Firefox and youtube
Eugene Gorbunoff:
Please confirm, does Firefox 38 support youtube?
I am using ArcaOS 5.0 and Firefox doesn't support playback of videos.

If I remember correctly, no.
You need to try the latest FF. I have used both the FFPentium and the FFSandyBrige and both work good.

FFSandyBridge 45.9.0 runs just about everything I throw at it except for sites that require a Windows browser. I use the OS/4 kernel, the FFSandyBridge, and the AVX libs since the OS/4 kernel can use AVX. For some reason, I cannot find Dave's AVX libs on line.
The FFPentium runs good with the OS/2 kernel.

With Firefox 38.8.0 I could play Youtube videos, but some months ago that stopped.
Apparently Youtube no longer supports Firefox 38.8.0 , but it still allows Firefox 45.9.

Tom, you are right. It worked for a very short time and quit working. That was when I switched to FF45.9.0.

I haven't tried it in sometime but others have answered. Make sure you have the FFmpeg libs installed.

This is a known problem, fixed by updating to FF45.9 for now.
My latest Firefox builds are now at https://bitbucket.org/dryeo/mozilla-os2/downloads/. Using a newer compiler seems to have helped with stability.
