I am currently fresh on Fedora 38 and Firefox 115 with multimedia codecs installed such as ffmpeg. I have problems playing videos on Facebook or Twitch, like in myday stories, reels, and feed. But in YouTube, videos plays perfectly so I think there is a bug going on here? I already tested turning hardware acceleration on and off but no avail.

If you already have ffmpeg installed from RPM Fusion repo, maybe you are using the flatpak version and require: flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264

Now that you've mentioned it, Firefox was installed from flatpak. So reinstalling it from RPM all of my worries work. Thanks!
