Thanks for the report.
I'm able to reproduce the issue but it similar behavior in chrome as well
Tested on: Firefox Mobile Nightly 61.0a1 (2018-04-07) Chrome for Mobile 65.0.3325.109 Moto G2 Android 6.0
Indeed, Nightly 61 opens a Video Playback overlay (which doesn't work), while Chrome doesn't.
The Console displays a media-related error:
I couldn't identify the overlay, within the Inspector.
And fwiw the report was made with a desktop view, not the mobile view.
This is working in Safari. It starts with an Ad.
<iframe style="height:1px !important;left:0px;min-height:100%;min-width:100%;position:absolute;top:0px;width:1px !important;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" title="Video Player"></iframe>
which contains:

There's a dependency on m3u8. https://dp8hsntg6do36.cloudfront.net/5ac394ce841c4b606e000015/bd024f95-6c3e-4222-a815-666fd89bc872manifest-ios.m3u8?videoIndex=0&requester=oo
If I enter directly the video link in Firefox this is working.
So there is something to explore indeed.
This is working for me in Nightly, the ad plays, then the clip with the filmmakers plays.
