I run a few extentions but even in safe mode i cant watch all the videos i want to. Sometimes ill click the link and it immediately reverts back to the previous page without playing anything or me touching anything and no error message. Sometimes the videos just dont show up at all on youtubers pages. I can go on chrome and watch them but i really dont like chrome and would like to be able to watch videos again on mozilla.

You probably have a more fundamental problem but here is something quick you could try. Working in Safe Mode should fix this but it could be worth disabling your Video Blocker extension.
