ABP interferes with Firefox settings

Post by Portnawak »

Hello!

I have a strange problem lately (I'm currently using Firefox 71.0 but it was the same with the previous version).
On 20minutes.fr website (this page for instance https://www.20minutes.fr/monde/2667715- ... 3h_1865851 ), with Firefox settings set on Block Audio and Video, when ABP is working the video still starts automatically. But when ABP is stopped the video doesn't start and stays on loading.

I already asked on a Firefox board so with their advices I checked that Firefox setting really is on Block Audio and Video for this website, and that Enhanced Tracking Protection is on. The problem comes from ABP interfering with the settings, but only on this website as videos are really blocked on cnn.com or huffingtonpost.fr.

Does anybody has a clue where the trouble comes from?

I have the same problem with several pages on washingtonpost.com, but I don't have any better idea what is causing it.
