Bug 1230434 is probably a duplicate of this one, not the other way around. I'm not marking it as such anymore because reporter is arguing to the contrary: see bug 1230434, comment 3 and onward.

This may be resolved with the latest version of Firefox and ffmpeg.
Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video: Playback
Flags: needinfo?(gingerbread_man)
Product: Firefox → Core
The original report is using FFmpeg 42. FFmpeg isn't available in Firefox 42 unless you manually enable it.

It was disabled for a reason.

Please try again with 43.

> It is on opensuse 42.1

Opensuse doesn't ship with a FFmpeg build with h264 or aac decoder, it's unusable to play YouTube.

If you are using 42, disable ffmpeg ; or better upgrade to the latest official version: 43
GStreamer support has been removed so this should no longer be an issue.
