Youtube video 360p issue

I've noticed that there is no HD only 360p (html5)

So i went on https://youtube.com/html5

H.264
Media Source Extensions
MSE & H.264
MSE & WebM VP9

They are either missing or not enabled !?

I don't know how to fix this, please guide me through (flash works fine though)

Browser:  Firefox

Hello,
Try to open about:config in Firefox and set true for:

media.mediasource.enabled
media.mediasource.webm.enabled

Please choose a more suitable topic title, and remove the superfluous "help". Also, the installation subforum is not the correct place for this topic, moving to Multimedia and Games.

Please read through http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Firefox has some optional dependencies which are needed for some video playback, have you installed these?
