It reminds me how YouTube enforced new codec with a few days notice knowing that FireFox doesn't support it, so FF couldn't play most YT videos for over a week.

- faeyanpiraat 5y agoDid yt back up or ff updated to fix issue?
- agilob 5y agoFirefox got the codecs working in the next release
- TheGoddessInari 5y ago> enforced new codec YouTube turned off flash player as the default in 2015, and VP9 was supported in Firefox at the same time. YouTube still serves h.264, vp9, and av1. I was trying to figure out what this could be referring to.
- agilob 5y agoNot all codecs were ported at the same time, and then not enabled by default, and when enabled by default it was platform dependent, for others where it worked FF was eating all possible CPU resources and videos were glitching. I remember this as I was using Debian and I was active on /r/firefox, where this [1] link was posted 10 times every day [1] https://www.youtube.com/html5 https://www.youtube.com/html5
