Bonjour,

Everything is in the subject....

I don't know exactly since when youtube videos can't be played in
firefox on my machine (fedora 21): I can see the first image of the
video, the slider works normaly, but the video is not played....

Is it a bug or do I need some extra plugin?

Thank you.

I can play at least this video at youtube,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJz5d7cAVfY
in F21.  Google recently moved the videos to a new domain,
googlevideo.com, and if you are using noscript, that is probably not
enabled.  I had to enable both youtube.com and that domain in noscript
before the video would play.  I am using firefox nightly, rather than
the default version for F21.

I fired up the distribution browser in F21, version 42, and I was about
to write that I could not get it to play youtube videos, when I tried
it one last time, and it suddenly started working.  Not sure what
changed.  It would just hang when starting the video, until a message
came up saying something about an error, learn more.  Happened
several times, but once it started playing the videos, it played them
from then on.

I have noticed suddenly goes crashing when you are using html5 only.
When it trying to change the load of the stream simply on my lappie
crashing every time, and kills firefox. Under webkit based browsers
doesn't producing this. More and less for me Firefox is as it changes
version gets changes into an bloatware, so I don't use that much.

The same here, on different machines. And it continues with FF 43,
while downgrading to 41 fixes the thing. That's f*ckin' annoying..

Hmm........ must be distro specific, FF 42 & 43 play youtube videos just
fine here on opensuse 13.2 ;-)

After all, I think you're most probably right. Just checked FF 43 on a
Wind*ws machine, and all works well.
