> there is really no downside to Firefox
The Dutch national TV (NPO) videos do not play on Firefox for Android [1]. They do play on Chrome for Android and they do play on the Linux desktop firefox. Not sure if its some hidden setting that I need to find or something for the firefox team to look into.
Everybody and their dog want you to download "apps" - I wonder why?
Firefox on android is one of the few defence mechanisms we have.

- nologic01 3y agoIts allowed as a general setting. But digging deeper it seems that this site has somehow been placed on the exceptions list.

- bjackman 3y agoActually yeah this is something I'd forgotten about, that is indeed a downside to Firefox. I had this problem with the British Film Institute's streaming service. I emailed them about it, they replied "please try with Chrome on Windows PC" and I replied "no thanks, please send a refund, I will pirate the film instead". The other case where I ran into videos not playing was Twitter dot com. I tend not to click links into that site any more though.
