Trouble with TV5MONDEplus.com
French expat in Asia I noticed that since the launch of this free website, Firefox 93.0 running with macOS Big Sur 11.6 is unable to connect properly with the French TV5MONDEplus website. Access to the site is entirely possible but the connection seems to stop as soon as you try to view the programs offered… This problem doesn't arise by using Chrome.

I obviously identify myself to see the programs of TV5MONDEplus . So this is not the origin of the bug. I easily navigate the site, see all the programs and videos offered, but as soon as I try to click on a movie/video to watch it, the connection seems to stop before loading the video and shows only an empty blue screen. When I click BACK the program presentation site reappears and responds normally...

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
