What security software are you running? What version of Windows? If Pro, can you fire up Windows Sandbox and see if you have the same issues in the VM? https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/

Does it work any better with h264ify installed?

Make sure hardware acceleration is not disabled. You can force enable it by changing layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true in about:config then restart the browser. You can also force hardware video decoding by changing media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled to true then restart the browser.
