Youtube and WebMs are weird when trying to automatically play (details inside), yet using Flash to load videos on sites like DailyMotion works fine.
This started a few days ago, possibly coinciding with updating to 41.0.1.
If I load a video on Youtube, or load a WebM, the video shows that it's set to "play", as it's supposed to, and it loads as normal, but it doesn't actually play, the time just stays at 0:00. If I pause and unpause it, or move the timer, it plays like normal. Also, if I load a Youtube video from a referral link on the page of a video I'm already playing, this doesn't happen. This also doesn't happen on sites like DailyMotion that only use Flash instead of HTML5.
Is there a proper fix for this? Even if I were to force Youtube to play with Flash instead of HTML5, it won't fix the problems with WebMs.

Did you disable autoplay in the HTML5 media player or have an extension that blocks media files?
You can check this pref and other media prefs on the about:config page:
- media.autoplay.enabled
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I agree with cor-el's diagnosis. Before Firefox 41, scripts would send a Play command to the HTML5 media player to start the video to work around users who disabled autoplay. Firefox 41 stops the playback, but it does not fix the player controls, so you see a pause button even though the playback is halted. Hopefully there's a way to fix it in a future update.
