In about:config, try setting the pref "media.wmf.vp9.enabled" to "False" and restart the browser.

What OS are you using? If you're on Windows, then definitely use trava's workaround here per this thread.

For the about:config option, if it doesn't appear, create it. Right-click on the about:config page, then select New --> Boolean. Paste media.wmf.vp9.enabled as your preference name, then set it to false. Restart your browser afterwards.

For the WebM MSE, go to the Tools menu from the menu bar, and click on Preferences. Go to the Content tab, and there you will see the "Enable MSE for WebM video" checkbox. Check it.

Did both of them, it seems fixed thank you :D By the way is "media.wmf.enabled" is something different from "media.wmf.vp9.enabled"? Should disable it as well?

I think it's better not to touch it for now.

No you should not touch the "media.wmf.enabled" pref. That will disable a lot more than you need and would likely cause other playback issues.
