Worksforme, does it still not work for you?

maybe he used unsupported codecs for audio on his blog. chromium does support mp3 and x264 but firefox doesn't

have you tried using a clean profile in firefox?
Comment by peter lustig (scsimodo) - Tuesday, 04 October 2011, 23:01 GMT
I figured out that www.youtube.com/feather_beta was activated and caused some trouble. So normally using a clean firefox/profile should work fine (or delete the youtube cookies). WebM Videos with activated www.youtube.com/html5 is running fine for me now.
