[SOLVED] Firefox 80 does not play embedded videos
I did today my weekly system update with "pacman -Syu" and the new version of Firefox (80) no longer plays any embedded video anymore: there is only sound and a green background. Anybody has this problem with the new version of Firefox? A downgrade to the previous version (79) solved the problem.

No... but I'm no longer able to play Flash games anymore after the update to Firefox 80. This Flash-related bug is reported here:

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 80 does not play embedded videos
If anybody is interested in the solution: in the past I enabled hardware acceleration with the option "user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true);" and by deleting this line from the "prefs.js" file the embedded videos work again. Firefox versions previous to 80 worked fine with this option.
