Re: cant play this video no more.....?
arte seems to sniff for the browser locale. Switching PM 28.7.1 / linux-x86 to a "de"-localized profile worked out fine for me
edit*: In their FAQ Firefox is supported from 65+, but videos also played well in 52.9.0. Changing UAs in PM-en.us and toggling geo.enabled brought nothing but 500's for me.

What they're believed to be doing, is what I call acting like malware!

At the other extreme is the new fashion of never showing a 404 for broken links and simply redirecting you to the main page as though nothing happened. Plenty of news sites are guilty of this. I ran Bookmarks Checker on my huge list of bookmarks imported from del.icio.us, and for many sites it was just going to the main page.

Re: cant play this video no more.....?
I did a last test, this time with a fresh profile (vanilla install of Pale Moon 28.7.1 portable).
The video from ARTE plays fine out of the box with a vanilla Pale Moon 28.7.1.
This should apply to everyone connecting from a region (e.g. DE) that isn't affected by geo-blocking.
As for how to circumvent geo-blocking, that's another story and IMHO not subject of this topic.
Anyway, I'm almost sure that geo-blocking wasn't the reason why the thread starter couldn't watch the video.
As for the error 500 massage, sadly it gets misused by some content providers, rendering this error message useless.
An appropriate and honest error message in such cases would be: "F*ck you, I won't deliver my content as long as some of your browser settings aren't to my like".

He's based in Germany, so the geoblock doesn't affect him.
