New YouTube player not working in Firefox

Question

I have noticed weird look of youtube on my *phone* yesterday. Today, I cannot play a single video on my *computer* when I use firefox. But when i switch to chrome-based browser, it plays just fine.It is not adblock issue and has been like this the whole day.Anyone else experiencing these issues? I saw some reddit posts but they span across multiple days, so I would think this was short outage from few days ago, but it looks like is is not and likely google trying to F with firefox again, like they like to do.

Works for me on Firefox for Android with version 143.0.4. And I just updated to 144.0 and tried again, and that is working also.

I also have problems with Firefox. I guess it is something Google related...

Try 140.4.0 ESR as a work around to give them time to figure out what they broke unless you depend on a feature in 144. [1] Works for me on Linux and Windows. Or try starting 144 in safe mode to disable all addons as a test.[1] - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/140.4.0esr/
