Enable Youtube Player Mobile

AMO Link

Adds a site-specific override for Firefox for Android to spoof the Chrome useragent for m.youtube.com and enables MediaSource Extensions. This allows videos to play in the browser instead of playing in the native app. Site-specific override support was only added in Firefox for Android 22 and MediaSource Extensions were added in Firefox for Android 25.
