Firefox unable to load videos

So I've noticed that after putting my computer to sleep, upon return Firefox will be unable to load any videos from seemingly any site. The temporary solution to this is to reset my computer as sign offs, locks or returning to sleep do not clear the issue. I've tested on different browsers/sites and can confirm that this is exclusive to firefox. I have booted firefox in troubleshoot mode, cleared my history and given the sites time to load with no luck on any of them.

Is there a solution to this?

Others have reported the issue. The solution may be to quit Firefox before making the computer sleep.

This is just unreasonable now. I'm gonna switch back to chrome until they fix this I guess.

Are there any errors in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) when you resume a video after sleep?

Does it still happen in a new profile without signing into sync? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

I have tried Developer edition and sign out of my profile with no noticeable improvement. I have also tried troubleshoot mode which has also not made any improvements.

What security software are you running? Home or pro version of windows? If pro, try this and see if you have the same issue. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/
