### Steps to reproduce

1. Open about:config
2. Search for autoplay in the settings
3. Set `media.autoplay.default` to `1` ("Block Audio", which is the default)
4. Set `media.autoplay.blocking_policy` to `2`
5. Open a Twitch VOD, for instance https://www.twitch.tv/videos/280106033
6. Try to unmute the video (either by clicking Twitch player's speaker control button, or by dragging the accompanying volume slider)

### What I expect to happen
For the audio to be unmuted.

### What happens instead
The audio remains muted, and the volume control/indicator remains in the muted position.

I'm unmotivated to report this to Twitch, as I'm unsure about the precise meaning of `media.autoplay.blocking_policy`, and I currently don't use the non-working value for it myself. Feel free to downprioritize this as you see fit, unless the original reporter is still affected. Here's [my downstream report over at Launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1874808) though, just for reference. (I'll update it too.)
