Firefox HTML5 video support
You need a current version of Firefox with support for MSE and VP9 or H264. You may have to install ffmpeg on Linux. Without MSE, only 360p and 720p videos are available.
YouTube provides a test site that checks support for the various pieces necessary. If some element is missing, check the following Firefox settings:
- media.mediasource.enabled
- media.mediasource.webm.enabled
- media.mediasource.mp4.enabled
