Hello,

I am using Mozilla Firefox 86.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop, I am unable to play any kind of Video embedded on my Websites, I've also tried disabling the Hardware Acceleration in Firefox Setting, but still, the issue remains the same.

in my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS -> ffmpeg is installed, libavcodec-extra is also installed, but I am unable to understand why Mozilla Firefox is not playing the Videos in the Browser?

please help me in this case, I am frustrated with this for 2 months or more.

Kind Regards, Dhaval

Thank You for your reply, but I am unable to understand what you're trying to say by uploading the Screenshots.

I would like to share, but the Website on which currently I am referring is under Development not available on the Server, so I can't share it. and the same Video on that local server which is working perfectly fine in Google Chrome but not working in Mozilla Firefox.
