Facebook Videos Records Live Will Not Play in Firefox on MacBook

Firefox Webkompatibiliteit

For the past few weeks, I have been having problems playing certain Facebook videos. It seems to only happen when I try to play a video that was recorded live. I have tried clearing the cache, I've tried a private window, and I've tried safe mode. I still can't get the video to play. However, when I copy and paste the url to Safari, it works fine. I have been able to play "live" videos while they are actually "live"; it's just that they will not load when I try to play them later. I don't have any problems playing videos which have been uploaded to Facebook; only those which were recorded live. The videos just show a circle in the middle as if they are trying to load but nothing else happens. The length of the video does not matter; it happens with short videos as well as long ones. The screenshot image (of a random "live" video I found) I am uploading shows a partial black circle in the center, which is a spinning circle in realtime. I have circled it in red.

Have you tried on another device and more specifically a Mac etc.

I do not have another computer to try it on. However, I did try using Safari browser and didn't have any issue with the videos. I have also noticed that's it's not ALL live-recorded videos; it doesn't happen ALL the time, but it does happen quite often. Then it seems no "live" recorded videos will play, but others (uploaded videos, not "lives" recorded directly to Facebook) will still work.
