1487646 2022-08-01 10:42:00 I am not too sure whether it's Firefox or YouTube is behaving erratically since the last couple of days. I have the latest FF updates and have reinstalled FF.

OS: Windows 11 Pro.

YouTube fails to load for some sites, but it loads OK after a while when I come back to load it.

I have cleared FF's Cache, doesn't help.

Quite annoying, ...

1487647 2022-08-01 19:19:00 I'm having similar anything posted today on Youtube won't play. This on Firefox and Edge so more likely a Youtube issue gary67 (56)
1487648 2022-08-02 07:39:00 Same here with Firefox, and Chrome. Must be YouTube. Gmail is also doing the same thing, must be a Google glitch. mzee (3324)
1487649 2022-08-02 10:51:00 I'm Win 10 P{ro 64 bit -fully updated. I have no problems accessing YouTube Music Videos - using FF , Opera , Chrome or MS Edge.
Another instance of how variable individual computers can act

1487650 2022-08-02 19:23:00 For me its only videos uploaded that day that don't seem to want to play. But then we are at the end of a dead end pipe on a road to nowhere so maybe some of those videos bypass us instead of turning up our street. gary67 (56)
1487651 2022-08-02 23:26:00 Just notice that there's new(?) feature, "pop out this video" causing the problem?
Not aware of this feature until lately.

1487652 2022-08-03 01:28:00 No problems on Firefox 104beta5, I use uTube a lot, haven't noticed any problems but that may be because I am using this extension called Windowed:

1487653 2022-08-04 23:09:00 I found one uTube video yesterday evening that wouldn't play but after a few tries it did work .

It did seem like the faulty behaviour you were describing though.

It seems as if there may be problems with uTube.

1487654 2022-08-06 03:00:00 Turns out you need to turn off hardware acceleration in Firefox settings.

Settings - Performance - untick use recommended performance settings - untick use hardware acceleration when available
