If you're going to test experimental features that are disabled by default, you should do so in the latest Nightly.

Do you actually mean that 32-bit Firefox isn't affected, or do you really mean that there's no difference in 32-bit Firefox?
64-bit 42b, 43a2 and 44a1 Nightly are all affected, that is, an error occurs then Flash player comes along instead.
32-bit Firefox can play VP9 youtube videos fine in HTML5 player without any errors.
This can be fixed by set
media.webm.intel_decoder.enabled
to
false

Taking this one ; the intel VP8 decoder is something that hasn't received any love for a while and apparently is broken as confirmed by this bug.

No longer blocks: youtube-mse
@Jean-Yves Avenard
I guess VP8 is no longer being streamed on youtube anymore.
And perhaps this is only an CPU specific issue.
Only Haswell or newer Intel CPU support VP9 acceleration, of course, from modern drivers.
New Intel IGP drivers add H.265, VP9 hardware decode support
http://techreport.com/news/27677/new-intel-igp-drivers-add-h-265-vp9-hardware-decode-support
Anyway, should this setting
media.webm.intel_decoder.enabled
be simply ignored when the hardware (and the driver) is not qualified rather than falling back to flash?

It should already be ignored if it's not a haswell or later CPU.
