This.
Ok. I will try this. But the thing is, this is happening on a default
Fedora, Firefox installation. This should be happening to any new
user who installs Fedora Workstation 32, as far as I can see.
No need to try it, you will have no add-ons installed.
The issue is occurring with a variety of sites. I do believe it
happens when the player is native (I think that means it is the
site's player). In these links you can see a couple of examples of
sites and errors I am getting.

example, the included Twitter posts (pictures) are not being shown. )

So I suspect it is some kind of security issue with playing or even
displaying media content on websites.
I would agree. The links you gave indicate the problem, but they
aren't clickable, so someone can't just try them, they have to type the
URL from the photo.
I don't have a twitter account, so I won't be able to check that one
with my firefox. But, I was able to play the rt video in firefox after
I allowed javascript on some third party sites, one of which seemed to
be a media player (I use noscript, so I see the sites that have
javascript blocked).
I wonder if the stock firefox in fedora is preventing third party
javascript by default?
If you don't get satisfaction here, you could also try asking at
mozilla.org, the developers of firefox.
