I have the same problem. I built ff57 and cannot play:

It plays fine with chromium.
I also cannot play any videos on cnn.com. I tried loading flash, but that
does not help. For cnn I keep getting messages about the site not being
encrypted. I suspect some addition in the page may be causing that.
FF57 plays youtube fine.
On my workstation I have ff48 and it plays both cnn and bunny OK.
On FF57 I also have the problem that I cannot select the url with my mouse.

Not sure if this is related but I had video issues with both Epiphany/Firefox*
and Totem. In my case the issue turned out to be ffmpeg-3.4. After downgrading
ffmpeg back to 3.3.4 and re-building several packages (I'm not exactly sure
what had to be rebuilt), but conservatively all the gst packages?
The issue went away. At a minimum, rebuild gst-libav.
These are the related bug reports:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6775
*I actually now cannot remember if I had the issue with one or both browsers.

Current Firefox can play video and audio without Gstreamer, instead
using FFmpeg directly. In fact, I think Gstreamer is no longer used by
Firefox even optionally. I have Firefox 57.0, FFmpeg 3.4, and no
Gstreamer packages, and I can play videos fine in FF, including MP4.
