Example: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graph ... fault.html

Site microsoft.com: Not allowed.
Forbid audio/video: checked
Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too: checked

-> Yellow click-to-play-placeholders are there, clicking on them starts the loading of the video

Site microsoft.com: Allowed.
Forbid audio/video: checked
Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too: checked

-> No yellow click-to-play-placeholders, cannot start any video. Error-message: "The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

Site microsoft.com: Not allowed.
Forbid audio/video: checked
Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too: UNchecked

-> Yellow click-to-play-placeholders are there, clicking on them starts the loading of the video

Site microsoft.com: Allowed.
Forbid audio/video: checked
Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too: UNchecked

-> No yellow click-to-play-placeholder, video-fields are displayed properly, playing the videos is possible.

Can you confirm this?

Interesting. Yes, I can see that the placeholders don't appear in the second case. However, you can still play the videos using the Blocked Objects submenu.

Nothing showed up in the Error Console, so perhaps this is a (non-critical) bug.

As a follow-up, there's a problem with NoScript, html5-videos and media.autoplay.enabled being set to false on sites which are not allowed.

STR:
1. Set media.autoplay.enabled to false
2. Make sure that NoScript is set to "Forbid audio/video: checked" and "Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too: checked"
3. Go to the site linked in the OP.
4. If microsoft.com is allowed, disallow it and reload.
5. Click on the first video-placeholder to temporarily allow it. The video will load but not play.
6. Allow microsoft.com and reload the site.
7. Click on the play-button and the video will start to play.

8. Disallow microsoft.com and reload.
9. The previously temporarily allowed video will show up, the other videos won't.
10. Click on the play-button of the video.

Expected result:
The video should start to play normally.

Actual result:
The video does not start to play. You have to seek a couple seconds into the video for it to start playing.

This does not happen with NoScript disabled or if the options in step 2 are set differently; the video starts to play fine when the play-button is clicked.

EDIT: Apparently media.autoplay.enabled has no effect on whether this bug occurs or not. This is probably a side-effect of the bug mentioned in OP.

After upgrading to NoScript 2.6.8.1, the page is now looking like this when the domain is forbidden:

Reproduced in Firefox 23 and 24.

PS: An error message telling me that the post triggered the anti-spam-filter and I should modify the post isn't helping when I don't know what triggered the filter in the first place. Now I know that it's not allowed to have an [img]-tag within a [url]-tag.

2.6.8.2rc1 fixed the previous post's issue, thank you.
The original problem still exists.

On http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/video/ NoScript's placeholder is being shown, even with mozilla.org allowed.
Why is that?
What's the difference?

Because the video is coming from mozilla.net. You should be able to see this on the Blocked Objects submenu.

So when the video is coming from a different domain, allowed or not, the placeholder works, but not when both the site and the video are on the same domain and allowed?

Is it just microsoft.com that is affected, or other sites too?

Haven't seen this anywhere else yet.
