Also firefox + ublock, but for me, it literally makes YouTube unusable. As in videos just flat out will not play in any way. I just get an endlessly loading spinner for the video
I have this problem or it will play for like 3 seconds and then buffer for a bit, play 3 seconds, buffer, repeat for infinity. No matter what I do I have one of these issues with Firefox and any adblocker and it’s super annoying.

I have had that happen a few on desktop if I left a video paused overnight, but refreshing the page sorted it out right away.

It sometimes happens for me as well
Usually I can get to the vid if I go to the channel and try again. Or trying again a little while later.
It’s fuckin annoying when it trips

I used to get that, but now I don’t even get that few seconds.
Try an extension to spoof your browser agent.
I set mine to spoof Chrome and my Firefox + ublock stopped having any issues with YouTube.
Oh. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll give that a try!
Do you have uBlock Origin, or one of the fake adblockers that try to ride on its name?
I verified it and it is the genuine ublock origin
