Is this important for how you test? I'm not sure this is a use case we need to support.

Cristian, could you provide the regression range please? Thanks

Sorry for the late response. Had to do a manual regression to figure it out.
Best I could narrow it down to was this:

The only thing that stands out to me is 1553486, but I may be wrong.

I didn't see much by the media team in there except for some stuff by bwc. Maybe Nils has an idea?

That seems like an edge case and we already shipped 70 with this bug, I am marking it as wontfix for 71.

Note that running Firefox direct from a DMG is known to be broken in multiple ways and to my knowledge we do not support it, we have a bug on file to tell avoid doing it: bug 1314074

I don't see anything in the regression range that jumps out at me. Based on comment 6 it sounds like we don't generally support this case.
I'd be interested in knowing if any error is logged to the console when we fail playback.

I have retested this again. Unfortunately there is nothing logged/reported in the browser console.
However, in the web console the following things are listed:
Media resource blob:https://www.youtube.com/645ad9d0-ef13-2e48-af67-144c8c8c528c could not be decoded.
Error: This error message will be blank when privacy.resistFingerprinting = true. If it is really necessary, please add it to the whitelist in MediaError::GetMessage: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - mozilla::MediaResult mozilla::RemoteAudioDecoderChild::InitIPDL(const mozilla::AudioInfo &, const CreateDecoderParams::OptionSet &): RemoteDecoderManager is not available.
Moving to p3 based on the error message. Looks like the RDD is not starting, and I want to make sure this is expected and not indicative of some greater issue. Dan, do you know who would be a good person provide feedback on this scenario?

I'm working on RDD at the moment. I was not able to reproduce this with the STR using Firefox 73 on OS X 10.14. There were some concerns in bug 1314074 with moving Firefox to a new location and that causing problems, so I tested that as well. In each case (Firefox from dmg, Firefox from Desktop, Firefox moved to folder on Desktop) Firefox started up with a new profile, but youtube playback worked as expected. If we don't expect things to work properly when running from the dmg, I don't think investigating why RDD fails to launch (given my experience, perhaps intermittently?) in this case is a high priority.
