I'm hesitant to ask since you've tried across multiple browsers, but have you checked your browser extensions? Might be blocked by a blocklist from ublock, adblock, etc... if you check the web console, is anything being denied when you load the page or press play? If I had to guess, it's either not getting there, or missing a codec. I don't run linux day to day on my desktop, but that's what I've seen in the past. 

I run nextdns.io instead of a pi-hole, and I've had complaints from family who were visiting that videos weren't loading. Lots of privacy centric filters block facebook aggressively (shocker). It begged the question why they were on the phone watching facebook videos when they flew across the country to spend time with us, but I digress.

For about the last month I can't get any video to work on Facebook.

I get this message, (Sorry, we're having trouble playing this video. Learn More.)

Hitting the Learn More tab brings me to another page that states "I can't view or play videos on Facebook.

Restart Browser and computer. Did that

Check internet connection. I have Cox's one-gigabyte connection.

Update browser. Running Firefox 95.1.

Let us know if you're still having issues playing video: I did twice. No response.

I have the latest version of Mint (20.3)

This also happens with the Opera browser but not the Chromium browser. I am a Firefox lover.

Does anyone else have this issue?
