

This is interesting. I can reproduce this when changing my ip address to an US ip address, but can't reproduce it with my original ip address (Berlin).
The video can be played normally after adding c.amazon-adsystem.com to urlclassifier.trackingSkipURLs.

Blocks: tp-breakage
Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3

I can;t reproduce the issue on my side, with ETP - Strict the video plays.

Nope. The video plays for me in 88 Nightly. Thanks for testing.
