Firefox only: on opening link for Youtube video this video starts but after 0.5...1s stops; Play button must be pressed to continue.
Youtube video starts but after 0.5...1s stops, returns to intro splash screen of the video with 'Play' button on it. The play button should be pressed to start the video. The video may be selected on the main page of Youtube or started by entering link to the video - it stops in any case. The same problem when Autoplay is selected: the 2nd video starts then stops after 0.5...1s.
No such problem in MS Edge browser on this PC.
