Hello, On Firefox for Android on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 whenever i try to stream a video on any site besides youtube (e.g.:Vimeo, Dailymotion, twitch) only audio plays on a black screen.

I used to stock android browser and chrome and on these browsers the video stream normally. Its really only on firefox that i have this problem.

I really prefer firefox over the others (especially coz of adblock) so help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I also encounter this issue. The workaround is to refresh the page then cancel it to stop the video from loading, then, reload it for the second time. I think that this issue is coming from the OpenH264 addon.
