Since I could reproduce this issue on my local env(linuxmint 20, apache 2.4.41, enmod ssl+http2+brotli) by adding "AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS video/mp4", remove it if you have such conf. (you must have it because of "content-encoding: br" in the response header on your site)
(btw, maybe it's better to submit a bug report because chromium edge has no problem with "content-encoding: br" for video/mp4)

well, it has been a long time with many FF updates and the issue remains unsolved

I can't even play a 1min clip without the network error (no other browser has issues)

the issue is now resolved

here is what a server support person did:

I've added this to the .htaccess file:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.mp4$" no-brotli=1

Which tells Apache that if the requested file ends in "mp4", then set the environment variable for disabling brotli for that file.

(Ah, so it sounds like atlanto had come up with the correct answer. [Well, I guess the correct answer is that things work without having to finagle... but...].)
Fire 750, bring back 250.

the strange thing is that it works in all other browsers without modifying the htaccess file
