Public bug reported: After some update Firefox 65.0 does not play YouTube videos anymore in some virtual machines of Virtualbox 6.04. The following VM were tested and found wrong Xubuntu 18.04.2, Ubuntu Mate 18.04.2 both with Linux 4.18 and Ubuntu 16.04 with Linux 4.15. The same Firefox release does play those video correctly using real hardware with Ubuntu Mate 18.04.2 and Linux 4.15 and in the Virtual machines of Linux Mint 19.1 and Peppermint 9, both with Linux 4.15. Also the Firefox Development 66.0b7 edition has that same problem. Opera, Chrome and Chromium still do play those videos correctly in the Virtual Machines, which do not play with Firefox.
On starting the YouTube video, it starts, it buffers to get the normal 2 minutes. But after a approx. 9 frames, it halts displaying the video.
