No video controls on "CBS This Morning"
There are no video controls when watching a video on "CBS This Morning," even when restarting Firefox with all add-ons disabled. When watching the same video in Chrome the video controls are there.
Is this a Firefox bug, or is it a new feature?
System info: macOS 10.12 Sierra; Firefox 50.0

Hi !
Could be that CBS isn't doing the required coding for Firefox.
Maybe you already tried this, but you could ask CBS why these buttons aren't showing:

I don't see the video controls either. Not with Firefox 50, nor with an older Firefox 38.7.1 ESR version I have installed. Happens with another browser based upon Firefox, too - SeaMonkey.
IMO, that is CBS doing that, because I also get an extra "mask" or border that I don't see in Vivaldi; which is very similar to Chrome and uses the same Flash Plugin that Chrome uses. I don't have Chrome installed, because I consider Google as the "empire of evil".
I haven't seen that "glitch" at any other website that uses Flash, when using Firefox or SeaMonkey. No extraneous "mask" or border and the video controls for Flash appear everywhere else, as expected.
I don't have Chrome installed either, but when I use Edge: buttons are there .......
CBS might need to change their coding for Firefox .......
I believe Edge nay use the same Flash PPAPI plugin that Chrome and Vivaldi use. Might be difference with the Flash plugin being used, but my bet is on page coding considering the "mask" or "border" that appears above the Flash inner window that I see in Firefox.
