I tested the video above in FF 46.0.1 and 48.0a2, no issue for me.

Disable all other addons, keep only ABP enabled, submit an issue report and then post here the report link.

Since I've reinstalled FF, ADP is the only Add-On that's running. As mentioned: I already reinstalled that as well.

Video was this one on YT (for others to try), just took a random one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mvbISn4Nds

Same effect: Videos load immediately but play ads first.

Something aside (maybe mentioned that already before): When I load a video on YT where the "black screen" effect happens and then go a page back and forth again, the video now starts properly.

probably it is not complete the report
Field filters.text exceeded length limit and was truncated
click ABP icon, open blockable items list
search for "adunit"
copy the items address and post them here

- remove the filters above
- go to https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads ... ated?hl=en
- turn off "Ads based on your interests"
- test again
