Nightly doesn't let me watch YouTube videos (only sound present).

Hello. So I'm having this issue with Nightly: it doesn't let me play YouTube videos, only the sound plays, the area where the video shall be playing stays black. There is also some other weird thing happening...to be precise: the browser doesn't allow me to install any themes that aren't in "featured" tab (after I open the website with themes nothing happens when I'm clicking "add"). But, as you can see, the most worrying is the thing with YT videos. I don't have a problem with Twitch and watching streams. I really like the browser and I don't want to switch it for any other but those little things annoy me. Kind regards, PannaTruskawka

Nightly is a pre-release version of Firefox, and can have a lot of bugs. I would suggest switching to a release version of Firefox, such as the Firefox 37 version. This may get rid of your problem. Also try restarting in safe mode.

Have a great day!!
