Visuals play O'k.
But have to open page in chrome to get sound
@Mello
I no have Twitter account, but similar problem was in Google translator. For me this problem has been solved by manual DirectShow filter registration in system (with regsvr32). In my case, it was L3CODECx.AX, but MP3 was necessary for google. I can assume that at you the AAC decoder can be required, but it is only a hypothesis.
I recommend will study this table (in bottom of article): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_audio
This table of support audio formats for WEB (pay attention to Firefox column i.e. if decoder is present at OS this format is supported). KM as FF supports DirectShow and ACM system decoders. You can look the graph of system filters to understand what isn't enough. For this can be used GraphEdit from M$: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GraphEdit .
Or for tests of support can use prehistoric versions of MPC (not modern!). I have a MPC v.6.4.00.0002 archive version from 2002 (279 KB in size). This is very simple and small media player and not have no one internal decoder (now fashionably build all players with kodecpaks inside). Similar software is the ideal ground for tests of support. Also old WMP v6.4 or mplay32 will approach (he is absent in newer OS's).
By the way, it is necessary to consult to siria and it is possible to include this info in FAQ. It is a standard problem, but it is difficult for the decision without some technical knowledge.

Sorry no idea, but perhaps try: Open about:config, filter for "media" and look around for suspects in that evergrowing jungle...
Someone in the PaleMoon-Forum mentioned if twitter has no sound, it's just missing codecs, which can be installed from K-Lite Codec pack or such. Perhaps.

Not twitter, but interesting: Youtube checks also the useragent, and if it contains XP (NT5.1) it delivers another format:

Simple way: LAV filters v.0.69 (~7 M
https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases/download/0.69/LAVFilters-0.69-x86.zip
Unzip, run install_splitter.bat, install_audio.bat (can and install_video.bat). Test!

Thank you hermes & siria.
You've taken a lot of trouble to help me. Now I feel a bit silly
for not noticing this was the answer:
Aside from play the twitter video controls only appear on mouseover and Volume is disabled by default using K-M, but not with Google's Chrome browser.

We currently support MP4 and MOV video formats on mobile apps.
On the web, we support the MP4 video format with H264 format with AAC audio

all twitter videos appear with sound turned off by default for me, both on Serpent 2018.05.25 and on FF 52.8.1 esr, so that, if I want sound, I must turn it on explicitly, in the player window.

The default video stream is encoded in the VP9 format with stereo Opus audio; if VP9/WebM is not supported in the browser/device or the browser's user agent reports Windows XP, then H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video with stereo AAC audio is used instead.
