When watching a youtube video on firefox browser (only) i can not progress the video by sliding the video progress bar backwards or forwards, its completely non responsive.

i click the progress bar and try to drag it and it does nothing.

keep in mind this works perfectly fine in Edge and Opera.

Step 1: Open YouTube on mobile and go to your profile. Step 2: Navigate to Settings > History and privacy. Step 3: Tap on Clear watch history and reset it across all the connected devices.

So is this Windows 11 desktop or mobile? You posted on Windows Desktop O/S and that isn't a mobile O/S.

Did you try with Firefox in Safe Mode? What security software are you running?

I just use windows defender, I did attempt firefox in safe mode, uninstalled addons/extensions even though they worked previously without issues, reinstalled after it didnt fix the problem.

If you can create a gif or record your desktop and show the issue, that would be a big help. I use OBS to record, upload to YouTube, and then share a link.

Also, can you see if you have the same issue under a different Windows account?
