I could not tell if you have a player on your system.

Flash Player Version 18.0.0.232
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Note: Windows users must download the “Internet Explorer” and “Plugin-based browsers” installers.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Some issues that can occur with the "Nightly" version of Firefox are completely unfamiliar to the support volunteers here. You might consider joining the Nightly-testers mailing list: https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/nightly-testers

@FredMcD I won`t use flash player. I don`t like it and i don`t need it. Videos were working without it. I prefer html5 solutions.

Drivers are up to date - checked

Data from about:support: http://pastebin.com/GSKZ1sxR

@jscher2000 It`s on official release/beta/developer preview and aurora channel. So it`s ff error in general.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I can't read the error text.

Could you open Firefox's browser console (Ctrl+Shift+j), click the Clear button to flush out what is there, then reload the page, then check the console for error messages toward the end that might be related to the video.

I don't have any experince in niglty builds other that linux debian 8.1 and you see in here

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1076723

i did try 42.0.a1but it wasn't supporting my favorite plugins the no script and adblock plus that tou can download and install from here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=ss

finally i did found a version of nightly that was supporting them 40.0b9i and i did complete compilation for Linux debian 8.1 when i finished installing all the latest libraries i was be able to see even the mobile version of this website something i can't do with the fixed .exe versions they allow you to download. if you insist to stay in nighty i suggest to the same you can download the same build from here

http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/40.0b9-candidates/build1/

but it will not the same I guess. for Widnows John99 told me to download this version:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/38.2.0esr/

so far it looks to me really stable and fast without of any problems he was right!?

Ps I forgot the youtube you were saying i post the 2nd image i did chose saggy "it wasn't me" you can see it in here:
