Test scenerio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1La4QzGeaaQ&t=60s
Select 4k60 and go fullscreen, the video could play for few seconds, then firefox freezed that had to be killed. Without the setting noroot (discovered by trial and error), then video plays just fine.

OS/Software/Drivers:
Arch Linux
firefox 58.0.2-1
firejail 0.9.52-1
linux 4.15.1-2
nvidia-dkms 390.25-4

Duplicate of #1753.
Quick and easy fix it to either switch to nouveau or echo "ignore noroot" >> /etc/firejail/globals.local

@idnovic commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2018):

I have issues too but with intel.
I can play variable time of an video but at on point it just freezes until I unfullscreen the video.
The moment I unfullscreen it the playback goes on. I can now put it in fullscreenmode again.

I added the suggested fix but the problem persists.
Edit, I removed the fix and instead removed noroot from firefox profile as suggested #1753
