Unable to change Firefox Autoplay Settings

I am unable to make changes on the Firefox Autoplay Settings. When I select “Remove All Websites” and click "Save Changes," the changes aren’t saved. Also, I am unable to add new websites in order to specify non-default settings for those particular websites. When I enter a new website name in the Search bar and press Enter, nothing happens. The entire Autoplay Settings section is locked and blocking me from making changes. What do I need to do to make such changes to these settings?

The about:welcome autoplay permissions cannot be removed but you should be able to remove all other sites.

To add an autoplay permission, you need to visit the site, press Ctrl+I > Permissions > Autoplay.

Firefox shows an auto-play permission icon on the location/address bar when you are on a webpage that play media.

Do you want to add allow or block permissions and what should be the default?
