This shouldn't be the cause, because Peter is able to play other video+audio with Firefox. Clearly this is some interaction with Facebook's pages. I'm not the best person to advise about this problem because I don't use Facebook at all. I had to borrow another machine to try it out. All I can think is to play with the Autoplay settings we discussed already and see if unblocking the Facebook website helps.
