bam80, go to about:support and click on the button next to Profile Folder (about 8th in list) and this will show the Profile Folder.

All Linux users already know that .mozilla in ~/home contains the profile.RobertJ wrote:.

The new profile would have been quickly created by renaming (better) or deleting the existing .mozilla folder.
@bam80 - on the YouTube vid, try lowering the frame rate under Settings (the cog) on the vid itself and then press Play. HTML5 can be tiresome on Linux.
If it gets out hand, then just use SMPlayer, which has its own TubeSM Player that plays YT in mp4.

Sorry guys, it was just weird local behavior on my Ubuntu 16.04 system - Chromium didn't work also.bam80 wrote: Have the same behaviour - can see video frame by frame by moving the spinner, but can't start the video - the circular line just spinning around.
Reset Settings, Safe Mode, turning of HW Accel didn't help.
Don't know what to try else..
So I just install all updates, reboot and all is back to normal. No idea what it was..
