FF v131.0.3

Just started seeing this issue when selecting a news item video in emails from Haystack News Midweek Report <founders@haystack.tv>.

Normally, selecting an item in the email message would open the subject story video in a new tab where I can 'play' the video. Now I get the new tab opened with a blank (white) screen, but noticed something strange in the URL. Here's an example: https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/https://www.haystack.tv/v/economy-grew-robust-pace-quarter.

https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/ is leading the normal URL address. If I take this part out the video loads and plays as expected.

Anyone have an idea what caused this? Thx.

Continuing issue...

I confirmed this is likely a FF only issue since the problem did not occur in DuckDuck or Edge browsers. I changed Privacy & Security setting from Strict to Standard and problem remains.

Any thoughts?

Update: Still seeing this issue on FF since the original post in October. The video URL is one of several embedded in a Haystack news email; here's a more recent example:

https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/https://www.haystack.tv/v/family-missing-dog-returns-home-ringing-doorbell The above URL loads to a blank tab screen. If I cut this part off the front 'https://notifications.haystack.tv/CL0/' it loads and starts to play. HOWEVER, 5-6 seconds into the video it starts over and plays as expected.

More info: If I 'Copy Link' the Link from the email video and paste it into a new FF tab it loads and runs, but still restarts a the 5-6 second mark.

Privacy & Security is currently set to Custom, but no difference when set to Strict or Standard.

I have not noticed this behavior with any other video URL.

Anyone have a good guess??
