I am sorry to ask this here but am wondering why the last couple of times I have installed Fedora 32 workstation, video playback in Firefox is not working out of the box for some sites. So I can play videos on youtube, but for example, trying to play a video in cnn.com ("something went wrong during native playback") does not work, or playing some video from Twitter("media could not be played") does not work either.
Am I missing the Flash Player? What am I missing here?
I think this will be a permissions problem. Firefox has been locking their browser down more and more. That is great for privacy and system security, but can create problems with content, if a site is using a third party's content and player.
Another thing that can cause this is add-ons. Try creating a new user, and see if that user has problems. /usr/bin/firefox --new-instance --ProfileManager will allow you to create test users with their own pristine profile.
For any real help, you would have to give a sample link or two where this occurs.
