hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

You have several YouTube add-ons. They could be the problem.

i did the safemode and disabled everything and it worked. so i rebooted with everything working and started disabling things till i figured out what was making it not work and it was this addon that firefox told me to add when youtube wasnt working the first time.
