The thing is, Firefox now _always_ uses the flashplayer, unless I go
to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and switch to the html5 player. Html5
works flawlessly, but is no longer the default player.

Have you gone to https://www.youtube.com/html5?

After a closer look, the only thing that's different is the absence of
the flashplayer plugin for the test user. After putting it in place,
it's the same behaviour here as well: when opening a video on youtube,
the flashplayer is always opened first. The only thing that helps is
disabling it entirely. That wasn't the case before. The flashplayer
plugin was always there, but when a video was available as html5, the
html5 player got used. Now, it's just the opposite, and I just can't
see why.

Firefox suddenly defaults to flash again on youtube

[Heinz Diehl]

Hi,

the subject says it all. It came out of nowhere, the only thing I
remember is having used youtube-dl on this machine a singe time
today. Firefox used the HTML5 player on youtube, now flash is back as
the default player, and nothing helps to get rid of it. No downgrade,
no upgrade, only the manual switch to HTML5 on the youtube config
page. Next time, flash is back as the default player.

However, after creating a new user, the default player is html5 for
this one.

Where is the config option, switch or whatever changes the default
player in firefox back to html5 again?

Thanks,
 Heinz

What's the difference between the two user profiles?  Accepting/refusing
cookies (could try clearing out the stored cookies for YouTube)?
Allowing/refusing scripting?  Flashblock options?  Logged into YouTube?
