Public bug reported:

After today's update to Firefox 37, the HTML5 video play on YouTube
should work with hight resolutions that 720p. On a 14.04 installation it
does work, but on my 15.04 installation it does not. This feature is
part of the official Mozilla change log, so it must be a packaging bug.

You can verify the status of MSE on this YouTube page:
www.youtube.com/html5 . Firefox 37 is supposed to support all, but the
last feature (VP9 with MSE). But Firefox on vivid apparently only
supports the top row, in sufficient to watch higher resolution video.
