As per the title, I can play a YouTube LiveStream this was the one I was viewing today PostOffice Inquiry https://www.youtube.com/@postofficehorizonitinquiry947 and SkyNews which play fine for about 20 seconds then fail with an error message that "Something went wrong, please try again latter". Refreshing the YouTube page the Livestream then plays another 20 seconds of the livestream then fails again with the same error message.

Other non LiveStream YouTube videos play fine

I have disabled all extensions, tried firefox troubleshooting mode, tried opening in a private window, tried logged in and out of YouTube account. The same thing happens (stream plays then ends after 20 seconds).

The same YouTube Livestram URLs work fine in Chrome Browser

system: Linux 24.10 Beta Firefox Snap version 130..0.1
