The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I needed to shut down firefox and restart. It works now. For a moment, only tiktok and FB were working and not twitter, but refreshing the page seemed to get it going and now videos are playing properly.

Hi Lilithe, thanks for the report! Have you been able to consistently reproduce this with any Twitter / other video links that you could share? Does the stop time vary based on the length of the video? If you run into this behavior again, it could be useful to share a profile captured with the "Media" preset via the Firefox profiler. Start the profiler, reproduce the issue, then stop it and share the link here. If you could post the contents of your about:support, that would be useful as well. Thanks!

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
