In about:config, right-click on the field and create a new "Integer" preference: general.useragent.override
Then copy in the sample string I put up there. Close Firefox and restart and see if the video works with the right controls. If it works, then that means YouTube's UA sniffer is broken.
I think you meant new "string" not "integer" right?
Yup, I did, sorry. Hmmm... well go ahead and reset it back so it doesn't mess with any other sites.
As mentioned by the others, it's possible that this is a problem with the 64-bit version of Flash, which is not widely tested. Note that Mozilla does not officially support 64-bit builds of Firefox and does not guarantee any quality with them. About the only other thing I can think to try is to disable Hardware Acceleration under Flash Options.

Thank you guys for your help, I mark this issue Solved for now, since there's no quarantee which is causing this problem.
It's not necessary to mark posts as "solved" on this forum... unless they really are. That might be confusing to some user who happens by here with the same problem!

Nightly is a highly experimental version intended for testing. First of all, if you don't want to help find and report bugs, then you should be using the latest stable version instead. Secondly, add-ons can't be expected to work properly in test versions, with the exception of a handful that have test versions themselves (like Adblock Plus development builds or beta versions of Status-4-Evar).

So, I've had this issue for a while now as well. Well, it comes and goes it seems. Sadly not finding much about it. There's this thread and a few posts over on Google groups by people with the same issue. No solutions anywhere.
I usually see the settings button at first when loading the page but then shortly after either the button disappears completely or if it stays, the quality settings disappear even if the was in it at first.
It's only an issue with the flash player (the HTML does not have this issue). I've got version 12.0.0.77 of flash installed, 32bit. Currently running Firefox Beta, version 29. This was happening before beta 29 though. Changing useragent to 27 or 28 did nothing. Disabling all addons did nothing.
Sounds like Nx64 gave up but I'm open to suggestions.
So I decided to give Nightly another shot, this time I installed x86 version of Nightly (Like I previously mentioned). Quality on YouTube is working fine now, but I'm unable to close LastPass toolbar, should I create a new topic for this bug?
Also if HTTP2.0 is enabled Gmail pages won't open. I think that this is mentioned earlier also by other member.
