vimeo plays

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
vimeo still plays
BUT if autoremove is run the vimeo does NOT play.

.......1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6....

In W36 and 20180906 daily:
libavcodec57 has been replaced with libavcodec58
and the vimeo on the kali.org page fails.

All three of the following groups depend on libavcodec57.

group 1
libavutil55
libswresample2
libavcodec57

group 2
libswresample2
libavcodec57

group 3
libx265-146 - H.265/HEVC
libavcodec57

Well...
It does not look like it has anything to do with libavcodec58 or the upgrade to ffmpeg 4.0.2 and related packages.

All video and audio I have tried play with CHROMIUM.
BUT most fail with FIREFOX even html5.

What is happening?
xubuntu WORKS
manjaro WORKS
kali-linux-light-2018-W12-amd64.iso WORKS

all current daily and weekly FAIL

Please update your system to get new firefox-esr version 60.2.0esr-1 (it has just been imported into kali-rolling). It fixes the issue for me.
Let us know if you still have the issue.
