After a tutorial to switch to the YouTube Flash Player, the HTML5 Player dosen't work -- Even after restoring Firefox.
Even after TRYING to remove and NOT BEING ABLE TO remove the boolean the tutorial asked me to add and after Refreshing/Resetting FireFox it does not work. I guess i can just switch out of firefox and spend the rest of my days crying about taht every time i watch a video on YouTube but who really cares about feelings those days, amirite? (That last sentance was sarcasm)
Is there any way i can fix this? (Reminder -- Refreshing/Resetting Firefox DOES NOT WORK.)

HI, you can try this but the issue is probably in your Profile : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0.2 with a Full Version Installer
Create a new profile as a TEST to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem. Never work with original files.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Youtube currently uses the HTML5 player, not flash. The HTML5 is built into Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues
