When i try to play videos on YouTube or other websites the video will only play a few frames and then stop.

I have tried going into troubleshoot mode but it did not help. I am using Linux.

Thank you for helping. I tested a bit and i belive it was not an issue with firefox since it did not work on other browsers either.

I reinstalled my system and now everything works fine. Might have been an missing package.
