YouTube Advanced Bitrate Not Playing in Firefox
Firefox is not permitting videos from YouTube that other browsers easily play. This needs to be fixed. YouTube offers their Premium subscribers videos which can be played at a higher bitrate, which means even 1080p can play at a higher quality. When setting quality on a video, in addition to the 1080p, you can choose "1080p Advanced bitrate" as an option. Firefox has trouble playing these files, whereas Safari and other browsers don't have a problem with YouTube. Please fix this.

Your screenshot only shows different bit rates, but doesn't show proof of the issue. Provide links to the video(s) that are not working at higher bit rates. Did you try Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? I have no issues with higher bit rate videos. see screenshots My wittle pc doesn't have processing power of your computer. ;-))

What sort of trouble? Do they play at all?
Make sure you have not disabled hardware acceleration.
Try changing media.av1.enabled to false in about:config.
