Thanks for the pointer. I have no trouble playing that video in
nightly. So, something differs in our configuration. But finding
it? Ha! That will be a problem. Try running nightly from a term
with with --safe-mode after the exec. Or, as a different user.
Here, I have nightly installed in /usr/local/bin, so I would run
/usr/local/bin/firefox --safe-mode
That should give you messages in the term when it fails.
I did that and got the following messages:

I also got the following messages at startup of firefox as well:
Gtk-Message: 09:41:24.205: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"
[fluent] Missing message in locale en-US: refresh-profile-instead
[fluent] Couldn't find a message: refresh-profile-instead

The 2 nul bytes are a known issue on youtube videos, and harmless.
The only other messages I see are:
ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by
environment.
[fluent] Missing message in locale en-US:
[fluent] Couldn't find a message:

So that leaves the ffi and appmenu messages as being evidence of your
problem. I can't say either way on those.
I read that you have found a flawed workaround, to turn off audio.
In that regard, I am not using pulseaudio, I am using pipewire and
wireplumber. That might make a difference, since it is sound that is
the issue. I think there are instructions that explain how to swap
them. From memory, it is something like
dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire
though it might be
dnf swap pipewire pulseaudio
Sort of like the two types of calculator sequences.
Then
dnf install wireplumber
If that doesn't work, you could just reverse them to restore to your
original system.
To try to rectify this issue I did the following:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Gnome via the dnf group
Did a dnf groupupdate on all groups that looked like they had
something to do with audio/videos for Gnome and KDE, except the
multimedia group because of conflicts with one installed package which
can't be removed because a protected package had a dependency on the
package in question.
I uninstalled and re-installed pulseaudio.
Used dnfdragora to install all packages that looked like they had
something to do with codecs and audio/video libraries.
Then when I had finished that I tried loading some youtube videos
into Firefox Nightly and those videos played without disabling the audio
but they did not produce any audio.
I shutdown last night and when I started up this morning I again
tried to play the same youtube videos in Firefox Nightly and it is back
to the original state of not playing the videos unless audio is disabled
in the video.
Now that there is an audio interface in KDE System Settings that
seems to be interfacing to pulseaudio, and when I try to test the sound
from the stereo speakers for my headphones I get the message "Error
trying to play a test sound. The system said: 'Invalid state'".
The pulseaudio manager seems to be indicating that pulseaudio is
using alsa backend modules to connect to the playback devices, also
switching devices doesn't make any difference to the issue.
I also tried issuing the command sudo systemctl is-system-running
and that returned the response "degraded".
How do I determine what is causing the current state?
regards,
Steve
