Videos Not Playing Since Update Firefox Release 122.0.1
Since the new update for some reason, videos on some websites are no longer loading as they used to. The big sites like YouTube and Netflix are fine though others are giving error codes.
(Error Code: 102630) is a common one, even after going through the guides online to get it working nothing works.
The other thing I've noticed is: Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG This also comes up on some web players. Same again, nothing works trying to fix it.
Something changed during update 122.0.1 ?? Any Help or Ideas would be great. :)

In About:Config Disable: privacy.fingerprintingProtection and privacy.resistFingerprinting
This will allow videos on sites to play and remove the (Error Code: 102630) though I need to mention doing this puts people at Risk, The Canvas API, which is designed for drawing graphics via JavaScript and HTML, can also be used for online tracking via browser fingerprinting.
Does disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection for this site also work?
You can check for issues with Enhanced Tracking Protection. Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages like blocked content.
