Reddit Gfycat Previews do not Load/Play in Tor Browser
Summary
Gfycat previews/embeds do not play when using the Tor browser. The gifs/videos play without issue when played directly on Gfycat's website, but fails to load when viewed in an embedded widget, such as here.
The issue appears to be caused by the network.cookie.cookieBehavior
setting in about:config
. When set to 0 or 5, the video will play without issue.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Tor browser in Standard mode.
- Open this link and note how the video doesn't play.
- Open the direct link and note how the video now plays.
