Videos stopped playing on Firefox today. I had no issues even this morning but starting a few minutes ago no videos would load and play. I am able to play videos on Chrome and no other video/audio issues. I restarted my pc and cleared Firefox cache/cookies but that hasn't fixed the problem. I am using Windows 10. Could you please assist?

Best, Steve

What videos??? What site? Show the issue and provide link and steps to replicate if needed.

Videos on YouTube are not playing. Not sure about other sites but at least some imbedded videos on Yahoo News did play so this seems specific to YouTube.

Examples of videos not working for you please... Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?

No videos were playing. I went into troubleshoot mode and tried a video and it didn't work. I then closed the browser, launched a fresh browser, and now anything on youtube plays fine. I don't know if I'm still in troubleshoot mode or not, but the issue seems to be fixed.
