Hello, i try to play YouTube videos, but get an error (look at screenshot). I have no problems in safe mode and in other browsers it works as well. I've already deleted Firefox and reinstalled. I also have up to date graphic drivers.

I have Firefox v. 57.0.2 and Windows 10

Does it work when you disable hardware acceleration in Firefox?
