Video Playback not working in Focus after update to IOS 15.1

I recently updated to IOS 15.1. Now video playback from streaming sites doesn't work in Firefox Focus. This is not an isolated issue. It appears that other browsers aside from Safari are affected as well. So doubtless Apple has deprecated something which everyone else is using. I'm using Firefox Focus 39.0 (8631) IOS 15.1 Iphone 8 plus 128GB Same issue with Chrome. Was some issue with Safari at first but was able to disable GPU rendering of video. Then video streaming worked. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding setting in Focus. Apps like Youtube, Twitter and Instagram seem to be unaffected. However those have updated recently.
