Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
[solved] HTML5 Youtube with no video on Firefox/Iceweasel, in Debian testing/Stretch
Googling a little bit about, some solutions to the same symptoms pointed to needing to install something like gstreamer-ffmpeg. But not only that's unavailable in the latest Debian testing (Stretch), but it seems it's the other way around: for me it started to work again when I deactivated something related to gstreamer on about:config.
Doing so doesn't seem to have affected anything else (namely flash videos). But I feel that now HTML5 on youtube is somewhat heavier, buy maybe it was just xapi-apt-update-whatever running at the same time.

It's still possible to activate the gstreamer-related thing on firefox and have HTML5 video working on youtube. But you got to uninstall some gstreamer-related packages. I don't remember which ones I've uninstalled, but my list of installed gstreamer-related things is:
