Sheesh, sounds like you did all the basic troubleshooting already. Are you signing into a profile? Maybe it’s importing a setting from that
I also ran the nightly for quite a while because I needed access to about:config and they’ve been locking it down for a while now. You can’t even open a local html file on firefox mobile anymore. I don’t really understand why they’re moving backwards.
Anyway if you find a solution, I’d love to hear how you fixed it
I just tried nightly too and I’m not getting that, what file is it trying to download?
I do have a second video ad halfway down the screen that autoplays against my permissions. Installing ublock origin fixes that problem. Are you running ublock? Which video was auto playing for you? Ads really wont care what your settings are, but that’s why we block them entirely.
Nightly tries to download a file named master.m3u8 which is a Playlist for the actual video that plays.
(I’m talking about the embedded video right here in this page, not when following the link.)
And yes uBlock Origin everywhere all the time, otherwise browsing is simply a pain.
Weirdly, Firefox doesn’t autoplay if I reload the page, but if I follow a link here (like from the replies page) it does.

So, I tried Nightly and it doesn’t autoplay, but instead pops up the download file confirmation window which isn’t much better.
