Some youtube videos will play, if you add the FFMPEG package, using ANPM (RPM/YUM). Just be sure that you have the SDL (upper case) package installed first. If the sdl (lower case) package is installed, it will block the install. Uninstall sdl (lower case), watch what it uninstalls with it, and install SDL (upper case) along with those packages, then install FFMPEG.

I have the FFmpeg libs installed and SeaMonkey plays youtube videos fine. Could be just a busy network, this LTE connection can get overloaded.
VP9 videos should play even without the FFmpeg libs and as mentioned a NFB video plays fine.

Help-About just says this is 45.9.0, just as the previous version did.

Go to about:support and look at the Build ID. Should be something like 20180418200317.

Firefox 45.9.0-3 works fine here, I downloaded the RPM file, unRPM'ed it, copied the @unixroot\usr\lib stuff to my d:\apps\firefox directory after renaming the old one to firefox_old, started fine. I haven't bothered to update anything per the required RPM list as I suspect I'm up to date anyway.
The previous version ran utube videos fine here. I haven't noticed any performance difference or any issues but then its only day 2.
I don't use yum/rpm stuff beyond unrpm'ing any rpm files required.
I have checked a few youtube videos and every one I have looked at, University of Western Australia material, Hawkwind, Anatomy, etc, have all played well including audio. No stuttering.
FYI: I use an Intel Core2Duo 3GHz (CPU=1 in config.sys) with 4G Ram and a 500G Seagate SATA HD with 64M JFS cache. The only plugins I use are Download Helper and NoScript.
[Edited: grammar and youtube addition]
Eugene Tucker:
I can confirm the new test reliease of Seamonky does indeed play the Youtube videos with out hassle. While the GA release of Firefox will not. I tried 3 different ones. And I also can confirm that the New relaese of Firefox does not want to shut down.
