Do you you have the (NPAPI) Flash Player Plugin installed?
Youtube uses the HTML5 player in Firefox while acceding to Hotstar faq you need the Flash Player Plugin from Adobe.
You can either install it in your package manager or from Adobe https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ (Version 28.0.0.137)
If Firefox was still running when you install Flash Player, either restart Firefox or type about:plugins in the Location (address) bar for Firefox to scan for the new version of Flash Plugin.
