Youtube, Facebook and other embedded videos never load (FF 58.0.2)
I am unable to watch videos in Firefox since the last update. There is a spinning wheel and it never finishes loading. Since I reinstalled FF, there are no external plugings. Tried re-install, restart, nothing worked. They do play properly in Chrome.

Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away, that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thanks for replying, but I tried this, works fine on the first video, then it happens again.
The first clip plays, but not any others?

I re-check and the conclusion is: - safe mode: everything works fine
Then I start in normal mode: no videos at all. The same with incognito mode.
This video worked in safe mode and did not work in regular mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gokLI42w_WI
I have the following add-ons:
OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. hockwave Flash
Is there any other thing worth checking?
Thanks

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for media related messages and messages about the presence of mixed or unsafe content or Tracking Protection.

Thank you! Disabling Hardware Acceleration seemed to solve the problem.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
