It just doesn't play on my Firefox anymore.
I got no issues whatsoever. Are you using any browser addons besides uBlock origin? I've been using ghostery for quite some time (which also has an ad-suppression engine) and that cocked up with youtube. Removed it and now I can use it as always. Firefox 120.0.1.
Good information. I will remove it.

Privacy Badger is better than Ghostery anyway.

Made by a non-profit digital rights group.
And it works fine on Youtube.
Open your videos in Incognito mode, the block is cookie-based. I open YT on my browser in normal mode to see all my subscriptions, then open the videos in incognito with adblock enabled.
