Since the last few Firefox updates, I cannot play any embed YouTube videos. Should this be reported as a bug? Can anyone help?

Press play on an embed YouTube video anywhere on the internet. Video tries to load, video fails to load and I get a generic error message with a Playback ID.

OK. Do you have any extensions?

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
