TenFourBox and YouTube

I have the mp4 enabler installed and YouTube works fine with TenFourFox.

However,

When trying to set up a dedicated FoxBox for YouTube, I get the "old" Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available (ref html5)

How to address this?

   If you check the box to prevent the site detecting you're not using a normal browser and regenerate the foxbox, does that fix it?

   I threw out the original FoxBox and created a new one being sure to check the box as mentioned. Same problem. In my TenFourFox app, I can play html5 no problem. I have the mp4 enabler and correct files in my library.

   I cannot reproduce the problem. When I create a FoxBox for YT with all default settings it works just fine, playing VP9 per default (mp4 enabler is installed, but YT prefers web.m for Firefox; to get mp4 you need to disable web.m in the browser or FoxBox's prefs).

   What's the video URL of the specific video you were trying to watch when making the screenshot you attached?

   Try making a YT FoxBox with this URL as the start page:
   https://www.youtube.com/html5
   What does it say about the supported formats? (see screenshot for what I'm getting).

   Before we do anything else: Please close all FoxBoxes and update TFF to FPR 14. I still don't know why VP9 is disabled in your FoxBox, but H.264 cannot even work in FPR 9 technically regardless if it's disabled or not.

   TenFourBox worked right away after upgrading to FPR14.
