Re: OT: Firefox + html5 + Youtube "Live" vids

Hi,

Interesting thing here. I'm fighting with this problem right now. When
I click on the video that opens inside the gmail tab I can see it, but
if I open it in YouTube it says I don't have any HTML5 video support.

Going to https://www.youtube.com/html5 I get:

 HTMLVideoElement
 Media Source Extensions
 MSE & H.264
 MSE & WebM VP9

All the ones from above with the blue check.

On read the other 2:

 H.264
 WebM VP8

Is this something with YouTube specifically, or does it have to do
with my FF? And why is it that I can see it inside the gmail tab?

YouTube was working just fine until a month or two ago.

Regards,
