Android Lollipop and mobile flash YouTube vids

Flink_Poyd

I upgraded my LG G2 to Android Lollipop a few weeks ago to be all cool and down with the kids. In KitKat there was away/fluke of getting YouTube flash vids to play as quite a few get posted on the site even though Adobe stopped supporting flash for mobile but on Lollipop I couldn't get it to work. Eureka! I have now found a way of watching Youtube embeds from the fretboard again.

This is for Firefox mobile as Chrome wasn't for me and Dolphin just got all crashy and crap.
In Firefox you need to go to Add Ons and install

This should then change the video when you click it to either a link or different view of the video which when you click again opens it in the Youtube app.

I've no idea why Google want to make it as awkward as possible to watch videos on mobile but I can finally watch videos of people terrible playing and cats yawning again. My life is complete

Don't you just set them to open in the YT app?

They don't show up as a link just used to get the "a plug in is needed" placeholder

I don't think I've had that problem with Lollipop on my LG G3. I'm using Chrome too, strange.

Hmm on mine you just click them and it opens the YT app.

I'm on Firefox not Chrome, can't get on with it
