Videos in the browser (youtube, twitter, reddit) load, and then pause. I can see any moment of the video as a still, but I can not play the video.
Does anyone know a fix for this? I have tried installing flash, installing ubuntu restricted extras, gstreamer, and so far the behavior persists.
edit: hardware... also disabling hardware accelleration in firefox does not solve anything. Currious why Virtualbox is reporting as VmWare.

Please edit and post hardware (graphics) information and drivers version if you installed any. That's where troubleshooting should start. The things you say you did have zero impact on the rpoblem (YouTube no longer uses flash and additional codecs aren't required either).

@GabrielaGarcia Seems simple enough to play a video in a web browser, not sure why "all bets are off" just because of virtualization. Yes there is an added layer of complexity, but it doesn't mean things can't or shouldn't work. I have had this working on older VMs.

Updating VirtualBox and VirtualBox Guest Additions from 6.04 to 6.06 fixed the issue.
Edit: It appears the issue is not fixed. The video freezing seems to happen after locking the host and logging back in, so it's likely a VirtualBox bug/issue and not anything to do with Ubuntu or Firefox
