If an author sets a video to non-public this has nothing to do with your browser profile.

So it's ok when it's working on default settings on firefox?

You linked a discussion about a video, that was made private by its owner. You were suggested to ask the owner to make it public. This has nothing to do with your browser profile at all.

Please post either a deep-link to the video where I can test myself or at least the specific setting that breaks something.

There are many settings that can and will break things, that's why the generator gives a short description and allows to customize the settings instead of just providing a user.js file. For example uMatrix will require you to allow third-party scripts before videos are loading on many sites.

So "can't watch" is nothing that we can do something about as long as it's not clear what's the actual problem. The best you can do it to try to disable settings until it works again, so we know what's causing the problem.

By the way I don't know how you're formatting your urls, but in the text I get the url and the target is https://github.com/allo-/firefox-profilemaker/issues/url for some reason.

So I was viewing every link in HTML view and I found it, but the issue it's private... I could give you my login "privately" so you can check and test everything that needs to be done... what do you think?

edit: sorry if I answer too long... I'm so sorry

So you can view the video with a fresh browser profile and your login? Or does it say private in any case?

I don't want to debug with your credentials. When it can only be accessed by you, try to find out which features are causing the problem and when it seems reasonable that they will break sites we can add a notice to the switch that it may break video playback.
