I have UBlock installed on Firefox and what is pictured here is what has been happening for every video that I’m clicking on. Panning doesn’t make the video play either. I tried that. It’s not my internet connection since the videos and ads that you can’t even skip and pause when you tab out play just fine on Chrome. In the days before this happened I got several popups from YouTube saying that adblockers aren’t allowed after months of browsing YouTube ad-free without issue

    Try using the extension that can spoof what browser you’re using. Last year, Firefox was being hindered by YouTube until I downloaded that and made it think I was using a Chrome browser.

      Sometimes I wonder if Firefox actually has low market share, of if this sort of shit just skews the statistics.

      I, for one, refuse to spoof my browser because I want them to know Chrome is not as dominant as they think.
