I’m on Windows (latest updates) and using the most recent version of Firefox. Whenever I try to play YouTube videos, they either buffer indefinitely or won’t load at all. I’ve already tried: 

   Clearing cache and cookies

   Disabling all add-ons and extensions

   Toggling hardware acceleration

   Creating a new Firefox profile

   Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox from scratch

   Checking DRM settings (Widevine)

   Updating my graphics drivers

   Temporarily disabling antivirus/firewall

   Flushing DNS and trying a different DNS

None of these steps solved the problem. YouTube works fine in other browsers on the same system. I’d appreciate any suggestions or help to fix this. Thank you!
