Hi Alex! It does not appear to have been fully fixed by Firefox 88 for me at least, although the conditions have changed slightly, and the remaining broken behavior is now slightly different too.
First, to update my note above: `media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures- needed` has been superseded by `media.autoplay.blocking_policy`, and setting the latter to `2` is now required to trigger the issue (as it manifests presently); with the setting at either `0` or `1` I haven't been able to reproduce any variation of the issue. Now, the video doesn't get paused anymore, but the unmuting also does not work: clicking the muted indicator just always resets it back to muted, instead of actually unmuting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874808 Title: Twitch video can not be unmuted when media.autoplay.blocking_policy=2, media.autoplay.default=1 Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With `media.autoplay.blocking_policy` set to 2 and `media.autoplay.default` set to 1 (block audio, which is the default), a Twitch video can not be unmuted. == Steps to reproduce == 1. Open about:config 2. Search for autoplay in the settings 3. Set media.autoplay.default to 1 ("Block Audio", which is the default) 4. Set media.autoplay.blocking_policy to 2 5. Open a Twitch VOD, for instance https://www.twitch.tv/videos/280106033 6. Try to unmute the video (either by clicking Twitch player's speaker control button, or by dragging the accompanying volume slider) == What I expect to happen == For the audio to be unmuted. == What happens instead == The audio remains muted, and the volume control/indicator remains in the muted position. == Other info == This is present in Firefox 88.
