They work for me if I allow mozilla.com using NoScript's default settings with NoScript 2.1.2.4rc3.
The following support article should get you straightened out again.
General troubleshooting: missing icons/menus, etc.
In particular, after installing
latest development build, steps 2, 4, and 5 are most likely applicable.

It works for me (3 video clips).
Are both mozilla.com and mozilla.net allowed?

Uncheck NoScript Options > Embeddings > Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too

(All I did was to click the placeholders.)

That's all I *ever* do to allow videos. Mush safer than giving total executable-content privilege to whitelisted sites. But that's just MHO. YMMV.

It seems to be a placeholder positioning issue.
The site places part of the player UI on top of the VIDEO element, therefore the click on the placeholder gets intercept by this overlayed UI element and lost.
I could work around by checking every click on a page with placeholders for overlap by position, but I'm not sure whether it's worth the effort (and possible performance impact) since you can still unblock the video from the "Blocked objects" menu.
