I've picked up a few tricks that seem to work some of the time. This |
| 13 |
is with Seamonkey, but should work with standard Firefox... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1) Set up a separate profile for Youtube, and disable the Flash plugin |
| 16 |
only for that profile (never thought I'd say that). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2) If a video won't play, remove "&hd=1" at the end of the URL. That |
| 19 |
sometimes helps. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
3) Warning... bleeding edge & crash-prone. In about:config toggle |
| 22 |
media.mediasource.enabled to "true". |
