YouTube videos not loading properly on Mozilla Firefox
I really need help fast on this issue. Just this afternoon I started having problems with YouTube. Videos won't load unless I refresh the page multiple times. I have debug code: {"ns":"yt","el":"detailpage","cpn":"JOhzVQlzOz-aFgZz","docid":"4yRpysQxRxE","ver":2,"referrer":"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=metallica+full+album","cmt":"0","plid":"AAU1wGmUt2BtlBQN","ei":"jKNoV8ryLcLQuALHm4egCg","fmt":"244","fs":"0","rt":"5.033","of":"HlVsldlqEsDT6mwPfau8oA","adformat":null,"content_v":null,"euri":"","subscribed":null,"lact":2,"live":null,"cl":"125309588","mos":0,"osid":null,"state":"48","vm":"CAMQAQ","volume":80,"c":"WEB","cver":"1.20160618","cplayer":"UNIPLAYER","cbr":"Firefox","cbrver":"47.0","cos":"Windows","cosver":"10.0","hl":"en_GB","cr":"CA","len":"2810","fexp":"9407156,9408352,9416126,9416891,9419452,9422596,9428398,9431012,9433096,9433221,9433946,9435526,9435666,9435876,9436809,9436835,9437066,9437285,9437451,9437553,9437742,9437948,9438036,9438600,9438658,9438768,9439011,9439580,9439618,9439653,9439743","afmt":"140","lct":"0.000","lsk":true,"lmf":true,"lbw":"2136455.839","lhd":"0.493","ltd":"0.000","laa":"","lva":"","lar":"itag=140,seg=0,range=4008-65535,time=0.0-3.9","lvr":"itag=244,seg=0,range=10094-76391,time=0.0-3.0","lvh":"r8---sn-tt17rn76","preroll":"1","ismb":7820000,"debug_videoId":"4yRpysQxRxE","ad_ns":"yt","ad_el":"adunit","ad_cpn":"K7fHOB_URAl9fKpl","ad_docid":"XZ9-2IyoqRM","ad_ver":2,"ad_referrer":null,"ad_cmt":"0","ad_plid":null,"ad_ei":null,"ad_fmt":null,"ad_fs":"0","ad_rt":"4.543","ad_of":null,"ad_adformat":"15_2_1","ad_content_v":"4yRpysQxRxE","ad_euri":"","ad_subscribed":null,"ad_lact":4,"ad_live":null,"ad_cl":"125309588","ad_mos":0,"ad_q":null,"ad_osid":null,"ad_state":"40","ad_vm":null,"ad_volume":80,"ad_c":"WEB","ad_cver":"1.20160618","ad_cplayer":"UNIPLAYER","ad_cbr":"Firefox","ad_cbrver":"47.0","ad_cos":"Windows","ad_cosver":"10.0","ad_autoplay":"1","ad_hl":"en_GB","ad_cr":"CA","ad_len":"0","ad_fexp":"9407156,9408352,9416126,9416891,9419452,9422596,9428398,9431012,9433096,9433221,9433946,9435526,9435666,9435876,9436809,9436835,9437066,9437285,9437451,9437553,9437742,9437948,9438036,9438600,9438658,9438768,9439011,9439580,9439618,9439653,9439743","ad_vct":"0.000","ad_vd":"NaN","ad_vpl":"","ad_vbu":"","ad_vpa":true,"ad_vsk":false,"ad_ven":false,"ad_vpr":1,"ad_vrs":0,"ad_vns":0,"ad_vec":null,"ad_vvol":0.8,"ad_debug_videoId":"XZ9-2IyoqRM","cgr":true,"debug_playbackQuality":"large","debug_date":"Mon Jun 20 2016 21:16:35 GMT-0500 (Central Standard Time)"} My Internet connection isn't really that bad. I have tried Opera and it worked.

What security software do you have?
It is possible that security software (anti-virus, firewall) is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
Youtube currently uses the HTML5 player.

I have Avira. I don't think disabling helps.

There's this option to REFRESH your firefox such that it becomes like a fresh installed version , just in case it might interest you ---> http://wasa.me/2rYs

Refresh Firefox {web link} is a LAST RESORT ! !
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

I don't think refreshing Firefox really helps. Mozilla has to test their browsers before release.
Mozilla has beta versions of the programs available for those who want to be beta testers. But even so, many problems like yours end up here.
