Are you talking about the middle two on https://www.youtube.com/html5/ ?

To fully support HTML5 player make sure you have appropriate FFmpeg package installed.

Did you check if there are updates available for FFmpeg ?

Firefox relies on FFmpeg for playing media files with the HTML5 media player. You can also check the Web Console for media related messages.
