So I tried loading a youtube video and it gets stuck loading, I dont know how else to describe it but when I click play, it gets stuck on the buffering/loading icon and does nothing.

I have tried: Scanning my computer for malware Running Firefox in safe mode Refreshing firefox Refreshing the tab Restarting firefox Restarting my computer Disabling my extensions Disabling my proxy connection settings Disabling hardware acceleration

You can try to adjust the video quality (away from auto) or un-maximize the window and possibly reload to force a re-render to see if that makes the video start.
