Movie Trailers or Clips will not play on Metacritic
Movie trailers will not auto-play after the 30 second intro ad.
After the ad the video remains blank.
This problem also exists when Firefox is restarted in safe mode.
Works fine when using other browsers such as Chrome or Edge!
Please look into this!

Firefox 64.0 works now on Metacritic.

Thanks for your time and effort...much appreciated.
I couldn't get it to work after following your steps.
Here is what I did:
1. about:preferences#privacy >Tracking Protection >Never 2. about:config 3. media.autoplay.default > set to 2 4. went to metacritic.com, loaded a trailer, waited, then gave popup notification permission for autoplay.
I must be doing something wrong, since it worked for Roland Tanglao.
I'll keep using Chrome and Edge or Firefox 62.0.3 until a version of Firefox works on metacritic.
Thanks to all who helped out.
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Content Blocking is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console about what content is blocked
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

Thanks "cor-el"
But we already addressed your suggestion earlier in the discussion.
I have no extensions enabled and content blocking (Tracking Protection) is off.
