Tab or sometimes the Firefox process crashes when playing youtube video after a while. The tab / process doesn't crash immediately but will continue playing the video for as long as almost 1hr before crash.

OS: Manjaro Linux Viedo card: Nvidia 3060.

The first fix to “YouTube not working on Firefox”, is to disable hardware acceleration. As we know, the hardware acceleration feature is very useful. However, it can trigger some issues like YouTube videos not working on Firefox. So, try disabling the feature and then see if YouTube can work well on Firefox again.
