Chosen solution

You may only be seeing the window where Firefox should place the video, but the overlay isn't working for some reason.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
