[ale] Fedora 34, Firefox 89, video broken

[Derek Atkins]

For what it's worth, I just updated my F33 desktop; this update also
included FF-89.  I just tested youtube and the first video I tried played
just fine.  So more likely it's either something specific to F34, or it's
something on your specific system.
