Youtube video player not working properly - defaults back to a different player.

When playing videos on YouTube while signed into my Google account, YouTube sooner or later defaults to a different video player (according to a friend of mine, it is a fallback video player). To get back to the "normal" video player, I have to log out of my Google account, restart Firefox, and then log back in. This problem only seems to occur a longer while after logging back into my account, but it is recurring.

This only started happening after I downloaded Google Chrome and installer two plugins as a part of testing (supposedly used to HTML code extraction). I did remove both extensions, and then uninstalled Chrome, but the issue persists.

Is there any way to combat this?

Neviem, ako ten priložený obrázok mal objasniť problém v prehrávaní vídeí!?

===============================

Vytvorte si NOVÝ profil ako test pre kontrolu, či váš súčasný profil nie je príčinou tohoto problému. Ak váš súčasný profil nie je príčinou tohoto problému, prepnete sa po kontrole späť na ten pôvodný (asi default) profil. - Windows - Štart - Spustiť - (WIN+R) - a tu vypísať firefox.exe -p (alebo "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p) http://imgbank.cz/images/2014/09/04/Firefox_profil_novy.jpg

Ja si do NOVÉHO profilu prenášam iba tieto súbory zo starého profilu: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default - platí pre Windows 10 1. hesla, ktoré zostali v STAROM profile: - logins.json a key4.db 2. prihlasovacie údaje, ktoré zostali v STAROM profile: - cookies.sqlite 3. Záložky, ktoré zostali v STAROM profile: - bookmarks-2024-03-15_xxxxxxxxx.jsonlz4 (číselný údaj 2024-03-15 = dátum, ktorý sa denne mení). Toto je záloha z 15.03.2024 - stará história a aj záložky sú v súbore places.sqlite a formhistory.sqlite

Všetky tieto kopírovania do nového profilu sa musia vykonávať pri ukončenom Firefoxe.

YouTube dříve nebo později jako výchozí použije jiný přehrávač videa (podle mého přítele je to záložní přehrávač videí).

Já jsem dodnes netušil, že YouTube má nějaký "záložní" přehrávač.

Vyzerá to tak, že vo svojom účte na YouTube máte zapnuté "priame prenosy prostredníctvom kódovača " a máte zastavený hlavný kódovač, ktorý máte prepnutý na "záložný kódovač". Myslím si, že bude stačiť iba prepnúť to späť na "hlavný kódovač".

Firefox nemá nič spoločné s nastavením vášho účtu na YouTube a nijakým spôsobom Firefox nemôže meniť nastavenie tohoto účtu bez vášho vedomia.
