When I press the pause button on my keyboard, it doesn't stop the YouTube video like it used to. I'm not sure why it stopped working. I've checked the key, and it works fine in Chrome.

Make sure media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled is true in about:config.

Does it still happen with the flatpak package?

I have checked it and it was already marked as true. I toggled between false and true to check for any configuration issues, but the pause key is still not working. However, the pause key works in Chrome!

What is your Linux distro? It works for me on Ubuntu.

Did you try the flatpak package?

You can also try the official Mozilla build.

Means you are saying me to uninstall the current Firefox and install it from official Mozilla build. ??

You don't have to uninstall anything, the flatpak and Mozilla builds can be installed separately.

I installed both, but the problem still persists.
