On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I get this rubbish: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.facebook.com because this web site requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.facebook.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

When I shifted over to firefox, I set the home screen to display bookmarks, and my bookmarks weren't showing (only one, not sure why this was the chosen one).
I deleted them all, and then added them sequentially, and they all appeared and all seemed to work.
Now they've all dropped off again.
I don't have 'restore previous setting' selected (as a prior answer suggests would work, described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253979). I sync my settings on my phone/surface pro/iMac.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

It is not just youtube, also some other video website. chrome always allows u to preview the video without actually click it.

Until just a few days ago, when I would visit a particular website that tracks Twitter conversation threads and displays them on a webpage, I could just click on the page and all of the images would appear. Now, those images appear for a second or two, but then disappear from the page. I've cleared cache, updated Flash, adjusted permissions as directed by Firefox Support site, but no changes. There have been no changes to my system prior to the error appearing, as far as I'm aware of.

Is it normal for Firefox to generate a popup dialog box, stating something like "Firefox requests permission to receive keystrokes from any app in the system."? At first, I thought this was to enable copy/cut/paste via the clipboard buffer. Then I thought, "I never saw this before, why now, could this be malware trying to do something bad to my system.
