YouTube player iframe API: playVideo doesn't work on Firefox 9.0.1

Question

I\'ve got some YouTube embedding code (I will paste only code which is causing the trouble for me and cut things which are not public):

console.log(ytplayer);
yt

I was having a very similar issue and was struggling with an answer. My calls to playVideo() didn't seem to work.

ORIGINAL:

$('#play_movie').click(function(){
    $('#video').show();
    if(player)
    {
        if(typeof player.playVideo == 'function')
        {
            player.playVideo();
        }
    }

The issue was that the player was not yet available - if I just gave it a bit of time to show up, then the call worked

$('#play_movie').click(function(){
    $('#video').show();
    if(player)
    {
        var fn = function(){ player.playVideo(); }
        setTimeout(fn, 1000);
    }

Don't know if this is your exact issue, but I hope it helps someone
