Hi there,

I recently (Aug 2024) updated my Pi-Hole and the result is: youtube stopped working in firefox all together, wheras ...

in Google-Chrome it is working as usual. Reverting the Pi-Hole to the condition before does not resolve the issue and youtube in firefox remains unusable - no playback ever starts. Message is: Try restarting you device, which I did multiple times, to no avail. My Firefox Ver. is: 115.14.0esr (64-bit) on a Win-7 PC.

Just to let you know. Best regards, Gunter

Have you tried disabling Pi-Hole temporarily, Gunter? If YouTube starts working normally in Firefox again, it points to Pi-Hole blocking something necessary. Then you can focus on whitelisting the right domains.

Hi there. I tried disabling the Pi-hole. Also taking the Pi off-line all together.

The result is the same: YOUTUBE won't work in Firefox, but does in Chrome

It even works on the Pi itself (in Firefox) but not on the Win-7 PC.

So I doubt it has anything to do with Pi-hole.

Hi there again,

 I received a feedback, which was pointing me to my Pi-hole (Next best guess) - but a logical root cause exam was pointing anywhere else, but.

 However: Today I updated my FF to 115.15.0esr (64-bit) and the issue has disappeared, it is working again. So I thought: Mozilla also deserves: "Some positive Feedback". Well done folks !!

YouTube in FF has been breaking periodically over the last year. Network log shows a 204 message back from YouTube on every video, yet they all work fine in Edge and Chrome.

I'm on my third issue with it in the last 12 months. One time rebooting may have helped (not sure that's what did it), the second time a FF update may have done it. Again, not sure - YouTube just started working again after a period of time, and an update happened during that time.

The current issue (Oct 2024) is ongoing - restart of FF didn't help, reboot didn't help. Guess I switch browsers again for a while and try back later - very annoying.
