youtube videos won't load starting from some positions
Hi,
For some youtube videos, firefox will not start loading at some time position.
For instance, this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT4PCifOv6Y
If you place at 0:50 for instance, it will never load. But it loads at other positions, like 1:50.
I also reinstalled firefox completely, and I have this problem at my job computer too (2 windows 10)
I don't have this problem in chrome.
Any solution ? Is this a firefox bug ?
Thanks,
Patrick

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Problem still there in safe mode.
Those 3 links won't help.
Have you tried the link ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT4PCifOv6Y
Go at 0:50, you'll see that the playback will NOT load. But it works with Chrome.
Is this a known bug ?

While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
I already tried removing all cache and cookies, safe mode, and new profile. Problem still there.
I disabled 3d acceleration and restarted firefox Problem still there.
To be clear: The link does load, but it will NOT load if you position at somewhere around 0:50.
Since it works with another html5 player (using addon "HTML5 Video Everywhere!"), the issue is with firefox having problem with the youtube html5 player.
Youtube works for me, so it's something on your system. I called for more help.
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
