New Tab and Youtube
Opening videos on youtube in a new tab does not work. When I try to start a video, it never starts. Tried it for 3min without any result, refreshin does not help either. To start any video now I have to directly open in the same tab

No, but I don't see a reason why that should help
Are you possibly using containers?
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
I do use extensions, adblock plus, privacy badger and ublock, there is no purple shield. Thing is sometimes the youtube video in a new tab works sometimes it doesn't.
