64-bit version 31.0.0 on Windows 10
Won't play video at cbsnews.com/live. Plays the silent preview but just shows a black box afterward.
Have tried safe mode and with all add-ons disabled. If it's working for anyone else,what are you doing that I'm not or vice versa? Thanks.

I got it to work by first disabling my adblocker because they won't allow you to do anything unless you agree to their ads, and then setting dom.webcomponents.enabled to true for the duration of my visit to that particular site. Google webcomponents support is required on that site, but our implementation is incomplete so it's strongly discouraged to keep it enabled on all sites.

That fixed it, partially. Thanks so much. Now how do I make it fullscreem, or is that possible?

That's up to the embedded video, if it has a fullscreen button. Or press F11 to toggle the whole browser fullscreen so that you get a slightly bigger viewing area for the video.
