Are you running FF on Android?
Because with FF DE on desktop (Win 7), I have no issue to play any videos on YT.
Flags: needinfo?(jefer_590)
We can't help unless you specify the exact phone make/model.
If it is a desktop issue then it is probably because you're using Windows N or KN.
Running into the exactly the same problem under Windows 10 Pro N 64bits (What's wrong about Windows N versions?)
Details frm about:support just in case it helps

Are they these versions without WMP? Maybe the H264 Video Decoder is missing from Microsoft Media Foundation used by Firefox to decode H264.
