[SOLVED] YouTube only shows 360p (Firefox)

Hey. I am using Firefox with NoScript and YouTube with the HTML5 player. This has worked fine in windows, but since installing Arch I can only see the 360p option when playing videos. Upon googling the problem, I found 2 solutions. One is to reset Firefox, which I did without any improvements. The second was to switch to flashplayer, which I do not want to do because of its lack of security. Any solutions here?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] YouTube only shows 360p (Firefox)

you have NoScript installed that blocks ytming.com ... click the noscript icon you should see it in the list and select temporarily allow ytming.com

if your satisfied with the result you can make it permanent using the same principle

Isn't this normal? I meant: default. I'm not sure if there's a way of getting higher resolution in firefox on linux.
Check your youtube settings (if you're logged in) though.

It is set to use the highest possible settings.

Go to about:config and set "media.mediasource.enabled" to "true"

With this I can see 720p in Arch (and 1080p in Debian, I wish I knew why...)
