BTW, I can also reproduce the problem on Google Chrome Dev54, Windows10.
Looks like it's not a Firefox regression, because the same issue is reproducible on Firefox 48, but sometimes you need to redo a STR one or more times to see the bug.

Richard - is this a YouTube bug?
Per Anthony's comment in #6, the issue is being tracked and appears to be within Youtube.

Based on Comment #7, let's move this to TE and follow up via the ML (it's been 3 months...)

Karl, can you contact YouTube to follow up (when you're back from PTO)?

I'm not sure I understood the steps to reproduce, so I did with a practical example.

1. Go to 
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w
2. Remove autoplay
3. Going to https://youtu.be/bd2B6SjMh_w?t=181
4. I get a mosaic of six tiles for the next videos to play.
5. Searching for "Amy Winehouse" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Amy+winehouse
6. Click on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUmZp8pR1uc

I got before the ads a very quick flash with the old frame of Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

So I guess this is the bug, the very quick flash with the old first frame. It lasts less than one second. 

Reported through the partner mailing list.

YouTube acknowledged the issue.

> This is indeed our bug and I think it's caused because of the way we reuse video tags. It should be fixed in an upcoming version of the site.

WFM - is this issue still reproducible?
Flags: needinfo?(virtual)
Yes. The issue is still reproducible and still not fixed by YouTube developers for over 3 months, same as bug #1300235.

Anthony, Adam Stevenson was able to reproduce this issue. Any thoughts?

Mike I read this bug over again today and am thinking this isn't FF specific so doesn't really need Anthony's attention right?

David, not sure if this matters but it's in fennec 55 that I see this issue daily. Each new video displays the frame from the last one for a second.

Yeah, and Comment #7 says Youtube is tracking this.

This seems to be fixed now.

Could you still reproduce it?
