Youtube not working properly on Firefox 23
Youtube worked perfectly fine before Firefox updated to version 23. The video will freeze on the first frame while the audio plays. When the browser is moved up and down by scrolling, the video will play for a moment frame by frame. If I do it enough, the video will finally play continuously.

I had the problem of no video, only audio, with my own video that I uploaded to Flckr. I cleared the Firefox cache by clicking Tools... Options... Advanced... Network... Cached Web Content... Clear now. That solved the problem. I just posted a question in this forum asking why this worked.

Thank you for the response. So I cleared the Cached Web Content and still have the same issue.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Also check the setting in security (anti-virus) software to make sure that it isn't blocking content or otherwise interfering.
Thank you for your response.
It was changing the theme to default that did it. Even in Safe Mode with a custom theme it still acted up. Much better, thank you!
Any way to have themes without it messing up Firefox?
same issue and tried several themes, none of them works well, need help as I dont like default theme :(
hi, setting to default solved the tube problem, but I don't like the default theme either.....................

Hello,
I localized our YouTube Not Playing issue to a container element using the following style:
transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
Our youtube embed code was in a child element.
As soon as I commented this CSS out, our youtube videos started working again. FireFox 25 and 26.
THANKYOU WLANNI !!!
However : how do I do that ??? transform that thing ???
thnx
:-)

The opposite is meant.
wlanni was using the transform: translate3d(0,0,0); code and that made the YouTube code malfunctioning in Firefox.
It was required to modify the CSS and remove this rule for the container element of the iframe with the YouTube player.
I don't think that this would apply to the subject of this thread as nothing would play and you wouldn't be able to start the media player.
