Firefox: stream doesn't play video unless Autoplay is enabled. about livetl HOT 8 CLOSED

This is a known issue with youtube itself. The same thing has been happening for me on Edge (Chromium), and I've seen people without LiveTL complaining about it in fan discords

from livetl.

For me this issue is only in LiveTL. Playing in regular youtube does not have this issue. If it can't be fixed maybe it is a good idea to add to the FAQ?

This is a browser security feature, I doubt we can do anything about it.

I understand, but it is not supposed to break playback at all even when manually pressing play.

This is an issue that Firefox has with youtube's embedded player, so YouTube.com is not effected. There isn't much we can do outside of adding something to the FAQ

just extra context: I had the same issue in our current Android app too

Same issue today on the Android App.
