Description
**Describe the bug (required)** A clear and concise description of what the bug
is.
Test player is not working on firefox (85.0.1). Upon inspection it seems that the player is failing to load certain hls videos.
I've tested loading different VODs such as https://d2zihajmogu5jn.cloudfront.net/bipbop-advanced/bipbop_16x9_variant.m3u8
and these work, but when trying to load an active livepeer stream, the player hangs.
To test different sources I just hardcoded the parameter passed to player.load() in player/index.tsx
I have tested this in different machines with firefox installed and they all fail.
I've attached a screenshot where you can see that the player is failing to fetch .ts files after loading the ms3u8 playlist.

Research direction
Start in player/index.tsx and inspect the value passed to player.load(). Reproduce with Firefox 85.0.1 using the provided VOD and active Livepeer stream URLs, then inspect network requests after the m3u8 playlist loads, especially the failing .ts files. Done means active live streams load successfully in Firefox without the player hanging.
