Firefox Community Forum

On Ununtu 24.04 I did an update and youtube doesn't work on FIrefox 152.0.4. I did an update from the Software updater and videos don't play on youtube any more. I go to youtube, click on a suggested video and it goes to that page and everything shows up except the video window. I have the title and the comments and the row of suggested videos on the right, but no video player and no video. Someone suggested I push the F12 key and look under console and there is an error there, a sourcemap error and that it isn't a valid URL . I don't know what that means. I asked on the AskUbuntu site but they get really far down in the weeds and I have no idea what they are asking or saying. I thought I'd see if you guys might know. thanks

on and off issue for a few months now. i dont know if its a firefox issue, a youtube issue, or something else about my laptop. everything says i have the latest update, maybe part of an update broke youtube, i dont know for sure but at this point i have to assume its firefox because it works fine in another browser and mobile app, but i highly prefer to use firefox

sometimes a video will play normally until i "interact" with it: if i have to pause, it wont unpause if i fast forward or rewind, audio will do so but the video will not. or vice versa if i click a different video, whether the current one is done or not, the new one might load 70-75% but not complete and just stay on the current video after any of these happen, the page is basically unresponsive; i can open a new tab but youtube will not open in that tab, but anything else works completely fine. if i close the tab or browser, there is a delay before it actually closes and sometimes the audio is still playing after the browser closes, in which case i can only restart my laptop entirely.

ive tried to reprt this to youtube but i dont trust it actually got to human support. i also tried the "report a broken site" in firefox the other day.

Opening ChatGPT in the AI sidebar, the We use cookies box opens and shows:

The word Manage is a link to "Cookie Preference Center."

The link opens the "cookie preference centre", but it is fogged out and the expected tool to tailor my preferences (instead of just the 2 accept or reject), and the "Learn More" link are not accessible.
