Default strange mauve cast on youtube video

That sounds like incorrect processing of the complimentary colours, It may
well be that there is a flag in the videos to correct this for different
video formatas and some of the videos do or don't have the flag or maybe
Firefox does not see all the flags, which I suspect is likely the case.

I've borrowed one of those cheap £50 4k 360 deg experience cameras and
was hoping to use it to get a 180 pano shots , rather than spend £300+ on
a go Pro.

So after messing about and finding I couldn't do it on a Mac (or rather a
way to do it) , using a PC I got a suitable file 7GB for 15mins of
video. uploaded it to utube, which took about 1 hour then it started
processing 2 hours later it was still prcessing, went to bed and next day
it was done.
But was annoyed after all the effort that the resulting video now had a
strong and annoying mauve cast to it.
I was using firefox at the time, so asked a work collegue if he knew why
and becasue I had to log on to my work email I used safari and the cast
was gone, using chrome no cast so it seem that only FF has this cast but
why no other video I've watched on yuotube has this.

Not sure I expect anyone to know but if you've experienced this don't
worry just aviod FF.
This is the video it was just a test so not really made for interesting
viewing and nothing much happens until 8mins in when a pair of tits come
into frame No if the above isn't clickbait what is ;-)

"about:config in your address bar

Search for

and double click on it to change it from false to true.

Presumably this has something to do with changing the
CODEC choices, and maybe it's a different CODEC that isn't
colour-compromised. I couldn't find any hints as to why
that might help.
