YouTube Video Playback Speed - Help with Firefox?

[MegaScientifical]

Relatively recently, a playback speed menu was added on the resolution menu of videos viewed with HTML5. However, this has not worked for me, doing nothing to the video. Now that it has been a while, I assumed there might be a problem with my browser causing this. I went to look up the problem, to discover this has been working for others. I ran Firefox in Safe Mode, but it still didn't work. Then I tried Internet Explorer - and the playback speed option worked! Therefore, there is something keeping Firefox from utilizing this feature. Could anyone point me in the direction of a solution which would allow playback speed to work for me?

I'm pretty sure Firefox's HTML5 capability is lacking.

Port suggested it might be that IE supports h.264 and Firefox/Chrome/Opera don't. h.264 is the only one that can have variable speed? http://www.youtube.com/html5

Port is wrong because video speed works perfectly in Chrome.

Port told me Chrome was too slow.

Back on subject, could you guys actually help me get this working?

Edit: I used Scriptish to force playbackRate variable on a YouTube Video. All it did was break the audio - wasn't working. I heard this happen with people adjusting speed on Firefox... What the hell is so wrong as to break this? Is there a fix?

Code: [Select]

var scriptCode = new Array();
scriptCode.push('document.getElementsByTagName("video").defaultPlaybackRate = 2.0;');
scriptCode.push('document.getElementsByTagName("video").playbackRate = 2.0;');

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.innerHTML = scriptCode.join('\n');
scriptCode.length = 0;

document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

Firefox simply doesn't support it. If there was a fix then it would already be used.

"playbackRate" is supported, it just doesn't fuqin' work... You're sure there's no patch, Add-On, etc. to make it work? YouTube seems to just avoid trying, which is annoying since they still give you the menu.
