Browser / Version: Firefox 103.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Video or audio doesn't play
Description: There is no video
Steps to Reproduce:
Ever since FF updated to 103.0 some videos on YouTube wont play.

Twice I did a system restore to remedy and test the problem. And each time FF updates to 103 the bug appears.

Some videos display: "If playback doesn't begin shortly try restarting your device."

This happens randomly and whenever.

I never had this problem before 103 update
