When I try to play video embedded in many websites, I just get a spinning wheel, and no videos will play. I've cleared my cache, and followed numerous other tips that I found when searching on this problem, but nothing has helped thus far. Any additional advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

cor-el; Make sure you have the latest Widevine version. You can toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.

You can possibly check the XHR requests in the Browser Console if this doesn't work.
