I could pinpoint the issue to hardware accel. on nvidia and opened a bug report upstream (https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox/issues/3727). Thanks though, your input helped finding it.

@egnrse I'm not able to reproduce with youtube, are you by chance using a VPN? The only similar issues I found of their issues log is related to VPN security settings within the app.
Another thing you may try is a clean profile in waterfox, no vpn, and please let me know if the issue persists. If it does, please launch $ waterfox from terminal and provide any possible output while trying to load a video - and a link to a video that you are experiencing the issue with.

since updating to 6.5.6-2 I cant seem to stream any videos (in waterfox), they are all stuck at buffering (seems to be true for all streams I tried. eg. youtube). This still happens with all plugins disabled and does not happen in the waterfox flatpak package. Am I maybe missing a dependency?

6.5.3 reinstall (new revision) as upstream replaced the previous 6.5.3 binary package

@tomacrisan thanks, updated

Oh yes, hawkeye is still actively maintaining waterfox, including Arch packages, but not here, indeed. I have found him on github and have opened my issue there. Thanks!

@papavlos please leave comments regarding the AUR package only. I believe hawkeye has stopped using and supporting waterfox

@hawkeye116477 I am installing from home_hawkeye116477_waterfox_Arch/waterfox rather than from AUR, but don't know where to report it: today is the second time when the "waterfox" file in /bin links to itself instead of "/usr/lib/waterfox/waterfox". Please check it. I had to remove the existing /bin/waterfox endless-cycling link and then create it as "ln -s /usr/lib/waterfox/waterfox /bin/waterfox"

Marking a new release as it seems the binary package has changed since @selfdenial posted. I've tested basic functionality and seems to be ok
