Trammel, if you would like to watch higher resolution YouTube, you can enable VP9 video by setting about:config pref "media.mediasource.webm.enabled" = true. VP9 for Linux will ship in Firefox 43.

Chris, can you please elaborate? It seems like changing media.mediasource.webm.enabled:true does not work as described for Trammel. Trammel, can you please test the latest Firefox Nightly build from nightly.mozilla.org? It should have the fix from bug 1217170. Check if that works around this issue on Ubuntu as well.

Just to reiterate. This bug occurs on Firefox NOT Firefox Developer Edition.

I am very surprised that "Media Source Extensions" is red/unsupported. What is the value of your "media.webm.enabled" pref? The expected default value is true for all current Firefox channels on all desktop platforms.

It is set to true, however I had to do that manually, it was not set to true by default.

oops. I copied the wrong pref name. Sorry! What is the value of your "media.mediasource.enabled" pref? (not webm)
