Amazon Prime Video website don't work in new Fierefox Release
Hello, I installed the Firefox 158.8 update on my iMac (macOS Sequoia 15.8.1) today. All websites are working as usual, except for Amazon Prime Video; it loads once and then freezes. I can't perform any actions on the page—everything remains unresponsive. I can't enter a different URL in the address bar or reload the page, either. The only thing I can do is close the page. I’ve cleared the cache and disabled ad blockers, but nothing changes. Strangely, this doesn't happen with Firefox on my MacBook. What could the problem be?

There was recently some change over at Amazon Prime and the fix for it is currently shipping only via "Remote Improvements" before a patch lands in one of the next releases — so check you haven't opted out of the remote features, studies and improvements, to get enrolled into the preference delivery.
Hello, and thanks for the reply. Assuming I found the right toggle, it unfortunately didn't make a difference; the problem persists. I could buy products on Amazon, but the site hangs specifically on the video page. Even the "Watchlist" page freezes if I don't click on a movie quickly enough. The loading spinner just keeps spinning, and I can't do anything else on the page. I can't even go back in my browsing history. If I open a new tab and return to the Amazon site, the screen inside the Amazon frame is gray. The only thing I can do is close the tab. If I open Safari—which I don't normally use—the site works fine.

If you go to Help › More troubleshooting info and look for "Remote Features" section — does it list something like "Software H264 decode pref flip" in there?
